Be my authentic self.  Which in Tara's book means, "Relatable, Expose a little Vulnerability, Approachable & Learning through Life."  As I think about this year I have had several chances to practice all of them on a daily basis.  I believe this is for ALL OF MY LIFE, not just here at school.  I love the phrase...YOU DO YOU!  It gives everyone the freedom to be their authentic self if they choose...It's always a choice.

My takeaways from this book were building relationships and the philosophy of trust. These were the two areas I could relate to the most as a special education teacher. Building relationships not only with our students but with each other (paras and teacher), grade level teachers and parents is the key to establishing trust. Without trust, there is no way we can build our relationships.

Relatable REAL Talk Treasures resonated with me. The idea and practice of valuing individuality, humble inquiry, listening to learn, providing accountability and open exaltation allowed for reflections and insights into my daily practice as an educator. It was also a great reminder to stay true to the calling.

The essence 0f Be Real is to find yourself and better yourself for the benefit of the students you serve. When you take the time to reflect on your experiences and learn from them, rather than dwell, you create an environment in your mind of constant growth and mindfulness while simultaneously using your time effectively to your advantage. You cannot teach students how to be REAL until you are REAL to yourself. REAL is an acronym that stands for Relatable, Expose vulnerability, Approachable, and Learning through life. According to the book, to BE REAL is a way of life that can be applied to to anything.The book offers examples to help the reader achieve the goal to BE REAL. ~Alma

My key takeaways are to remember to remain approachable and relatable. When days are busy, I'll take time to do a self check and make sure that others feel they can still approach me. I'll continue to remain relatable to both my students and coworkers. It's a nice reminder to help understand what those around us might be experiencing. Curd
