A year ago I participated
in an effort created by a Reform rabbi named Phyllis Sommer called #BlogElul. I
found it to be both challenging and rewarding, and I am eager to participate
again this year. I relish this opportunity to think deeply and move into the
year ahead with greater intention. Writing is clearly a modality that works for me and it helps me to tune in and personally reflect. I regularly
encourage teachers and colleagues to find ways to reach their students by tapping
into their areas of strength, and so I appreciate that the #BlogElul project
has helped tap into mine.
Additionally, this is also
the project that inspired me to start #JDAMblogs
for Jewish Disability Awareness Month in February 2014. (Watch for #JDAMblogs
again in February 2015!)
So, I will once again
do my best to fully participate in #BlogElul. For those of you who wish to follow along or join me in the journey, here is an easily recognizable
image with the daily prompts. (Thank you, Phyllis!)
And, as always, I intend
to stay true to my content. Each of my posts will have a reflection, some
inspiration or a tip, technique or strategy related in some way to Jewish special
needs education or inclusion. As I use this opportunity to reflect on my own
inclusive practice, both professional and personal, I hope to inspire others to
think deeply and differently as we prepare for the New Year ahead.
Join me in the journey.
Join me in the journey.
