Why are we here?
Have you ever…
been overwhelmed by the demands of
too many standards and too few
classroom hours?
said to yourself, “I just don’t have the
time to teach everything I am expected
to teach?”
been frustrated with the focus on
breadth over depth?
Beginning with end in mind…
“To begin with the end in mind ---
means to start with a clear
understanding of your destination.
It means to know where you’re
going so that you better understand
where you are now so that the steps
you take are always in the right
direction.” (Covey, 1994)
Picture this scenario…
“You pack your family into the car for a
family vacation… you stop at the gas
station and fill up the tank (it costs $65.00
to fill the tank)… you get on the Mass Pike
to start your trip with your children already
beginning to ask, “are we there yet?”…
You look at your spouse and the two of
you simultaneously ask, “Where are we
going anyways?” --- Does this make sense?
