The time is now!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of time&#8230; and often I do&#8230; I read a really timely and personally motivating blog entry through Twitter this morning by Chad Ostrowski (the CEO of Teach Better Team) where he talks about the fact that &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/teachbetter.com\/blog\/still-time-to-make-changes-in-your-classroom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">There&#8217;s Still Time To Make A Change!<\/a>&#8221; &#8211; and there is! Whether you have had &#8216;time&#8217; to prepare for today&#8217;s F2F or not, you are still going to show up, and trust me, it&#8217;s going to be worth it!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/DpYau0qUUAAH2Zm.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(image from Chad&#8217;s blog)<\/p>\n<p>In his blog, Chad talks about three main steps that help us make changes in the face of feeling like there isn&#8217;t enough time:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Changes don&#8217;t have to be huge.<\/li>\n<li>There is always enough time&#8230; we just think there isn&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<li>Commit!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Well Season 7, as <span class=\"atwho-inserted\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-atwho-at-query=\"@j\"><a class='bp-suggestions-mention' href='https:\/\/cohort21.com\/members\/jmedved\/' rel='nofollow'>@jmedved<\/a><\/span>\u00a0wrote in his first blog for today&#8217;s session, many of you have been committed since May! Check #1!<\/p>\n<p>And, the fact that small changes are still changes was really important for me, so if you&#8217;ve heard alumni say things like &#8216;try not to bite off more than you can chew&#8217; or something similar to that, remember: any change is a change. Make it a positive one, even if it feels infinitely small at the time, and ta-da! You are a officially a change-maker. \ud83d\ude42 So&#8230; check #2!<\/p>\n<p>Now for the middle part, I recommend you actually check out what Chad has to say (the like is above where I put the title of the blog entry), and what everyone else you meet on this journey has to say. Listening to each other is learning, and this kind of #cohort21 learning is innovative. It&#8217;s going to be a great journey, and you are never going to feel like you have enough time, but that&#8217;s because time is by it&#8217;s nature, limited (24hrs\/day, not 25). So, just know that the time you do spend will be worthwhile. Spend what you can, and of course, show up!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a cliche, I know.
