This blog was first created to pause. In the teaching world, life goes by the school year season with each day speeding by until suddenly you’re in front of a whole new set of children feeling as if you’ve actually never taught a day in your life. Even writing that makes me feel anxious ( I know what I’m doing…right?!).

Where have I been? What have I been doing?

Well, to all you nonreaders out there, the past few years I have been mixing my seasons. Taking a year off teaching to be with our new daughter, beginning and then completing my Masters in Education-in Evidence Based Practice through the University of Melbourne, getting married, back in the classroom, COVID, taking time off again to be with our son, and now back in the classroom again. All of that in one sentence? Yes. All of that in 3 years? Yes. Through all of those experiences I have been pausing and processing in other ways. Now, I’m ready to do so again here.

A spin-off the classic Radiohead song, Karma Police, through those experiences, I found myself and yet the importance to question and reflect is still there. This blog will continue to be a place where ideas are shared from a place of wondering rather than perfection.
