About

We’re quite connected as teachers, spending a lot of time with our learners. We might also share a lot of time with our colleagues in teachers’ rooms, at conferences, or on-line, but at the end of the day, we often end up alone with our thoughts. While making our lives rich in social interaction, teaching may often lead to a sort of “busy loneliness”,  as we spend a lot of time giving, but getting relatively little in return.

What is missing isn’t so much a contact with someone else, but a contact with our busy selves.

To paraphrase a brilliant Monty Python sketch – ‘This is what teaching does to people’. We might lose touch with what’s inside.

So, this is my way of  connecting and ‘tuning in’. I hope that by means of expression and reflection I’ll keep track of what’s important and make it stay.

Let’s connect ~ !
