Re: [Understand] backing up to Chapter 1 - to kendra

[cathymillr]

I am considering a teaching coach (curriculum facilitator) position for next
year but then wonder if I am the right person for the job because I feel
like a rebel.  

Kendra - your comments about being rebel make me think you would?be a perfect 
coach. I am still a rebel, but I do feel the frustration at sometimes being one 
of few people in the room who are willing to think out of the basal, so to 
speak. However, keeping that attitude is what keeps us going. 

During my first year of teaching, a fellow teacher told me "You have to take a 
risk." I have always tried to follow that advice, and it has never failed me. 
When we speak up at the " intellectual risk takers" we help others see things 
differently, even if it takes what seems like forever to actually see changes.
