\"COmmunity\"Overwhelmed… a common side-effect of the first F2F session of C21! There is so much flying around; the Toolkit, #DesignThinking,\u00a0what other people are doing and your own ideas on how to apply your learning all flood your brain at once! Other side effects include bouts of edu-nerd giddiness, fear of inadequacy, feeling of invincibility, desire to change and in rare cases dizziness and vomiting… but rest assured that many of these subside by the 2nd F2F and are replaced with more edu-nerd giddiness and desire to be agent of change!
\nThe main take-away from the first F2F is the value of Community.\u00a0A\u00a0key aspect of C21 is learning and growing through relationships. As @aharding<\/a> and @gvogt<\/a> mentioned in the video, the community is always there for you, so learning and\u00a0growth never end! Having a supportive Professional Learning Network (PLN) where people are working to #tryonething and aren’t afraid to fail is comforting and empowering. @gnichols<\/a>\u00a0shared “Continued growth does not mean success” which sums up everything we need in order to\u00a0feel secure when wading into unfamiliar territory.<\/p>\n

Another take-away\u00a0was the importance of\u00a0Chunk, Chew, Check<\/a>\u00a0when introducing new things. At the end of the day, participants were all chewing on their learning, and through Twitter Chats, Google Hangouts and emails the facilitators and coaches are checking to see where people are at, and ready to provide support and guidance. I think those coming from afar are at an advantage because in the two hour drive home with @timrollwagen<\/a> we were talking about C21 the whole way!<\/p>\n

Finally, I am reminded that compassionate educators often experience what Rushton Hurley describes as “Comparative Inadequacy Syndrome” (CIS) when amongst an incredibly gifted group of educators such as those in\u00a0C21. It’s important that “the only person you compare yourself to, is the YOU you were yesterday” Rushton Hurley, October 2015.<\/p>\n

C21 Participants, Coaches and Facilitators are invested in you! We are invested in your journey, whatever it may be and wherever it may lead you.\u00a0What will your #tryonething be? Feel free to share your ideas in the comments, and let’s learn together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
