I think it is very important to take care of ourselves and to deal with the obstacles of life with healthy toolsets. I am passionate about caring for my home and creating an atmosphere that my family can thrive in. I am passionate about my family! I enjoy baking and sharing recipes with my children. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen.]]> 2023-03-25 16:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531369990 miliand https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370362 My biggest motivation in my profession is the "light bulb"; when I see the connections students make and the way their faces light up with relief or excitement or even surprise! It is a beautiful sight and never gets old. I am also intrigued with the challenge of learning about (and connecting with) my students. Sometimes it is hard, especially with my student population. But it is imperative that I know who they are when determining what strategies and supports they need in the classroom.]]> 2023-03-25 16:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370362 miliand https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370540 No. Not EVERY child has access to equitable education. Great things are happening in some places, but many things are NOT happening in many places.]]> 2023-03-25 16:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370540 miliand https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370728  Smaller class sizes! Because learning occurs more in small groups where more individualized instruction is manageable. I would also use my wand to add aides to EVERY general education classroom where class sizes were larger than 15 students.]]> 2023-03-25 16:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370728 miliand https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370989 I hope to make a lasting impact on local education; I want to help make changes that will ultimately provide students with equitable, holistic education. Personally, I hope to have been the parent my children needed at all the different stages in their lives. I hope I would have accomplished a balanced life; that I would not feel regret for spending too little time here or there. I would say that memories of joy are important, the love I shared with others, and the lives I impacted positively. I hope I would have accomplished a long career dedicated to serving students in education. ]]> 2023-03-25 16:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/miliand/ys4y13750mwv8j9t/wish/2531370989
