A few months ago I embarked on a journey to begin teaching again...
No, I didn't leave administration to go back to a high school social studies teaching position. Now I am an adjunct professor through a local college that is offering a Master's cohort in our school district.
The course, Contemporary Issues in Education, is the same course that lead me to leave the doctoral program I was previously enrolled in. I'll go down that path again someday, but now the timing is just not right.
With this new journey, I've found something that I didn't realize I was missing...the opportunity to teach, to lead other professionals in their learning. This gave me the chance to be relevant. See the professor of that doctoral class was not that - relevant.
He is a great story teller. Just not a practitioner that challenges my thinking or helps me grow professionally.
Here is my chance to shape students' minds in a completely different way. For that I am truly excited...
