At the previous Geography Flash Meet, we discussed our geo-resolutions for the year, I summarised my own with the word SEE.

Share- I intend to continue to share my practice and resources with others. Over the last couple of months, I’ve found this difficult, both internally and externally, for a number of reasons. I’ve never set myself up as an example of good practice, but often worry that sharing can be a viewed by others as self-promoting, perhaps I’m overly thinking about this. Sharing is also incredibly difficult because your work is open to review by your peers: I like discourse and really enjoy when constructive criticism helps develop an idea or resource, but it seems increasingly of late, that some individuals are too quick to criticise without necessarily providing the constructive element. I also feel that often I don’t necessarily have anything to add to the discussion.

Engage- I intend to engage more within the professional communities I inhabit, both real-time and virtually. As an introverted character, virtual communities are a great way to engage with other professionals, though of late I’ve tended to distance myself from certain places, real-time engagement is much more difficult for myself personally, but I intend to have a go!

Experiment- I’m intending to experiment a little more over the coming year, something which I  think I have lost from my practice over the last year or so, now I feel comfortable in my classroom, I think it’s think to push my boundaries a little more.
