The last chapters of the Art of Possibilities gave me a sense of self-awareness. This is a unique book that makes one see the possibility – a way of improving one’s view. I especially enjoyed chapters 9 and 12. In chapter 9 the author talks about practicing generating a spark of possibility for others to share. Special Educators often have to find ways to motivate and create lessons in order to engage the struggling student. When the right spark is found, this will open the door for all possibilities for the student.
Chapter 12 the author talks about the “Telling the We”.
We as educators need to move on from the “I” to the “We”. The teacher must have the boldness to speak on behalf of all the students. The author also suggests that leadership that is not based on what qualification you hold, but how can one incorporate what you know into what we know. What is best for the students? What will we do next? All of us must take a part – be open to the art of possibility.
