My TedXPhiladelphiaEd Experience - "When I'm King of the World"

Wow...

My Inner Bill Conlin came through hence the reason for my King of the World approach to this post... (Bill Conlin is a legendary HOF philly sports writer for those of you wondering and often wrote posts such as this)

When I'm King of the World...
Every person who is involved in education (parents, kids, politicians, teachers, custodians, principals, supers, etc...) MUST attend this day long conference

When I'm King of the World...

All Teachers start class with HIGH GRADE COMPLIMENTS VIA @MRCHASE


When I'm King of the World...
All teachers understand that sharing their practice is a moral imperative and we learn more from each other than anything else via @kristenswanson

When I'm King of the World...
All Teachers will see themselves as EDUCATORS not "Math Teacher" or "5th Grade Teacher" via Sharon Campbell WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATING THE YOUTH, IT IS A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE

When I'm King of the World...
"Each student is a chance for greatness" via John Hunter Each student is a bottle of promise, as educators, we need let it out



In closing, I think this quote sums it up best about our place in history...

"History is made by those that make the waves not those that ride them or watch them from the shore."


Who will you be making the waves, riding the waves, or sunbathing?
