Introduction to Learning Journal

This Blog is to be my on-line Learning Journal for my Masters of Teaching! I am establishing it in line with subject requirements for Methods of Teaching: Later Years, and hope that it will become a useful resource.

The title I have chosen, "Saha Veeryam Karaavahai", is a line from the Sahana Vavatu Mantra. This is both a universal peace prayer, and specifically a blessing over the work of teachers and students, that they may come together in nourishing, respectful and joyful working relationships. Mantra singing is a favourite practice of mine and so it seems fitting to bring in a blessing such as this at the beginning of this journey and as a guide throughout the jounaling process.

May we come together in peace, 

may we be protected and nourished, 

may our striving be for the benefit of all of human kind, 

may our learning be bright, joyful and full of purpose.
