Good Teaching is L.I.F.E Reflection by Greg Curran

Social media is such a powerful tool to connect educators from across the globe. I consider myself lucky to be a part of so many great chats on Twitter and to be a part of such a meaningful professional learning network. I have recently taken on a new role as one of the moderators of #satchatoc which takes place every Saturday morning in the Asia-Pacific area. I came across the work of Greg Curran, an educator from Australia, during one of these chats. Greg is a highly reflective person and takes his role in education very seriously. 

Although I had never met Greg, I asked if he would be willing to complete a Good Teaching is LIFE reflection for a series that I have set up on my website. Greg gladly accepted and took the time to write up a great LIFE reflection. I'd like to thank Greg for taking the time to do this.
