What's in a name?

According to my Apple dictionary, admittedly not a definitive source, a ‘consideration’ is a thought, reflection, meditation, concern, rumination etc. I would like this blog to do those things. I’m hoping I can keep the posts positive because, as someone once reminded me, it is important to practise the habits of mind that you value and want to foster. For me those are: positivity, curiosity, openness and self-reflection (hence, a blog is a good forum).


Also, I’m calling them 'small' because I would like to try to get into the habit of blogging briefly but often. That way I can reflect on everyday occurrences and make this form of writing and thinking a habit, hopefully.

Blogs and buddies (49/100)

I'm grateful for two things I read tonight. One was a blog on Huffington Post that perfectly enunciates  something I've long struggled with as a teacher, but never really knew how to explain. Peter Greene writes about teachers' feelings of not enough: resources, support, time, of yourself to give. I think that was a part of why I left full-time classroom teaching; I got dispirited with all that I wanted to do but couldn't. The second thing was an email from a friend who used to live here and now may be moving back for a job opportunity. Therefore, again through the magic of the internet, my night has been improved.
