One thing I learned today was

• some tools to transfer creative thought to the classroom
• use art for teaching activities to set aside my hesitation and just enjoy creating how nice it is to address the ‘soul’ in literacy
• linearity is only one route
• that there are numerous ways to teach literacy – not all literacy is words and symbols. It is also ideas.
• to stop and reflect more deliberately in my practice…where have I been, where am I now, where am I going…

• remember to take time for art
• definitely use this with Stage 3 literacy students as precursor to ‘change’ stories
• feel somewhat refreshed
• try to spend more time writing; it’s been missing from my life and is a great means to get thoughts out and resolve problems
• get literacy providers together to develop a provincial strategy to promote literacy in the business world
• take time to: deliberately balance more to get what I need in my practice; research and read more about current practice; write more and dialogue more
