I have read books during my master's program that teachers are not the major players in the education process. Parents are the other half. We have to start seeing each other as equals instead of one being the "main player."

Teachers have to look past the student's abilities to see the whole child, not just what skills they have or don't have or behaviors they exist, but the whole child. They also see all of you, even beyond what we think we show them.

Having a community is so important.  Knowing you are loved and welcomed for ALL of who you are is extremely necessary for success.  Making space for growth includes being full of compassion and positivity--seeing the greatness that can be, in the midst of the highs and lows.  It is a symbiotic relationship.

Teaching compassion to students is often beyond the scope of academics.  We are essentially helping to raise these kids, so if they aren't being taught compassion at home, where will they learn it from?  I try to remember to teach those "other things" all year long.

I believe the world revolves around the education and foundation of  how we react to our children. The importance of how we teach and educate them will help so many children. Allowing us to help a child to succeed. Heart is what is the focus of why we do the things we do for children each day. That is why I feel I belong in the School district and setting.

Taking the time to really get to know our learners at the beginning of the year and throughout the year is so important so we can know when to cheer them and "mourn" their setbacks. It is so easy to fall into the thinking that as teachers we need  "get all the things done" and getting to really know our students can wait.

Compassion is what we experienced this spring. By being there for our students and their families as we navigated something unprecedented as well as for our team mates. I feel that being there for one another helped us. This will also be what will help us this school year with all the new unknowns.

Now more than ever it is hard to get the feeling that we are doing a''good job'' with all the changes we are facing. I know that I need more than ever that feeling of support and the external 'atta-boy's' from my collegues and peers, just as much as the students will need it from us. Growth happens when we are not feeling restricted and have the safe space to make mistakes.
