I have a ton of respect for everything that teachers do.
They spend time outside of their day putting together intricate learning plans that are geared towards helping kids grow and learn all within the constraints they are provided.
Who wouldn’t want to go on a random field trip when the opportunity presented itself because the weather was snowing outside?
But they can’t.
And then when the lesson plans don’t click, they need to pivot, and pivot quickly to ensure the day is not a complete loss and the kids leave having learned something.
The Pivot is what changes the day from being a bad day to great day, they read the room, they change up the plan, they move the ball forward, maybe not in the direction that they had hoped for, but definitely, always, in the direction that the kids need it to move forward in.
