I reflect on some science behind our belief systems and how that awareness can change our view of what we are doing at school with students.

I document the idea of realizing that moments in our life come and go. Also, that with all of the 'things' that we need to improve on can be overwhelming and that we have power as an individual.

I document why I think telling students that I'm emailing their parents makes me a more credible teacher and creates a more positive relationship.

I document some reflections on reading books to my oldest son's class and how student behaviors mimic what I've seen as a middle school teacher...and how some things just don't change.

I share some information on what stereotype threat is and why all humans should learn about stereotype threat, not just teachers.

I document what I was thinking about before and after I had a 30 minute consultation call with Jamie from The Idea Collective. It was affirming for me to hear that my vision is worth sharing eventhough it doesn't always feel that way.

I document how I introduced a lesson this morning and why telling stories to create connections with students makes me a more credible teacher.

I document some thoughts on a former colleague that ended up quitting teaching because it was too much....and how balancing out the responsibilities us needed to do the thing we loved when we started.

I document a few steps I took today to land a Ted talk and reflect on why it might not matter if I enjoy public speaking anyway.

I document an observation and a conversation with a student about their ability to use certain skills to complete an assignment. Also, is achieving what we want in life all about skills and not the information...or both?
