A quick Friday evening blog update

Up until today, much of what I have learned and observed at school has been student centered. I have been picking up techniques and ideas for maximizing the learning of students. However, today I got my first introduction into some of the real politics associated with being an educator. I won’t go into details but it is worth noting that there does exist a political realm to education, and this is not always at the forefront of a young prospective educators mind. I learned today that as I continue to grow as an educator, I will need to develop my own strategies for dealing with some of issues that I might face in the future.
