Language Arts Retreat 2020 2: Creed statements by David Heras https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8 en-us 2020-07-13 17:17:42 UTC 2024-07-23 04:03:35 UTC hello@padlet.com dheras https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653451025 2020-07-13 17:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653451025 The part that resonates the most with me is: "I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity." The reason this speaks to me is because it highlights that you will not compromise what is right...or what you think is best....despite the obstacles that you may face or the opinions of others. Sometimes you just need to do what you have to do. https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495665 2020-07-13 18:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495665 niebergalld https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495882 This part resonates with me because it reminds me that doing the right thing is an internal reward. Also that having an internal sense of peace that the decisions I make are for the best for others is its own reward. ]]> 2020-07-13 18:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495882 https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495907 The part that speaks to me is, "I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded."  It's not about me or one individual person, it's about the goal.  It is bigger than just one person.  It's about doing what's right, not doing what makes one popular. ]]> 2020-07-13 18:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495907 "I will not...negotiate at the table of the enemy" https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495911 Negotiating with the enemy means that in some way, you share a common vision. The purpose of your enemy is to stop you from fulfilling your purpose, calling, and assignments in life. All of the other parts of this creed are the elements that make up your purpose. Therefore, I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy.]]> 2020-07-13 18:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653495911 https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653496161 I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. 
Use every opportunity to learn, don't ever compromise your position if you truly believe in it, never turn back and don't delay change that is inevitable

Like you said, we will be making decisions that some will like and some will not like. This will be a year like no other and the direction we go in may not be popular but should be made in response to what students need in this moment. This will be difficult, but also rewarding https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653496194 2020-07-13 18:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653496194 "I don't have to be praised, regarded or rewarded..." This speaks to me because as long as I know in my heart and soul I am doing the right thing...I am good jmeans6 https://padlet.com/dheras/3mndkjwxfun28uj8/wish/653497113 I don't need the praise from others 

When it comes to literacy...I do feel I have to be right!
