Life Changing
The 2020-2021 school year just about did me in. My family didn’t realize it, but I was seriously contemplating leaving the profession - I just didn’t know what else I was going to do. The last place I wanted to be in August of 2021 was back at school. And then we had PD with Monica Genta. If I’m being 100% honest, when I saw we had a two hour PD session, I groaned and thought, “Well, I’m just going to bring my laptop and actually get something productive accomplished because I know this is going to be a complete waste of time.” Oh, how wrong I was. My school had actually brought in some worthwhile PD. That morning I realized something. You see, I was going to have my daughter in class that year. And I thought, “My daughter deserves a better teacher than what I’ve become. And if I don’t think I’m good enough for my daughter, I’m definitely not good enough for the rest of these kids.” So I took that time before students came, and I read Monica’s books. I listened to old podcasts. I completely transformed my thinking and revamped my game. And I fell back in love with teaching. Thank you, Monica, for being a game changer for students and for teachers.
