Strengthen teacher's identity, clarity on priorities, "your purpose matters more than someone's opinion". I love how you address the "must be nice" statement. "It is and keep working hard, you will get there too."

I absolutely love this Mentor program she discussed! I love observing other teachers to expand my knowledge of teaching. "When novice teachers succeed, students achieve."

Still follows CJ Renolds till this day.."Teach Your Class Off" Key takeaways: "To be Interesting to people, you need to be interested in people." John Maxwell. Kids before content, create your space, I'm giving you the present of my presence, become a student of your students, collect dots to connect dots. The end of his presentation made my cry of happiness. I have a story that relates. 🥲

Half Bowman is always great! Key takeaways: I'm not just your teacher- we'll be in each other lives forever. Family room=classroom, no strategy for connection, just the way of life

This isn’t really a question, I could really use some encouragement. I hope it’s ok that I posted this here.
