It looks like this year should be full of teaching! I will be doing several new things, and I look forward to the challenge.

I was talking with someone today regarding the merits of rewards versus the no rewards school of thought. As a child, I actually worked really well towards rewards. I haven’t finished the no rewards book yet…(got caught up with some Sookie Stackhouse and other things 😉 ) but I am reserving judgment on the matter. I was realizing how many concepts, ideas, details, thoughts on teaching, etc, that I have been exposed to this past year and a few months, and how I have barely had any time to utilize those ideas or let them sink in. Hopefully this year I will be able to do that! Then by summer, I will be ready to attend either another Suzuki Institute or maybe Mimi Zwieg’s Institute, or perhaps something else. Though I have no intention (at this time…) of continuing formal schooling, I want to continue to learn. There are so many things in the world I don’t know…
