A vehicle for our learning. We need to know how to operate it (best practices) in order to get to our destination. WE also need to be aware of the hazards along the way and know how to safely navigate them.

This resonated with me because it's important to find some humor when working with teachers.  The group  looks happy, energized and confident.  Everybody seems to have a part and there is no obvious leader.  Small group collaboration for participant-centered learning!

The consultant is the guide, but isn't doing all of the work.  They know the path ahead, but the passengers (teachers) are leading the forward movement.  Everyone is in a safe environment (in the raft) but the challenge is what makes this exciting.

PD is like a roller coaster.  Days will have their ups and downs, even turned upside down because of things out of your control. Sometimes that can be a little scary to not be able to see what is happening. Yet, we know the end is always in sight and the experience along the way can be fun and exhilarating!
