Real leadership means that you help
direct the energy,
you point the way,
you inspire,
you get people to do what they ought to do
anyway.
Hubert H. Humphrey
...you transform and are transformed.
As Educators we constantly hear
education must change. "Capturing The Teachable
Moments" happens to teachers everyday. Can
you inspire and provide leadership? Do you stop what you are doing? Do you incorporate it? Can you
incorporate it? Do you have to? Some
moments are more historically imperative than others. In September our
group was already at work in the classroom;
 |
Phyllis Berry's second grade
students had started a unit on "Being Brave". |
|
In early September 2000 Linda Ferguson
(5-6th teacher) had just
begun a literature unit in Houghton Mifflin called
Catastrophe's. |
|
Lori Jarvis was
working with her special education group on a unit called Heros. |
|
All the literature units
were filled
with stories of survival, bravery, and heroes.
|
|
Marge Shasberger was instructing teachers to use technology. |
|
Then we
were all touched by 9/11/2001.
Like all teachers we faced classes of children
asking questions about the current media flood.
|
|
Was it possible to collaborate as teachers though hundreds
of miles separated us and students ranged from children to adults? |
