I document why my ego feels good about the progress I see in this Podcast and why there must be some sort of balance between my ego and what I'm trying to help others with.

I share the definition of racial anxiety (which was new to me) and more information about how it impacts our role as educators. I read from a report about the science of equality in education.

I document and share a piece of an article I read about implicit bias. Also, why all humans need to learn what implicit bias is so we can have the change that we need in our society, regardless of the color of our skin.

I document, with my oldest son, a case for looking at evaluating student progress from another perspective and knowing that it's easier said than done at times.

I overheard a conversation in a coffee shop from a 25 year old woman saying things that I was thinking about when I was her age.

I document some thoughts on who gets to decide how I balance the time I have each day between my family, school, students, and things I enjoy doing as a human being.

I document how my day went and how apologizing was a theme for me today and being human makes us more credible.

I document a dream I have of performing a TED Talk and how one is supposed to manifest reality by feeling as if it's already occurred.

I document a situation where I responded to a student behavior and how we, as teachers, are the only ones that truly understand what feels right based on the community we've built.

I reflect on a moment of clarity while playing with my oldest son on a snow day....if I want him to be present with me I must do the same with him. And, how this connects to all we do as teachers.
