I really enjoyed reading 'The Seven Most Critical challenges Facing our Profession' by Doug Johnson (2002).It's a fitting article to finish ETL 401 with.
1.Enhance collaborative efforts.
2.Demonstrate effectiveness through accountability.
3.Remain experts in technolgy and assist others.
4.Fight to retain our profesional status.
5.Encourage other teachers to the profession.
6.Keep our core values when pushed into providing service model.
7.Stay connected with other TL's.
I wholeheartedly agree with number 7. I have always wanted more opportunity to network and share ideas and learn from other Tl's.
Doug Johnson has the knack of simply summing it all up in a positive way.
The future is exciting but daunting. I know the amount of time needed to commit to further study and to being the best I can be in my profession and for my family. So the juggling act will continue. There is still so much reading to do and new technologies and ideas to explore.
I have had to finish assignment 2 early due to school holidays.
Looking forward to just reading a book in the next two weeks ! Wishing everyone else well in assigment 2 and hope to see some familiar names soon.
