Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I finished The Thing About Luck. Two weeks ago and have not been able to get the characters out of my head.

Wednesday, January 22, 2014. I ask teachers to frequently spend a few minutes reflecting on where and when they are being strategic. When we are strategic we gear our decisions towards our students and what we know they need, not on what an outsider who has never met our students says they need. Three Dispositions of Being Strategic. Having awareness of what you are doing. Having an awareness of your purpose or intention. Making choices about what you are doing and your purpose.
