Let it move in and through us into action. To let the awe, wonder, interconnectedness, and curiosity in, let it lead.” -adrienne maree brown

Faith is the attitude of the swimmer in the water. He doesn't cling to the water, doesn't grab hold of it in order to keep himself up; he lets himself go, relaxes into the water, and floats.

Ginott https://padlet.com/laurakgibbs/myfestwords/wish/2221219757
“I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. 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. Ginott, “Teacher and Child: A Book for Parents and Teachers” 1972. Available to borrow at: Internet Archive.

"My mantra for teaching is always this: Make the choices you can live with. So the question is – what can and what should we live with now – given that whatever we are feeling (exhaustion, trauma, done-ness, etc.) is mirrored by our students?"
