As I’ve been reflecting on our textbook readings, this video came to mind.
Dean James Ryan shares his 5 essential questions to lead to happiness and success. In our practice as educators, I think it would serve us very well to reflect continually on these questions:
Wait, what?
I wonder… I wonder why… I wonder if…?
Couldn’t we at least…?
How can I help?
What truly matters [to me]?
And as a bonus 6th question: Did you get what you wanted out of life, even so?
I hope you find this as inspiring and motivating as I have. I hope your answer is “I did”. And I hope your students’ answers are “I did”.
