Practices like restorative justice and PBIS are on the rise, but do they really work? https://t.co/ofCh4zld3s

Today I taught despite the little voice in my head that will be constantly running though security and escape plans. Today I hugged my students if they asked, and smiled and told them how happy I was to see them, and made sure they felt safe and loved and valued. Today I taught.

[Dr. Jessica Western @todayiwillteach]

Today I taught, despite the pit in the center of my stomach. Today I taught, despite the tears just behind my eyes. Today I taught, despite the fear just below my skin. Today I taught, despite all the questions I have about how and why and what if.
