In certain African traditions, music and dance are synonymous. To make music is to dance and to dance is to make music. I've always felt the same way about teaching and learning. To me, they are inseparable.
As a teacher and a learner, I spend a great deal of time thinking about education and how it can be improved. Although I already write a personal blog where I sometimes post my musings on this topic, I've finally decided it deserves an outlet of its own. So here it is.
I'd love for this to be a cozy space, full of idea exchanges and discussion. After all, that's what teaching and learning are all about. So please, pull up a chair, introduce yourself, and make yourself at home.
As for me, I'm a 27 year old Learning Support Assistant who moved to the UK from Canada just over a year ago. Currently I'm supporting children with Autism in a nursery school and I absolutely love my job, but I also have ambitious long-term plans that will eventually involve me opening my own school for exceptional children. I have a lot of learning and thinking to do before I get to that point, and I suppose that's a big part of why I've started this blog.
There's a great big world of knowledge and wisdom out there on the subject of teaching, and I aim to tap into it and make sense of it as best as I can. I hope you will join me. Welcome to Edifying Education.
