Season Four
Episode 105
Reflection Series
Looking at the Fall
Reflection Guide
I like to have a plan and I like to have control over where things are headed, even if it’s just the illusion of control. I feel better when I’ve prepared to the best that I can and have some ideas for how to move forward with curriculum, content, and personal goals. As I think about the fall and how many different ways teaching could look at that point, I’ve tried to think about how best I can prepare myself for whatever might happen. I realize this is impossible to perfectly plan for, but if I can understand some of my anxiousness and my hopes then I feel that I can move forward from those to thinking about how I might begin to think about content and things I can do. There’s no perfect way to do this, but I feel better thinking about it rather than avoiding it until I am forced to think about it. I thought I’d share the things I’m thinking about with you so I’ve turned all of my personal reflections into this five episode series that I hope will be helpful for you as well. Each episode will be about a specific topic and I’ve created a simple guide that includes the questions asked within the podcast episode along with areas to jot down notes and thoughts. I hope that this episode helps you think about ways you can acknowledge your anxiousness and hopes and consider even just one idea for the fall so that you can feel better about whatever the future might hold. I’ve found that one idea leads to another and I don’t have to have it all planned out - I just need to start thinking about it.
