this resonated with me today.

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

Maturity is choosing peace over drama, distance over disrespect, boundaries over their feelings, solitude over fake company, resonance over history, progress over perfection, discipline over comfort zone, self-love over seeking validation, and saying "no" over people-pleasing.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Classroom management is not about having the right rules… it’s about having the right relationships.

@themikelamb Not sure if this was your intention, but I felt compelled to open my journal! Thanks!

This week I asked students 5 questions to help build a culture of learning:

1. How do you learn new info best?

2. How do you like to show your learning to others?

3. What are you curious about?

4. What are your learning strengths?

5. What attributes do you need in a teacher?

[Terry Linton @TerryRLinton]

This is great. In getting to know your students, I always ask who you work well and opposite. It helps in getting to know them as sometimes that friend is the one who distracts them from their learning and they need your help to stay focused.

5 ways to build agency on the first day of school:

1. Build a Learning Strengths Wall. What do you bring to our community of learners?

2. Co-design some essential agreements & collaborative norms. What do you need to learn best?

3. Plan with curiosity in mind. What do you wonder about?

4. Talk less. Ask & listen more. The more scholars talk, the more the classroom becomes theirs.

5. Get to know your scholars. Agency thrives when strong trust & relationship are abundant.

5 seeds to plant on the first day of school:

1. Agency: voice & choice.

2. Curiosity: lessons that spark awe.

3. Equity: all can succeed.

4. Wellness: calm, confident & joyous spaces.

5. Competency development: HOW we learn matters.

Intentional starts create inspiring ends.
