Book excerpt: Two award-winning young educators from opposite sides of the globe share their insights to guide teachers on how to take risks and innovate in their daily practice. Stretch Yourself: A Personalized Journey to Deepen Your Teaching Practice is chock-full of tools and strategies to show teachers, especially those new to the profession, how to stretch and innovate in their teaching. Using the metaphor of yoga--with its focus on process and practice--the authors take teachers on a journey of self-reflection and assessment, leading them through three stages: Breathe, Stretch and Meditate. The book covers such topics as developing a sense of self-awareness to achieve excellence and the importance of maintaining balance and persevering in your practice. This book features: • The unique look and feel of a journal, with space to write and reflect on ideas as you read. • A self-assessment quiz so you can evaluate your mindset in terms of technology use and innovation. • Ideas for using tools available in your “edtech toolbox” to improve your teaching practice. • Highlights of teachers’ and students’ voices through project examples so you can learn from various perspectives. • Practical activities aligned to ISTE Standards for Educators and the ISTE Standards for Students. As the authors state, “Only through interacting with content, making mistakes and trying new things can we truly become aware of what there is to learn.”
