Good Teaching is L.I.F.E Reflection by Blue Jay Bridge

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted my last Good Teaching is L.I.F.E  Reflection guest blog.  For those of you not familiar with this guest post series, I will give you a bit of background. A couple of years ago, I created  a L.I.F.E model that allowed teachers to reflect on their journeys in education and major things that they have learned over the years.  You can see the model below:

Essentially, I have educators reflect on each  component of my Good Teaching is L.I.F.E model sharing their personal perspectives, tidbits of motivation, and the different ways in which they have made progress  and experienced growth in their careers.  I've always enjoyed reading these reflections  and hope my readers do as well. 

A friend of mine, whom I have never met in person, agreed to do a Good Teaching is L.I.F.E reflection quite a while back . His name is Blue Jay Bridge, a well-respected educator from Manitoba, Canada. Blue Jay  should be considered an ambassador for what quality physical education is all about. There is no doubt that he goes above and beyond  what is required  in order to consistently  provide a great experience for his students, but to also  continually advocate for our subject area on a much wider spectrum. Although we've never met, I highly respect Blue Jay's work and the  dedication that he brings to our profession. 

I meant to have his Good Teaching is L.I.F.E Reflection up a long time ago, so apologize for not doing so earlier, but I'm super happy  to finally share it. Without further adieu, here is Blue Jay's reflection. I hope you enjoy it.
