I have been trying to meditate more and practice mindfulness. These strategies help me recollect my thoughts, clear my head, and well, feel more balanced. It is important to take time to yourself that is more than just mindless scrolling through your phone and watching TV. Another way to stay balanced is to journal, exercise, do yoga, take walks, and check up on friends. As a future teacher I believe in the importance of education but we cannot take care of our students if we do not take care of ourselves. By practicing these activities while I am still a student I can set habits for myself that will hopefully continue when I have my own classroom. I would be able to teach such things to my students so that they learn how to balance their lives and give time to themselves.

It is also important to stay up to date on inequalities that are happening in real time. For example, now would be a good time to be extremely well educated on the BLM movement and racial inequalities of African Americans. This is because it is a big topic right now and I want to know my facts for when it comes up in conversation. This will also help me professionally because I can say with certainty that I will have African American students in my classroom in the future. However, this is not limited to African Americans and it is important to be rightfully educated on all types of lifestyles, history, and culture. An action to take is to research books that accurately represent different lifestyles and cultures and begin a good collection of these books to have in my library in my classroom. ]]> 2020-09-25 15:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ccarpe23/9p6lmwch0l85mx40/wish/779610967 ccarpe23 https://padlet.com/ccarpe23/9p6lmwch0l85mx40/wish/779621238 According to the Learner Profile risk takers are "resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change." I would say that almost everyone going through online school right now due to the pandemic has been pretty resilient in the face of change. It has been disappointing, stressful, frustrating and a lot more. I think continuing with school at this time has taught me a lot about the resilience of teachers and students. Some steps I would like to take, or continue taking is to continue doing my best in school right now and challenge myself with upcoming projects. ]]> 2020-09-25 15:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ccarpe23/9p6lmwch0l85mx40/wish/779621238
