Day 18: Create a metaphor, simile, or analogy that describes your teaching philosophy.
When I was in D.C. this summer at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum I was fascinated by some amazing facts about whales.
I recently reflected on these notes I took while there...
"Whales are mammals who adapted to their circumstances and surrounding. They moved from ocean to land back to ocean. Fossil records traced their transformations."
I jotted down that I wanted to compare the evolution of whales to the evolution of teachers.
--We have to adapt to our circumstances and surrounding too. Teachers must evolve in a way that allows us to function better in our new environments. Even if it's a radical shift like that of the whales.
Which brings me back to my blog from the other night, Fish CAN Climb Trees! http://bit.ly/Xrnj8o
So what describes my teaching philosophy?
Teachers are like whales! See above. :-)
