During Closure we take away the need for each teacher to be an environmental curator because this as a skill takes a long time to perfect. It's important that once your classroom is set that you allow that space and the parts in it time to stay that way without attempting to add or take things away. If you are struggling with any aspect of your new classroom, its certainly an option to rumble with me about alternatives. But your role for the school year instead should be focused on co constructor of knowledge, partnering with parents, Listener, provocateur, and negotiator of meanings. During our first couple weeks back I will be partnering with coteaching teams to help work through common struggles and get everyone working on their first classroom projects along with classroom agreements.
