March is "Risk Free Month of Teaching" at Solon High School
Below is a letter I sent to my staff today.
This idea comes from a colleague of mine that sent a similar letter
to his staff.
Dear Solon High School Staff,
Today is the first full week of March
which kicks off the “Risk Free Month of Teaching”. During the
month, you are encouraged to explore an exercise, lab, or lesson plan which
you have not tried in the past. Research has shown that when a student or
teacher takes a risk and attempts to stretch their knowledge, success of the
risk is irrelevant. It is the learning process which makes us all grow.
Please take this month to grow your
knowledge and strengthen your skills in your content area, pedagogy and/or with
technology. I fully support your efforts in trying something new.
Success of your risk taking is not a
factor, your effort and attempt is what matters most.
Best of luck and most important of
all, have fun trying!
Oh, and have a great spring break!
