It has been a while...

I am in the midst of a new school year...to say that it is hard is an understatement, there are so many moving pieces with COVID that is hard to keep afloat at times!

What has been one of the silver linings of all this, is that I have been able to share ideas and talk to more people than ever before regarding Agile in school. I know that my own Agile journey has not been always on the up and right now...Agile hasn't really begun yet in my classes. I am waiting for the right time, to get to know my students and figure out when I can ease off on the reigns a bit. I see them all for such short periods, it is hard to get a good rapport and understanding of the class dynamic.

With that being said, we are starting 'teacherless observations' this week as an experiment to see what students would do if their regular teacher was not there and their 'sub' did not give them any instruction. We tried this a few years back and back then my class were ready...this year no where even close but I am willing to use this to see where exactly what I need to work on and how, maybe seeing it this way round will give me more of a purpose with Agile instead of introducing everything because I can or want to.

​We shall see...On verra!
