Blog on Purpose

Writing a blog on purpose can seem cliched.  Everyone seems to be doing it nowadays.  Our international valley of the shadow of death experience during the coronavirus pandemic, had us thinking, 'what if...'  The thought of living in the rat race then dying made parents want to spend more time with their children, and employees want to start their own businesses.  But how do we differentiate knee-jerk fear reactions from actual purpose-quests?

I have found that clarity of purpose emerges on at least three levels - spirit, soul and body.  To say that I am a born mother, is a paradoxical truth that I've seen manifested on all three of these levels.  Spiritually, I mother people, through prayer, that I don't even know or who are not even born yet.  I invest emotionally and intellectually into my own and other children and young people, to nurture them towards greatness.  Physically, I sacrifice my own needs, unlearn cultural mistakes, and adapt myself according to the different growth stages of my kids.  I embody my purpose on a daily basis, and I love to see other people embody theirs.  

It's easy to tell if you are in the ball park area of your purpose.  One of the greatest indicators is joy.  What makes you smile?  I use this indicator when teaching or training.  If the subject matter is challenging, but we can discuss it amicably, then that's a win in my books.  This is how my training on race equality, behaviour management and work/life balance is prepared.  I address difficult topics gently, truthfully and most of all purposefully.

P.E.T.E.R. Paragraphs

Unless you're a teacher, you've probably never heard of a P.E.T.E.R. paragraph.  It is a useful analytical framework that English teachers use to help their students to respond to texts.  There are a few variations like P.E.E. or P.E.E.D., but I have found P.E.T.E.R. to be the most useful one (as well as being the one least likely to cause disturbing giggles in the classroom).  P.E.T.E.R. stands for Point, Evidence, Technique, Explain, Reader's response. Point - this is where students are required to show that they understand the question and what is required of them.  They need to directly and succinctly state their intention for the question. Evidence - here, they will need to either directly quote from the text given or refer to it explicitly.  They'll get more marks if they choose a quote that is relevant to the question, and has got language techniques in it that they find interesting.  Technique - they will now need to correctly identify and describe ...

Building Blogs

Throughout my life and career, I have noticed three main parts of society that make the most impact on a person's life.  Namely, family, school and places of worship.  I call these places the building blocks of society because really, I can't imagine what society would be like without them.  Also the capacity for influence in these areas is huge.  One, because the influencers - family members, teaching staff and faith leaders - are quite autonomous.  Two, because the learning that goes on behind the closed doors of the home, the classroom and the place of worship is dynamic and constant.  And three, because all of the stated groups have the impressionable minds of children and young people as their responsibility.   My blogs therefore, are focused on tips, tools and techniques that have been designed to ensure that families, schools and places of worship are equipped to leave a legacy of agency and excellence in this world.  Legacy - because ...

The A.S.K. Principle

There is a well-known principle within church circles that's called the A.S.K. principle.  It is based on Jesus's Words in Matthew 7 verse 7, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."  One of the features that makes it so memorable is the acronym.  The first instruction to Ask is acronymized in Ask Seek Knock, and although we are going to look at each step individually, they actually represent a learning methodology that is on an upward spectrum. We've heard teachers say that there are no silly questions and that is true, because even questions that appear to be silly can lead to deep and enriching discussions.  Take the 'Would you rather...?' questions, for instance.  I have often wondered why I was defending my choice of Guinness Punch over Ginger Beer, as a drink that I would rather have if I had only one last chance to choose, however, the progress was not so much in my defensive argument, as it ...
