Because I started for the VERY SAME reasons you did. (Well, I haven't read Penny Kittle's book yet, but I do need to model writing for my 7th graders!)<br /><br />May this blog be your place to do all you say - for me, reflecting has been the biggest boon - writing what I think about certain "big issues" has helped me get my thoughts in order and figure out what I really mean to say. The transparency has helped, as well. I hide nothing from my students, parents, and administration. It feels good to know that THEY know why I do what I do in the classroom.<br /><br />Enjoy your blog... and I hope you get comments to help you reflect even more!
