My day started with a little bit of time on the Elementary School playground. It is the end of peace week here at LCS and the elementary students were performing a song for peace that included supporting peaceful elections here in Ghana. Almost all of the 300+ students had on their house color shirts and sangContinue reading “Peace and progress”

These Times
I’ll start by saying the views expressed here are solely my own. I’m struggling this week to write about being a technology coach as I watch the events unfolding in my home country right now. So I’m taking a knee from writing about my job. It just doesn’t seem that important right now. This week I’veContinue reading “These Times”
L'eggo my Ego
Sometimes the best laid plans just don’t work out. Sometimes, when you really want to tell someone to quit complaining and just do what you need to do, you really need to just sit still and listen. Sometimes, when you only get to ask two of your three questions, someone gets the wrong idea. And sometimes,Continue reading “L'eggo my Ego”

From the Couch
This week my reflect and write notification popped up while I was away from the office. Specifically while I was kicked back on my couch. Unfortunately, it isn’t a holiday or a fun personal day, but a sick day for my little one. We had to leave school early today to take her to theContinue reading “From the Couch”
Priorities, Plants & Plinko days
Here we are on another Friday afternoon. I’ve taken care of an apple for my afternoon snack and I’m ready to reflect. I’m finding my most difficult challenge to be the part of the job that I also like the most. The constant change of attention that comes from staff stopping by for help, emails forContinue reading “Priorities, Plants & Plinko days”
Getting in the Flow or “The Slow Clap”
My first full week of the school year is complete. So far, I absolutely love what I do. It is completely different everyday, full of puzzles, people and practice. I’m dedicated to looking at this with the beginner’s mind as I go through each day. My colleagues come to me for help and to learn but IContinue reading “Getting in the Flow or “The Slow Clap””

Its Been One Week
I made a goal for myself to write a bit this year about my work, so here it goes. I’m happy to say that, at least from my perspective, our first week at LCS was a fantastic success. There were bugs, lots of them, with our LMS and scheduling, but we worked through them andContinue reading “Its Been One Week”
Tranisition
Another year in the books. I’ve now got thirteen years of teaching under my belt and it feels good. It seems like so long ago that I sat in the office of Jackson Middle School on a snow day to interview for my first teaching job. Little did I know as my references were calledContinue reading “Tranisition”
