I Don't Want to Teach Anymore! Carl Hartman

The book that you hold in your hand should be considered more of a manual to guide you or a group through a process of discovery. The journey can be difficult and will only prove fruitful if the journey is an honest one. There are three main rules for the journey that is ahead of you and your success hinges on these rules.1. Take your time on this journey of discovery. Do not rush any part and do not rush any individual accompanying you on this journey.2. Be introspective...be very introspective. Think deeply about every thought and question posed along the way.3. Be honest!!! Be honest with yourself about yourself. Be honest about your work environment. Be honest about other stakeholders...don't be cruel, just honest. If you do not feel that you can abide by these three rules walk away now and do not take this journey, because it will not reveal anything honestly meaningful for you. This journey can take many different forms. It could be conducted as a solo journey by a lone individual seeking a deeper look into themselves as an educational stakeholder. It can be pursued by a small cohort of like minded connected individuals seeking to press on to higher ground in their educational environment. It could be the focused journey of an educational workshop or seminar. It could even be the journey an institution of learning takes together during an in-service day. The shape and form of the journey varies greatly, but the desired end remains the same; the discovery of passion once again.
