I understand where you are right now. I'm sad that's where you are, but I understand it. <BR/><BR/>I certainly hope this post wasn't a goodbye to your blog. You have always shared much that others can learn from. As you return to your classroom in the coming months, I hope you'll share what you are doing there because you are an inspiring educator that many others look to lead. If the classroom is the place for you (as it is for me), let us, in the words of the Keystone Integrators Program, "lead from the middle."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530644544169878833.post-72394602294817440252009-02-10T19:50:00.000-08:002009-02-10T19:50:00.000-08:00Wow Lori...there are more of us that feel that way...Wow Lori...there are more of us that feel that way than you may realize. This is my 3rd year as CFF and even though my district wants me to stay I asked to go back and teach one course-so my position will still be there , but not full time. I want to teach the kids what no one else is bothering to teach them. I just met with my Super today about new professional development models. I feel like there are so many obstacles that are far out of my reach. Hang in there...know that you made a difference...technology is contagious-people will see that in you and want to learn, its a slow process but it happens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03780963436867136784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530644544169878833.post-15117244054293289142009-02-10T18:58:00.000-08:002009-02-10T18:58:00.000-08:00Lori,I too am having a Year Two slump, some of whi...Lori,<BR/><BR/>I too am having a Year Two slump, some of which was the lightyear jump CFF training and bootcamp put me beyond my peers. <BR/><BR/>I took my friend and coworker along to PETE&C and I am in awe of what he has never seen. We eat lunch together everyday, interact professionally and I missed bringing him along for the ride. He was the top tech teacher in the district, and is very good, but has had such limited exposure that he learned tons at PETE. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe you can enhance personal knowledge too fast, as we all learn at our own pace, but the gap created between "us" and "them" seems so great that the effort seems insurmountable.<BR/><BR/>The reality is that we need to readjust our approach and work collaboratively to support and foster the change we believe in. I can't do that from a classroom. Keep your chin up, and keep trying.Ty Yosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670785307811179384noreply@blogger.com
