      The 40 Decisions series for educators:

      The 40 Decisions Every Teacher Must Make

      The 40 Decisions Every Principal Must Make

      The 40 Decisions Every Pre-School Teacher Must Make

      John Steinberg, Ph.D., is the author of more than 50 books about

      Welcome to this Big picture – Little picture workbook for pre-school teachers.

      The Big Picture is about your values, visions, purpose, aspirations, and the philosophy of your life and your teaching.

      The Little Picture is about the small behaviors, habits, decisions, and priorities you make to turn your values and visions into concrete actions.

      Think of an orange. The Little: The skin, pits, juice, white threads, vitamins, and molecules. Those are the details. The Big: An orange represents citrus fruits, countries where it is grown, health, or perhaps reminds you of a holiday, an event, or a person. The Big is something greater than the parts; it's value and meaning.

      Your computer has hundreds of small parts but represents communication and information. The chair you are sitting on is composed of cloth, plastic, and metal but can represent meetings work or relaxation. The book of books, The Bible, is a perfect example of Big and Little thinking – life lessons built around specific stories, metaphors, and events. Most good novels are written with details that drive the stories forward but also
