To me,
perfect teaching
is not
writing
the perfect lesson plan
or
following the program
to a T.
And it’s
certainly not
one checking
the boxes off
of a rubric
not originally
designed
to evaluate
my teaching.
No, to me
perfect teaching
is
providing
opportunities
for my students
to make meaning
and to make
meaningful work.
It’s not
always pretty
and it doesn’t always
work but
I know
when I give my students
these opportunities,
and when I reflect
on how to improve
these opportunities,
to make these opportunities
more meaningful
and to help to make
these opportunities
produce
more meaningful work
then, and only then
am I
teaching perfectly.
