As we move forward into another great year of Cohort 21 I have been really enjoying looking at all these fantastic posts about their Urgent vs. Important.

know the feeling of juggling a million things and trying to sort out what can wait and what must be done. That being said I have some goals I want to work towards this year that I want to put out there to hold myself accountable.<\/p>\n
My first goal is to do more work on applicable coding. I find that a lot of material currently out there is great but much more ‘gamified’ and not actual coding. I understand that a lot of that is to do with teachers not being programmers but I would love to do more work on finding approachable and usable lessons on coding language such as python, html and css.<\/p>\n
My second goal is to continue my work on learning more about resilience, failing and helping students be more comfortable with making mistakes. To that end I am reading ‘The Right Kind of Wrong – The Science of Failing Well’ by Amy Edmonson. She is a psychologist who has focused on research on how to create group dynamics where making mistakes is encouraged and responded to positively. I am really excited to learn from this book and share with you all!<\/p>\n
I look forward to seeing you all at our second F2F!<\/p>\n
