Feeling very “Imagination, life is your creation” after attending and presenting at yesterday’s #NNPSiNNovate conference. 💕Our district is doing AMAZING things! #NNPSProud

Every human has the innate desire to belong.

It’s a basic need that comes directly after air, water, food, and shelter.

@hechternacht @happycampergirl I’m working on my EdS in Admin & Leadership so this summer is full of internships! What about you?

[Amanda Van Dyke @MrsAVanDyke]

@happycampergirl I always consider my first day of summer a day of rest. No obligations. No stress. No guilt for not doing anything. #kinderchat

@SFLOK2Ask #OK2Ask Q10: Prioritizing my time and saying no. I think when my schedule is a little less full it is easier to practice saying “No” to better manage my stress and shape my priorities and boundaries. #TeachersFirst

[Amanda Van Dyke @MrsAVanDyke]

@SFLOK2Ask #OK2Ask A6: collaboration with other educators, focusing on topics I am really looking forward to teaching, learning, or expanding upon. #TeachersFirst

[Amanda Van Dyke @MrsAVanDyke]

@SFLOK2Ask #OK2ASK A5: even more than the opportunities, strategies, and resources: it has been the people I have met that have impacted my practices #TeachersFirst

[Amanda Van Dyke @MrsAVanDyke]

@SFLOK2Ask #OK2ASK A4 I was motivated by a grad class that I am taking but their is value in knowing you are not alone. So often teaching can feel very isolating especially if you aren’t supported by a team or your administration so it’s always a good idea to find your people#TeachersFirst

[Amanda Van Dyke @MrsAVanDyke]

@SFLOK2Ask #OK2ASK A2: Because school just ended here one of the things I do each year is take a true breather before I consider next school year. I find that my mind needs time to decompress. Using the summer to plan for long range school year goals is helpful once you go back too

@SFLOK2Ask #OK2ASK A1 Reading for pleasure. Not rushing. Enjoying a leisurely lunch. Spending time with my family.

@teacher2teacher #T2Tchat A7 One of the things (in my first grade room) that we have had to enforce is that “the world is big enough for all of us to shine”. Sometimes equity vs. equality gets difficult to understand for growing brains but this allows us to make space for everyone.
