“In case you find yourself in the swamp, you should know that humans can easily outrun alligators, which reach a max speed of 10 miles an hour and have no endurance. But they do have teeth. Lots of teeth.” ~Dare to Lead by Brené Brown, p. 111.
In our EPIClearners Daring Classrooms book club, we are doing a slow read of Brown’s book, along with activities and reflections on how her principles apply in our teaching and learning environments. I’m pondering the meaning of this quote and how it relates to teaching and life.
I’ll keep pondering, but for now I interpret it to mean to not be afraid of alligators. I just need to get out of the swamp and stand on the rock of my values and vision of what true education consists of.
