Hey everybody! Sorry I have not posted as often as I had originally planned. I have been swamped (in a good way) with extra work that I was not planning on getting this year due to the pandemic. This has also been a very good winter season so far, but has got me thinking about the phrase in the title. Do we really just "trust the process???"
For me, I don't know. I believe that every group is different and has different needs. So if every group is different then why as educators do we lean into our "process" that may (or may not) have worked with groups in the past? I get that it has worked for us, but what happens when it doesn't work? Do you really just "trust the process" and hope that it all works out in the end?
I don't. Not now at least. I have changed my process in the last year so radically that I have never taught how I am teaching now. To go along with that, I have never experienced the outcomes that I am experiencing now with my school. The students are better than any other high school group I have had in the past. So I don't know, I just think that at times we lean into "trust the process" when we should "change the process." If we don't expect every groups to be the exact same in terms of personality and members, how can we teach every group the exact same way.
So what are your thoughts? Should we just "trust the process?" By no means am I saying that is wrong, but it has not worked for me in a newer program. Has/Does it work for you? I know I use to believe in it, but I am not so sure anymore. I would love to hear your thoughts.
