I document where I'm at with "The Year Of The Relationship" and one takeaway from some meetings with parents. Also, I share how I've come to address student behavior when talking with students about how their actions are impacting how others perceive them, without taking it personal as the teacher.

I document a story about a doctor that had a crazy idea (washing hands) in the 1840's and how we don't know what we don't know, until we know it... Also, I share an article about the history of the term "white privilege" and some research the author (Cory Collins) highlighted to help people understand what exactly it is.

I document a brief exchange with a student about things going on outside of school and relate it to how trust is so important to what we do as teachers.

I document where I'm at with positive phone calls and lunches with students. Also, how the first "homeroom highlight" went with students sharing something they are interested in outside of school.

I document the 'Trust Box Challenge' that I started last year and what success may mean to our students. Also, a brainstorm I had about highlighting what our homeroom students are interested in as a way to build community.

I document an update on thecredibleteacher.com and a situation which made me realize that it would be much easier for me to not care about how to support students at times rather than doing what's right. Oh, and how it relates to teacher credibility.

I document the idea that nobody thinks your special unless you do mentality and what my vision for the The Credible Teacher is based on what we need more of in the world.

I document and don't want to forget feelings of helplessness as a teacher. Also, the idea of expecting nothing and appreciating everything that happens while trying to encapsulate the impact we may have on students which we may never really understand.

I document something my son told me that will help us this year in class, a new strategy for classroom management and a positive email I received from my positive phone calls home.

I document something I learned from another positive phone call home and how news of having lunch with students has spread.
