CHANGE is ...
“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” – C.S. Lewis
Change is hard OR Change is painfulOR Change is good
When I first started at my current school, I was one of eight new teachers going through "new faculty orientation." This was a large number of new teachers in my small school and I am certain that the established faculty were wary of the changes that the new faculty would bring. I find myself now, after eight years at the same school, one of the "established faculty" and I hope that I am handling the change that comes with a group of fresh new faculty. I am at the same time, sad that so many of my colleagues are either retiring or entering a new phase in their career taking them into leadership in other schools, etc. And this all happens, just when we finally have developed deep, collaborative relationships.
I offer those who are experiencing change some positive thoughts about being an educator in the following articles. I welcome our new faculty and hope to have collegial relationships for the future.
