Do not tell me
You do not have time.
You cannot complete the assignment
Or come to training
Or take a course
Or read a blog
Or expand your own learning
Because . . .

 

Tim Holt has written a poem that "recounts many of the “excuses” he’s heard from teachers about why they can’t more fully engage in shifting their instruction to meet the needs of 21st century learners. He reminds teachers that they’d likely not accept a similar explanation from their own students." 

 

Take the time to also read the comments below the poem.
