As teachers, we often get told, “we have to see the big picture.”
I understand that line of thinking, but I’m here to challenge that idea.
What if we forget the big picture?
Things like…Test scores, learning loss, graduate rates.
And instead we focus on teaching small skills really well.
School years are months
School days are hours
Great lessons are minutes
We win when we focus on the minutes.
Minutes matter more than we can ever imagine.
And school years are made up of about 75,600 minutes
That are a lot of little opportunities we have to teach awesome lessons to kids.
So maybe in 2024 we learn to zoom in, rather than zooming out to see the whole picture
Small things can make a massive difference over time.

With so much love,
