In Kleon We Trust
The three principals I took away from the readings are: Gather inspiration, Share your work, Think Bigger.
No matter what project you are working on or problem you are trying to solve, I think these are universal and essential steps. For me gathering inspiration on my problem comes from talking to other teachers and students, researching online and reading blogs/post from other teachers. Sharing my work is mostly done through informal conversations with other colleagues. Recently, I have been sharing work through this blog which has been new to me, but also enjoyable. Like Kleon said, even sharing something small can be big. Thinking bigger for me is a mindset to always be growing and evolving. Once you think your work is done or your problem is solved, brainstorm with others, gather new information and self reflect. See how your work can change and become inspiration for someone else.
What would happen were you to share that manifesto of yours with colleagues? What conversations might it spur?
