The Open Classroom: Nearly the end of semester: reports and progress meetings
What an amazing and great idea! I love the way education is heading in a direction that allows students to take responsibility for their own learning. It is so healthy. I will have to share this great idea with our curriculum team.
Sooo tired. Reports are done, a week to go before holidays. I am looking forward to my friends visiting from Freo and going for a week away with Andy. I have a cold, my son’s glands are up again but he has been tested and he has’t got glandular fever. My best friend from school has been away with that for over a month and I miss her a lot. Pa is struggling with his treatment. The sky is falling.
Experience tells me it will all pass.
I read this blog last night. I totally agree with what the author is putting forward here. Work is such a central part of our life and if we aren’t happy there it can be bad for our health. I love Riccardo Semler’s books and I have also enjoyed Anita Roddick’s writing on this topic as well as everything she writes.
I think happiness is always our own responsibility, yet having said that as an employer there are ways to encourage it and not. I look forward to reading Alex’s book on this and watching his process as well.
I have lots to do today and normally this kind of workload would make me groan but I can’t help feeling happy for lots of reasons.
