The title of this post might give the impression that I'm giving engagement a bad rap. Engagement is a good thing. It increases the odds that students will willingly get on the bus. Yet empowerment invites them to sit in the driver's seat. I have been on a quest the last few years, with the help of the Idaho Coaching Network, to find ways to move students to the front of the bus more frequently. Though I can confidently claim that I'm heading in the right direction, my pursuit of increasing empowerment has left me with more questions than answers. This post is a short and sweet summary of this journey.
My narrative began with the following essential question.
How can I empower my students by creating more opportunities for inquiry, curiosity, and research?
This question led me to the following books.
These books led me to the following inquiry projects.
Although reading these books was the right and best place to start, they still left me with numerous questions.
What does inquiry look like on a daily basis?
How does it look different at the beginning of the year as opposed to the end?
How do I scaffold the research process with young students who can't easily access texts or resources?
How do I still teach required curriculum?
How do I find comfortable and manageable routines, while at the same time, keeping it fresh?
It's a good thing there is expiration date on finding answers to my questions. Next year, I plan to continue iterating and building on all that I've put in place. Though I have very few answers, I choose to take David Wolfe's advice when he says, "Until further notice, celebrate everything."

After the launch of Bitcoin in 2009, Blockchain technology took the world by storm. Within a decade, we have seen many big data companies and businesses adopting blockchain. But why is that? The advantages of Blockchain technology include immutability, decentralization, transparency, security, and traceability of data shared across the network. The arrival of blockchain technology has eliminated the dependency on third parties for verification.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of theliver already present. I started on antiviral medications whichreduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virusbecame resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment fromULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com)) in March, 2020. Theirtreatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test afterthe 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazingtreatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

Are you hiring a finance assignment expert personally for your assignment? When you are searching for help with finance assignment, the company will provide you with a writer. But this writer is not always working solely on your project. These companies take lots of projects simultaneously and the writer needs to finish writing several assignments altogether. This will end up providing not-so-interesting and sometimes plagiarized content. This is harmful not only for your degree but for your whole career too! You need someone who will only work for you and no one else. This will give him enough time and energy to pull off an informative and complete assignment on time.
