@YisLibrary @Photopoa Look Pete! 👀 It’s your book. 📷📖 😊

Wonderful conversations around our Learning Profile attribute data today. The students were excited to see how we could represent who we are in this way.
I was so happy when they thought about how this data might connect to our class values.

[Marjon Williams @marjonwilliams]

Today, students reflected on their strengths & challenges using the Learner Profile attributes.
Tomorrow, we will look at we can learn from looking at the data with the some guiding questions. I’m curious to find out their thoughts and wonderings.

Students exploring what our school mission means to them.
For one student, living means to ‘find the fire in your bones’.
Another student, used to think the mission could only happen at school, and now thinks it can happen anywhere.
Happy teacher!

We often reveal our values through the qualities we admire in others.

Celebrating generosity, curiosity, and integrity shows depth of character.

Being more impressed by fame and fortune or status and appearance might be a sign of shallowness.

"we must ask ourselves: How am I complicit? How can I grapple with my own racist behaviors and beliefs? How can I further educate myself on this global phenomenon? How can I do better?"

So many great sounding books I want to explore here. Maybe starting with Humanocracy, Inclusify, Leading Without Authority, and In Praise of Walking.
How about you? @debgordon123 @lv_white @gitaneee @Fiona12Moss @Sarah_Metz1 @CBeishline @kmmoss @reinhardt1026

Leading difficult conversations with emotional intelligence is paramount to the healthy culture of a school community. This echos what I have been thinking about in the last couple of weeks. Thanks you @rulerapproach & @YaleEmotion !

In an effort to respond to the dynamic needs and emotions of our school communities, we’ve updated our website with new resources and articles, including a resource focused on leading difficult conversations with emotional intelligence. @marcbrackett
