This week's blog connects to two domains of the Heartbeat Framework that I think about constantly at this time of year:
Relationship Architecture — the intentional design of how connection happens in a school. The structures and habits and micro-moments that build trust over time.
Co-Regulation and Repair — the practice of coming back after a rupture. Because ruptures happen in every relationship, every year. The question is never whether they happen. The question is whether we repair them.
An open loop is an unrepaired rupture. And here's what I know about open loops: they don't close themselves. They just get carried into September.
This week's post is about what repair actually looks like in the final weeks of school — and why end of year is your best window, not your worst.
Read it and come back. What's one loop you're committing to close before June?
