Be Curious: Start With Why

Last week, while at a 'Meet the Teacher' event at the Conklin School, I had a great conversation with one of our school's parents.  We were discussing this blog, and after he allowed me to share a little bit of the 'what' of the 'Daily Climb,' he simply said 'why?'

It was a serene and deeply reflective moment.

I have to admit, this three-letter word has stuck with me since.

After some reflection, here's how I think I would answer the question regarding 'Why are we doing the Daily Climb?'

I have started this blog (1) to explore big ideas that are impacting education, our students, our school and our society (2) to provide insights into the inner workings and thinkings of our Rundle College Society and (3) to provide a forum for voice, conversation and debate on topics that are important to us as a community.

Needless to say, I am convinced that we need to continue to ask this question... and more importantly be able to answer it.

(on a side note, if you haven't already read Simon Sinek's book, "Start with why," - do.
