So many hours lately have been spent on writing curriculum, arranging my sub hours, talking to adult learners about programs, and working on accreditation that I find myself thinking about teaching and coaching. So, for our Friday Philosophy, after 2 previous swamped Fridays, I want to share some quotes on coaching. "Failure is good. It's … Continue reading Friday Philosophy ~ Coaching

Friday Philosophy…Rebellion
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." ~ Albert Camus "The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion." ~ Frederick Douglass “The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…Rebellion
Friday Philosophy…Loyalty.
Loyalty. Allegiance. Devotion. Faithfulness. I think most of us fail to recognize the value of these, until there's a breakdown of them. What is loyalty? Why does it matter?

I am already contemplating moving to a cooler climate, and it is only July. Usually, I manage to make it halfway … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…July is a killer!
