I found that I had students this year who watched out for and watched over each other. If a classmate felt as if they were not as smart as others, they not only let me know, they made it their mission to encourage and regularly build them up. We really were a family!

Community is so important!  Virtual learning has made us really consider how to be intentional in how we build community.

I feel like my students learned to take things in stride and not stress over everything... (sometimes to our detriment, as they are being so chill with EOY diagnostics), but much more emotionally stable, has been the feedback from parents.

My virtual students were always eager to log on and say hi and connect, even if they didn't turn in much of anything or their learning goals were not met -- connection and relationships are everything!

I've realized how much I really miss the interaction with the students (not to mention my colleagues). I am such an introvert, but I have found how much I really NEED to speak to others and see others.

I certainly grew with learning new technology. The learning curve was huge, but so worthwhile! My students were successful despite the challenges as evidenced by the recent positive data I'm seeing in Fastbridge and i-ready.

I've seen some of my best artwork this year from students. I think it's been great that they've been able to watch a video of what to do, and then do it on their own time.

Had to persevere through fear of returning to the building, pushed myself to manage both virtual and F2F students, and learned how to be okay with not being okay.

This year, even though remote at times, the ability to build meaningful relationships and learn something new about each crew member has been inspiring. I'm in awe of those who I work with and learn something new everyday. #wearecrew

I learned more about myself and my ability to adapt. Also to persevere when I just don't want to. This year was an amazing glimpse into what the students must sometimes feel like.

Many of my intervention students had their *best* year ever for a variety of reasons. For some being at home eliminated distractions, reduced anxiety, and allowed them to read aloud every question or passage as many times as needed. For some they were part of a small F2F cohort where they were not overshadowed thus allowing them to be full participants and even leaders. For others we saw the truth of their academic struggles without distraction of a full classroom. We tried a variety of supports that a full classroom might otherwise make it challenging to beta test. The result was a better window into needs, next steps, and increased student confidence.

Build meaningful relationships with not only others but yourself as well. When you dive into self, and operate in your authenticity, it allows and gives permission for others to do the same.

I was introduced to a lot of different and new technologies this year and was able to engage with several of them. I'm proud of that because I often feel intimidated by technology. I typed my college essays on a typewriter my freshman year in college! I've come a long way since then.

Building relationships with ALL students, not just the ones who behave perfectly. Seeing excitement on students’ faces when it’s time for PE and knowing I played a small part in getting them more active or teaching them about health/nutrition. My personal accomplishment is that I graduated with my Master’s in Education from GA state this week after two stressful years.
