Experiencing Change

Went to a professional development yesterday in Manhattan that integrated Literature and Math using Common Core. Now teachers, I can hear you groaning but it has actually been a very good PD series.

So I went to a Math and Literacy PD today, which started with an Ice Breaker in which we pulled colored skittles out of a bad and then each color was assigned a question to answer. My questions was, If you had unlimited funds what would you do with the money?

2012 Brad would have said, “I would buy a plane and take everyone I know to travel all over the world. I would buy a house on each coast. I would buy an classic car….etc.”

2013 Brad said, “fund research on a cure for ECD”

Life has a way sometimes of helping us to see what is really important. ECD has forced me to focus on my life instead of just living and letting life happen. Experiences change who we are, and that's not a bad thing.
