questioning is essential to learning and evolving; caring is essential to humanity

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Irrespective of whether we have faith in religion or not, it’s good to be more compassionate. It makes us happier as individuals with a positive influence on our families and the neighborhood where we live.

Time is always moving on; nothing can stop it. We can't change the past, but we can learn from it to shape the future. Stress on ‘us’ and ‘them’ is a source of conflict. We neglect basic human qualities of kindness and compassion. Let’s work together to create a happier future.

A month in and I would imagine most teachers have already worked enough hrs for 2 months.

[Google for Education @GoogleForEdu]

To support the millions of educators, we're announcing #TeachFromHome — resources to help remote teaching.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

There's an intimate connection between love and compassion, on the one hand, and genuine happiness, on the other. The indispensability of compassion touches us all, from the very first day of our lives, when we're wholly dependent on the love of our mother or some other caregiver

[Joe Clark @DrJoeClark]

Remember when they said we need state tests & report cards because otherwise teachers & principals would slack off?

Well, testing & state report cards are canceled and all I see are teachers & principals working harder than ever before.

Let’s trust our professionals.

@LearningForward Q6: #VirtualCoaching This has been the hardest of all! Scheduling daily walks - and setting a timer so we're up and moving every 50mins - that's helped a bunch. Doing chats from my deck, so I'm getting sun and fresh air, and trying really hard to meditate - trying!

[Suzanne Forman @gr8writing]

@TalentsLady YES!! All of this!

[Suzanne Forman @gr8writing]

@LearningForward Q4: #VirtualCoaching Keep it simple and start with what you do know. Don't try to do all the things, especially when you haven't been doing all the things. Breathe and build as you go. As one thing works, keep doing it; if you're comfortable build on that. BUT BREATE and GRACE!

@LearningForward A3: Last week I had 14+hr days everyday...this week I'm doing MUCH better and have created a schedule to meet with PLTs and "open office hours" to support teachers/groups in the moment, along with meeting with the students I'm mentoring and teaching.

@LearningForward A2: Understanding the different expectations of learning/teaching between virtual and in class. They are struggling with not having any training or understanding of what this new normal should look like or feel like.
