I AM . . . THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER

  • I am soul 
  • I am that
  • I am a rock
  • I am hope
  • I am the stone that builders refused
  • I am actually a really, really big kid who shows the little ones the ropes
  • I am creative
  • I am listening
  • I am here to love and hold you
  • I am essential. . . thus tired
  • I am always thinking and learning
  • I am trusted by so many in this environment
  • I am the foundation
  • I am our memory
  • I am the icing on the cake, the cherry on top and the parmesean cheese on the paste
  • I am here for you
  • I am the elements. . . the sun, the moon, above, below, center. . . the cycles of the universe
  • I am the right to risk, learning and growing every day
  • I am loving, learning, living. . . and letting go
  • I am priviledged to be in the presence of children every day

Small Group Discussion Focus

  • What does the word 'research' mean to you in your setting as you begin another school year?

  • What are some of your initial teacher research questions and how do you, or your teaching team, go about gathering data that addresses these questions?

  • What do you think are some of the children's research questions at the beginning of the year in your setting?
