It's my personal approach that creates the climate. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.”​- Haim G.

Have we paused? How are we taking care--of ourselves and one another.]]> 2021-03-02 20:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260745415 asancinito https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260752915 I love this quote and it hits me hard. How do you think educators would feel looking at this at this moment in time?

An excellent reminder about the power that we do have. I always feel that the more invested, positive, and passionate I feel, the better teacher I am. ]]> 2021-03-02 20:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260754691 Educators https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260758884 I think educators might really like this and it can serve as a reminder on how we can set the tone, pace, the mood and ultimately the culture of the class.

It really doesn't matter whether we want it to be true or not. https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260763579 2021-03-02 21:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260763579 ddwyer3 https://padlet.com/asancinito/2h65151cj2mnarhh/wish/1260774222 Kind of intimidating and interesting.  Hard to think that I could have that much power.
