I document how, as teachers, we work with our mind and not necessarily are bodies as I reflect on a project I recently finished which required lots of manual labor.

I document the process I use to create expectations with students for our community circles and why I'll use circles for a class that needs one.

I document the mentality I've had about creating a brand as of late and how thoughts of insecurity are thoughts that everyone experiences as humans. I recorded a segment while on vacation this summer about building a brand and share it here as well. Hope you enjoy!

I document a message I send to students when behavior is an issue in class. It's a way to remind students that how they act is a reflection of what they value and how my role as a teacher is to address it, if needed.

I document what I learned from three more positive calls home and finding peace with knowing it's the first week back to school for everyone.

I document how crazy it is to build something invisible like community and how I addressed a student behavior situation to begin year while trying to maintain relationship building.

I document how and why I use community circles and my first positive phone call home with a goal of calling all parents/guardians by the end of September.

I document a conversation about building community and how introducing ourselves using our preferred names could be a simple way to start building one.

I document the last day of summer with my boys and a opportunity I missed to build a relationship with a former student.

That's it. Enjoy it!
