Discover five types of tree or plant around campus that appeal to you on the grounds
they remind you of professional values that you have come to appreciate as important
in the lives of educators. Upon your return, you will be asked to
(a) describe the tree/plant in particular detail, perhaps with a photograph
(b) make connections to the professional value that the tree/plant represents for you
(c) explain the importance of that value to a robust sense of professional life, and
(d) discuss where you have seen (or wish you had seen) this value enacted in your experience as either a teacher or a student.

Where did I wander first? To familiar nearby places, childhood landmark that I revisit as a clumsy adult. I might find a unique plant from my special place, but they grow everywhere. And that’s how I remember that I am connected. And maybe not that special. Why do we pull out grass, and why does it grow back?
