It's official! My Hero in Education is coming to my school to help us create and implement real standards based classrooms. I am so excited, nervous, happy, apprehensive and awestruck! After becoming the PL person for my school it occured to me I could dream to make this happen...and it DID! I know, I know, I sound like a kid with hero worship, and maybe I feel like that a little bit. I always feel a little intimidated by what I consider greatness, but want to be near it to better myself. My association with the organization GCTE has opened SO many doors for me, not to mention opened my eyes to many things I am doing right and wrong in my classroom. I am giddy! Finally, perhaps, my colleagues will enjoy some of the new found exuberance for teaching that I get each time I attend the GCTE conference and hear people like my hero speak. Ok, enough gushing about that.
