From the traffic jams: Post 1

In a way, it's kinda weird leading a team of teachers who are older than me both in age and in the number of years they have been teaching. One is 52 and has been teaching for 30 years. One is 40 and has been teaching for 15 years. There's this other teacher who is 37 this year but 3 years fewer in years of service.

This kinda reminded me of yet another lesson at IDT I has gone through. In that lesson , we learn about 3 types of leadership; downward leadership which is most common , peer leadership which is leading your peers and upward leadership; leading those more senior than you. The most difficult type of leadership is of course peer and upward leadership. I am just thankful for the opportunity to work with these teachers. They are mature yet really fun to be with. I wouldn't trade them for any other staff in the school.

In any case, aside from planning the structure of the overseas trip, I am not really leading them in any way. They are adults and they know what to do.

This is random thought no. 1 from the traffic jam.
