"In basketball, I want to be remembered as one of the most dominant players ever. In real life, I want to remembered as 'he was a nice guy.'"

@byjoelanderson @stefanfatsis @josh_levin hi - is there any way one of you could follow me back so I could send you a DM? My brother interned with you a while back and passed away over the weekend. I just wanted to be able to share with you.
I got hand made thank you notes from two separate kids today for things that really only involved me giving them the space to share and process. We get hung up on giving kids strategies but the power of just listening means more than we realize.
@always_oges During the lessons? Yes. Does that make us teachers? Kiiinda. It seems that teaching is a bigger part of the elementary role and I do think there should be more training in lesson planning and classroom management in grad programs.

Great story with many layers. I really connected with the uncertainties of parenthood, and the importance of a strong family. Must read! @Laurie_Frankel https://t.co/5ZCyQd1eex
Called a therapist to collaborate about how to support their client/our student. They were openly hostile with me - basically that they saw no reason for us to be talking. That was certainly a first.
@Edu_Historian world views too. As we get older it’s too easy to find like minded people. In school you have to interact with people you disagree with.
