I document (tearfully) an interaction I had with a student that was offered a handshake but preferred a hug.

I document how I communicated with a student after they apologized to me for their behavior during a fire drill. And, how managing situations like this one can be great opportunities to build credibility with our students.

I document why perspective is such a powerful aspect of life and how being positive is really the best option in a world full of so many negative things that could overwhelm us. Also, how teachers can use perspective to understand how impactful our jobs our in a society.

I document a study done on power in the classroom and reflect on what I've done to communicate this power dynamic to students. Also, how understanding this power dynamic and how to communicate it could increase our credibility as teachers.

I document since thoughts about a Ted Talk we watched and what teachers have the opportunity to do with the position we have in young people's lives.

A quick reminder that time flies and the things we enjoy now will come and go...a nightly routine documented from our home.

I document some pain I was feeling and connect it to what some of my students may be going through that consumes them without knowing it. Also, how the idea of pain is personal and that we never really understand what others may be going through or how painful their experience may be, regardless of what I think about it.

I document a paper I'm reading about power in the classroom and an exchange with a student that highlights how important it is to communicate trust.

I document a student sharing a concern with me and how I responded based on being a human.

I document a new way to get students to plan how we use our "wellness time" each week. Also, an interaction that would have been very frustrating as a young teacher when I took things more personal.
