Not sure what it means in the grand scheme, but over the weekend, Project 180 finally hit 100,00 views. It only took 763 posts and 3 1/2 years to get there, but we got there. Of course, when I started back in January of 2016, I had no idea, really, that “there” would be here. Not sure what I expected at all. It all simply started as a good-natured dare by one of my students Megan Lavin.

So, I started blogging about education that first spring, which led me to launching year one of Project 180 in the fall. And as I wrap up year three, I am proud of the work behind me. Lots of early-morning musings and finger fumbling (I am a terrible typist) to get to here. But, it has made me a better teacher as I have come to intentionally reflect each day on my experiences in the classroom. It has also connected me with the education world at large, where I have become connected to, inspired and supported by so many amazing educators around the globe. Thank you, all, for the continued, kind support of the work I do. Could not have gotten “here” without you. Thank you.

Do I have another 180 in me? I think so. A lot of work remains, and I think I still have some fumble left in these old fingers. And, in truth, I am excited to share my work around an attempt at a feedback-only classroom next year. I feel like my work is evolving, like I am on to important next better. So, stay tuned, please. Project 180 will be around for at least another year. Thank you again for your support.
