My godmother, a truly amazing woman, once said to me, “Before you say something, ask yourself: is it honest, is it loving, is it necessary.” What if we all applied this filter to our public comments? We could elevate our public discourse significantly. And we need to.

“Watch your habits, for they become your posture. Watch your posture, for it creates your boundaries. Watch your boundaries, for they restrict your growth. Watch your restrictions, for they create immobility. Watch your immobility, for it becomes your illness.”―Katy Bowman

Great info about CAS! Worth reading especially those working with young children who have difficulties in speech

[OAFCCD @oafccd]

Have you heard of Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)? CAS is a speech disorder. Children with Apraxia of Speech have normal speech muscles, but have difficulty moving these muscles in a quick and organized way for speech.

A child’s behaviour is a form of communication. Let’s support our little ones by helping him or her develop the language to communicate his feelings, thoughts, and actions. https://t.co/CwSLlXokZ8

@jlwsmith Thanks for sharing! The use of the word “tolerance” has been a looming issue for me in terms of developing this pyp attitude. Wonder what’s a better word to capture the very essence of what it is abt.

[Amy Mayordomo @AmyMayordomo]

@baninepot Geez! Tough choice but definitely worth the sacrifice😄

Individual and collective identity as a compass for our actions, interactions and decisions. https://t.co/mAJI2JcoE2

"I calibrate my actions
to align with my vision,
not a dysfunctional organization,
not in response to the behaviors
of individuals, and not in reaction
to a fleeting feeling or thought.
I know who I want to be
and what I want to do in the world."

When teachers use humor, students feel better about the content, the teacher, and even themselves. Using self-directed humor, funny headlines/quotes, movie clips or other media, and creating a class symbol for humor are all time-tested and dependable sources for humor.
