My focus this year is to make deeper connections to our storybooks in our School Library - instead of typing in a book search for "insects", "fantasy", "homes", or "emotions"... I want teachers to find book lists on concepts of; change, causation, open-mindedness, thinking, reflection, empathy, perspective, collaboration, cycles, conflict, adaptation, flexibility, and interdependence.
I think this way of searching tells us a lot about good education - what type of searcher/categorizor are you?
Are you more comfortable in a concrete, linear, structured world? Do you see your business/school/classroom/family embracing the abstract, organic, creative world that is evolving?
If we want our students to walk away from a story about collaboration, thinking, adaptation, empathy...how can we then go on to model the opposite in our school systems and personal lives?
