Hard News: For Big Ears

A lesson for teachers (Mike Rose, LA Times)

What I like about Mike Rose's encouraging letter to teachers is that he mentions aspects of failure with the admonishment to get up and get going again. I'm learning this business of leading children in a classroom as I go along. Fresh, young talented teachers also learn as they go along. I depend on the talent at our school for guidance and am heartened to know that in the community of educators, this is common practice.
