What's your favorite instructional warmup?

When teachers feel more than fatigue due to the challenges of the job, it's important to take time to think about what they need in order to carry on—or not.

King Jesus, stop the bombing, protect the children, center our hearts, ignite our praying, intensify our love.

Frodo: “I wish it need not have happened in my time.”

Gandalf: “So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Drink Coffee. Taste chocolate. Watch hummingbirds. Listen to Bach. Nap on a hammock. Laugh.

Don’t tell me there’s not a gratuitously loving God.

A random universe can’t explain why the world is far more beautiful than it needs to be.

Merry Christmas from my class to yours!

What are your FAVORITE ways to make your instruction more student-centered?

It doesn't have to be complicated – these simple swaps, shifts and redirections are a great place to start:

High expectations can push Ss to new heights, says T @Kareemfarah23:

[Scott Sauls @scottsauls]

The world thirsts for a different kind of neighbor – not the kind who deny their fellow man, take up their comforts, and follow their dreams – but the kind who deny themselves, take up their crosses, and follow Jesus in his mission of loving a weary world to life.”

Also good for an October Thursday…

[Scotty Smith @ScottyWardSmith]

On an October Monday, it’s good to remember, we are saved by our “in-Christ-ness,” not our “Christ-like-ness.”

Few people know tired like teachers. In fact research found that teachers make more minute-by-minute decisions than brain surgeons, and that’s extremely tiring. Then add in classrooms full of students & all the adaptations this year.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Had Jesus come with a sword to destroy all evil--there would have been no one left afterwards. Instead he came not with a sword in his hands, but with nails in his hands. He came not to bring judgment but to bear it.
