Teachers on Fire 173 - SPARK - Embrace Professional Comparison
When it comes to professional comparison, we have two choices.
We can indulge in the judge-and-be-judged framework by avoiding the work of other education professionals in order to protect our self-confidence.
Or we can embrace the learn-and-help-learn framework by engaging in professional comparison and building professional competence.
It’s a question of mindset.
Welcome to SPARKS: mini-segments intended to spark your thinking and ignite your practice. These short episodes are based on my written reflections, which you can find on the Teachers on Fire Magazine at Medium.com.
