During a lunch break conversation with colleagues, I was explaining to them my teacher leader project. I was emphasizing to them that we need to resolve to share, advocate, and mentor more in our schools. There is this dominate culture of teacher isolation. The reform efforts have also geared more towards the corporate interest in education. However, despite all the politics and debate. I think it's time we reclaim our role as experts in all education matters. It's important for me to mention right now that COLLABORATION is the greatest asset to all educational experiences. Collaboration allows for the sharing of experiences and we can help each other advance in our profession through the good and the bad. It's time that we build solidarity. Bring critical issues to the forefront and bring about dialogue and discussions. Let's take it out the faculty centers and teacher's lounges and really advocate for what is best for our students. This must become the new way of life for those of us who chose to excel in the teaching profession.
Through this blog, I am advocating for more teacher collaboration. All students deserve the right to be educated and it should not rest in the hands of corporate reform movement of competition.
