A daily blog. An original My Room Message and Sappy Sy Rhyme each day. A book to publish in August. My first for-pay professional development on relationships to plan for March 5th. You’d think I’d be wise enough not to take something else on. But there in the dark on Saturday morning as I was finishing cup of coffee number two, it appeared, and I couldn’t ignore it. I had to follow the fork.

Though I try–mostly–not to take myself too seriously, I do take seriously my journey for better in education. I took it seriously when I started Project 180 five years ago, and I take it no less seriously today. I didn’t start out on a whim. I didn’t chance upon the name of my website letschangeeducation.com. I wanted–earnestly–to change education. It has been the path; it is the path, and it will continue to be the path. And this past weekend, I came upon another fork, another bend that I did not expect. And as I took the first few tentative steps down the trail, I discovered a new better to chase.

A challenge to all. But mostly to myself. Can you impact change, Sy? I don’t know. But I am going to find out. I think when I first posted this on Twitter, many thought it a one-time tweet, a passing fancy. But, for me this is no passing fancy. I am already too far down the trail. And I will use the time ahead to promote and support #NoGradeNovember21.

I have to do this. I believe I can do this. And so here I go, following another fork.

More to come. Lots more to come.

Happy Monday, all.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
