Learning Coach

Our school has just announced a new position for next year... A Learning Coach. No one applied for the position because nobody knew what it was. They had to send out another notice trying to describe what the job entailed, and extended the deadline for applications.

Before the new notice, a couple of us were sitting around talking about what such a position might entail. We decided to make a video describing our vision.

By the way, PLC stands for Professional Learning Community, something that our school implemented just this year.

Here it is:

I'd LOVE to send this to the learning coaches at my school, but they'd fire me!

Life in Jakarta

It is really hard to imagine what Jakarta is like, unless you visit....and we hope our friends and family do just that.

What can I say? Jakarta is busy, overpopulated, polluted and the traffic is a nightmare. Really. Unbelievable traffic.

But there is another side to it: the people in Jakarta are warm and wonderful. All you have to do is go for a walk in one of the kampungs (local, poor neighbourhoods) to see the baik-hati spirit of the Indonesian people. They have very little, but if you needed it, they'd give you half.

And to be a bule (pronounced boolay)! A bule is a white person. Although there are many of us here in the capital, Indonesians are still curious. You cannot avoid the inevitable probing questions. "Where are you going?" "Where are you from?" "How old are you?" "Are you married?" "Do you have children?"

They are not being rude - quite the opposite. They want to KNOW you and they love it when you get to know them, too.

Very different from the New York or Toronto subway experience, where merely glancing at a fellow traveller must surely mean you need to be committed!

And so, we put up with the smells and the traffic...give a little to get so much more in return.

But don't get me wrong....we take every chance we can to get away and go to the coast. Sailing, biking, relaxing on our very private white beach is better than traffic, any day! We stay at our house which we now rent out. Check it out at www.tlrentals.com
