Finding a Crew

"All pirates travel with a crew; you can't sail, navigate, and fight battles all on your own. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is the personal and professional relationships we develop on our voyage." (Burgess p. 169)

Burgess goes on to describe the connections he has made and the learning he has experienced though relationships he has built personally and professionally. He encourages us to read widely about education and attend conferences whenever we can. Social media is a powerful means for access to a Professional Learning Network (PLN). I connected with a teacher from Kansas and principal from Virginia that collaborated with me on this book study through Twitter! And don't get me started on MTBoS! Find a crew!

"When a group of individual brains are coordinated and function in a spirit or Harmony, the increased energy created through that alliance, becomes available to every individual brain in the group." (Napoleon Hill- Think and Grow Rich)
