Unit 4 Ch 12 ah-ha
Pg 266 "Most of our attempts at self-care fail because we try to do one big, nice thing for ourselves every now and then, and expect that to tide us over for weeks afterward."

Unit 4 Ch. 11 ah-ha
Pg. 242 "Your effectiveness is based on doing things that make the biggest impact for kids. There is no direct correlation between the number of hours you work and your teaching effectiveness. #MitchellFewerThingsBetter

Unit 4 Ch 10 ah-ha

2/2 Chapters 7-9 3. We're over-planning stuff for them to do, when what they really need is authentic experiences with skills.

1/2 Chapters 7-9 1. Showing up each day with presence, patience and wisdom so you can be responsive to kids suddenly becomes the most critical work. 2. "Theme your days" to get tasks done.

Chapter 6 "ah ha". Here's one that Title 1 teachers at our school really struggle with and Angela writes: "Do I take the financial hit, or deal with the time and mental cost of always having to make do with inadequate resources?" (p. 131) #MitchellFewerThingsBetter

[Mrs J @jen_jerke]

Chapter 5 "ah ha". Angela writes about teaching is more of an art that can't be quantified or standardized, yet teachers are made to feel there's a right way and it's not they way we've been doing it. (p. 98)
It's time to re-build our self confidence! #MitchellFewerThingsBetter

[Mrs J @jen_jerke]

Chapter 4 "ah ha'". Angela writes, "Choosing to accept something you don't like is a viable path to relieving the stress around the task because you are no longer expending energy on resisting it." (p. 75). Basically, it's not worth it, so let it go! #MitchellFewerThingsBetter

Belief 1- My 3 Ah-ha's: 1. I'm following the mindless work housework, dinner, TV, bed routine.
2. I now understand the difference between hobby work and real work. 3.We feel like we must say yes to everything because that shows our dedication. #MitchellFewerThingsBetter

LEADERS!!!! BE MINDFUL of the words that we use and the EXPECTATIONS THAT THEY BRING. Our kids have already changed the world for so many people. We're all in this thing together. #1minwalk2work #hackingleadership #leadfromwhereyouare

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

LEADERS!!! TEACHER IMPACT on students has never been more evident. TEACHERS have been AMAZING during the PEAK of this crisis. How do we help them invest to the END?

Thank you to @FountasPinnell for providing teachers and students with a digital library so we can continue our Leveled Literacy reading work! Good books are like old friends and my student have enjoyed seeing familiar books and characters! @desmaresschool @rrcna_org
