“In my rear view mirror, my life is getting clearer” (Bon Jovi, 2007). Just as a mirror offers reflection, so too, does thought. Inspired by Alec Couros today, my mind flows to that of my teaching/learning life and trust…
What is it that causes me to have utmost trust in public education?
Is it because I believe that teaching is first and foremost a positive relationship building profession?
Is it because I have been trusted by so many and therefore feel that I can trust as well?
Or maybe it is, that deep at the core of my belief system sits a conviction that states what ever I put out in to this world will be mirrored back towards me?
I welcome your thoughts surrounding trust.

When I coined the phrase "KinderKids", my Educational Assistant wondered if it was to mean kinder as in the German word for child or kinder as in nicer. I thought that this was such a rich way of looking at 5 year olds, and... I still do. Welcome to my KinderKid Blogspot where we will discuss everything about this amazing and wonderful time in a child's life.

In the January 17 2011 New Yorker David Brooks summarizes mountains of research with "People learn from those they love." Howabout using that as a metric?
I love the article The Social Animal in the New Yorker from David Brooks. So adeptly captured!
