Irresistible Moments

It’s not impossible to be a great teacher these days, but it is a lot of self-reflection.  How can one improve teaching without improving one’s self?  How does one rid themselves of the “nattering nabobs of negativism?” Is there a place for stillness and action in the classroom? Of course! via Moment within a Moment

Irresistible PLCs

Wouldn’t it be glorious if teachers had the time and space and community within their schools to reflect and cultivate great teaching habits?  Practice and reflection are essential and further our students!  This doesn’t happen in our PLCs. via Our place within our place

Irresistible Practice

“Practice,” as in homework, takes buy-in.  What’s the buy-in for students in our classroom?  Grades?  Fear of consequences? Accolades?  Certainly not samyama.  It’s time to rethink why we assign homework in the classroom.  Practice is important, but so is teaching why practice is important and how frustration is part of challenge and growth!  via Beautiful Samyama
