The end of the year isn’t for hesitation, it’s for action. Some moves will miss. Some will land. But doing nothing is the one thing new teachers can’t afford. Take the shot. Finish strong.

I am sitting here thinking this morning that life is tough. We all go through things, many things that we don't ever share with anyone else. I just want you to know that you aren't alone, and you're going to make it. I don't know how, I don't know when, but I do know that tough times don't last forever....tough people do. You've got this, and I've got you.

Strengthen teacher's identity, clarity on priorities, "your purpose matters more than someone's opinion". I love how you address the "must be nice" statement. "It is and keep working hard, you will get there too."

I absolutely love this Mentor program she discussed! I love observing other teachers to expand my knowledge of teaching. "When novice teachers succeed, students achieve."

Still follows CJ Renolds till this day.."Teach Your Class Off" Key takeaways: "To be Interesting to people, you need to be interested in people." John Maxwell. Kids before content, create your space, I'm giving you the present of my presence, become a student of your students, collect dots to connect dots. The end of his presentation made my cry of happiness. I have a story that relates. 🥲
