this is a great post! I think Leslie&#8217;s advice is so solid: don&#8217;t limit yourself or your plan. Explore a number of ideas with the general purpose of taking risks and trying something new.

I&#8221;m also wondering what you mean by &#8216;space&#8217;, but obviously it could be both virtual and physical.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being open to a student&#8217;s critical feedback is often tough, but it reflects so well on the type of teacher you are. That&#8217;s the type of growth mindset that allows for innovation and improvement. More importantly, it helps ensure that you make connections and build relationships with trust with a student. Great post and awesome action plan!</p>
