Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

Thursday is our PLT time. We started the day with special areas & @LoschRachel presenting her project while the team gave feedback using the Hess Matrix. Then we moved through all the grade levels creating assessments aligned to standards. #intentional #allmeansall @SolutionTree

The book fair is more fun when you get to shop with Mommy! #dixiemagnet #scholastic #perksofthejob @ Dixie Elementary Magnet School https://t.co/WnAGOXcZgS

I start the day with 6 post-it notes on my desk. Before I leave each day, I hold myself accountable for writing 6 specific notes of gratitude to people.

This practice helps me look for the good. We will see what we look for.

Remember that.

Educator friends: never forget that reason we are in these buildings, these classrooms, these hallways, and these offices is to enhance the lives of our students educationally, socially, and emotionally. Growing and cultivating lifelong learners is why we are there!

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

If you are an educator and your passion isn’t human potential, I’m afraid you’ve chosen the wrong line of work.
