My heart aches with what will play out in the classroom because our leaders have no moral compass…

I can’t imagine a classroom where flux and flow are just what they are…testing culture is alive and well in school. It is difficult to let it go and just teach. It is challenging not to be annoyed by classroom disturbances; at times, these feel like someone or something is pinging away from our test scores (i.e, our VAM scores).  Today, I will try to cultivate more presence and awareness to the forces that truly exist in the classroom and be present among and admist these, without judgment, without reaction, without annoyance. All teachers know this is where teaching and learning truly reside.

In the classroom, or out, our love is a direct product of how much we feed our two dogs. The struggle is real, and cause for reflection and action.  Bad dog. Good dog.
Around the edges of the “work” day, the stuff of great classrooms, are the small rituals of reflection, practice, and preparation. Time is of the essence of course. The choices we make with and in even our smallest acts (before and after we go about our day) can cultivate love, peace, and compassion.
