Today I'm sharing 3 stories of time that building community, maintaining professionalism, and staying open won out over trying to control, manipulate, or "win" a situation. 

I have a story of a time that this worked in a team dynamic, a time it worked with a strained parent relationship, and a time it worked with a student.

As we enter a new school year, may we all have moments where we maintain control over our own emotions and reactions, so we can keep community strong in all parts of our teaching lives!
