One of the greatest things that has ever happened to me during my career was being forced to move from a position of comfort to a position of discomfort.

I definitely put the emphasis on the word “forced,” too, because I’m one of those guys that would never move if I didn’t have to. I like consistency.

But every time I’ve been forced, I’ve grown. And most of the time the situation was better than the previous one.

PS: I’m being “forced” again this year—-having to teach social studies and science on a three person team. I’ve taught science three times before, but it’s never an easy experience for me. Besides, I end up missing language arts way, way too much!

PPS: If you’re teaching sixth graders, we should get our kids working on some digital projects together. Drop me an email and we’ll work something out.
