Teacher, Coach, Teacher Trainer, Project leader curriculum innovation

Contributor to regenerative transformations in education.

Aim: to learn and train to contribute in a regenerative way to fundamental changes in education and teaching
Goals: to approach my current tasks and responsibilities;
- as a project leader and colleague for curriculum renewal and curriculum innovation
- as a teacher trainer
- as a teacher/coach for next generations
in a regenerative manner and with calmness.

My children are currentely coming of age which for me means that the arena for personal growth is expanding both to theirs and to the outside world.

I currently hold a position as a project leader for curriculum change. This responsibility is new to me and requires skills that I haven't developed before. I am exploring how I can use the skills I have developed so far in this new position. This new position also allows me to have more influence on the bigger picture than before.
Additionally, I am preparing to start a PhD program.

I have invested by continually reflecting on my personal and professional being, my actions, my frames of reference etc. I have invested in peeling off my past and the zeitgeist I grew up in and recognising the huge flaws of its and my beliefs and at the same time looking into the potential of these insights. I have invested in living in different places, learning new languages and doing many different kinds of jobs. I have invested in continuous development as a teacher. I have invested in a wide range of friendships and relations that show me and let me experience different perspectives. I have invested in a family, including a number of dogs over the years. I have invested in studies both at a younger age as well as in my late 30s. I have invested in activities that are healthy for body, mind and my surroundings. I have invested in the family I grew up with by loving and actively not judging. I have invested in my environment by contributing as much as possible to the community and system I am part of. I have invested in following my intuition and being brave and adventurous at times. I have invested by acknowledging and accepting my unconventional nature and genes and at the same time learning to curb it when needed.
I have invested in still investing in all of the above and in much more I suppose.

We are living in systems (smaller and bigger) in which everything is connected to and dependent on everything. Humans are equal to all the other elements in these systems. Modesty and humbleness befit them but they must now run the extra million miles to make sure everything is reconnected.
It's our task to contribute to the system in the best possible way and to leave the system behind better than we found it.
