@PrincipalKeyMS I actually took an SEL class this summer, and they talked about how closing circles could be used at any level. I could totally see it working in middle and high and could be a great closing/ exit ticket strategy.

I love this! Amazing things happen when we shift our mindset and become partners with our students and their learning.

Once upon a classroom, I thought myself the host of the house, "My Teaching."

Now, I humbly accept that I am a guest in the house, "Their Learning."

Their Learning guides My Teaching.

This changed everything for me.

I just finished listening to “Pomp & Circumstance” in my car, making sure the music for @MountainViewHi2’s graduation ceremony tomorrow burned onto the cd correctly. Visions of our incredible students filled my head, reminding me what amazing things #WeDoAtMountainView @FCPS_OSS

The days leading up to the end of the year are always a mixed bag of emotions for me. Today, @MountainViewHi2’s graduating seniors were not at school. While I am so excited for their adventures ahead, the building is not the same. #WeDoAtMountainView

[Mary-Elizabeth Ertel @MsMEErtel]

Today, I spent a great deal of my day @MountainViewHi2 collaborating with various people. I stand is awe of the power of collaboration. Today was a good day. #WeDoAtMountainView

Saw this while scrolling through and just had to share! Being completely authentic to who you are is such a courageous and underrated thing to do! And who knows. . .you may be just the push for others to do the same. :) #MicDrop
