Yesterday, as part of our inset teacher training day, we were introduced to Sir John Jones, an inspirational speaker who was knighted for his services to education. I thoroughly enjoyed his talk and I left, feeling really inspired and excited about both my professional future and the future for children as they work through their education.
Jones questioned us as to whether we are personally, 'water thinkers' (ever changing, moving and ready for development, or 'rock thinkers' (stuck in our own ways and refusing to 'go with the flow').
I actually felt that I could honestly call myself a 'water thinker', especially having been on this course. I have learnt so much and tackled obstacles that I was literally fearful of prior to starting on BAPP eg. technology!
The talk has spurred me on to put more energy into the last module. It is true that you only get out, what you put in.
For anyone feeling a little sluggish, as I admit I was, I thoroughly recommend watching, reading or attending an inspirational talk to remind you what it is you want to achieve.
Many of these can be found on youtube, such as the TED talks.
