I too was struggling with passion earlier this year and I appreciate how you laid out clear steps in order to find your way back to your passion. I’m curious, what has worked and what hasn’t? For me, it’s been trusting in myself that I have my…Read more

Your comment on gratitude was important and those special moments of gratitude that can take place in education are essential.

Hopefully we have a chance to connect at some point on Saturday as I would love to hear more about this. How involved in the course is your school’s Teacher-Librarian? If you haven’t connected yet, I bet they would provide a wealth of knowledge relevant to the subject.

Such a great insight into a shared feeling of wondering where education will “net out” once we have a vaccine in place. What elements of NOW will we keep and will remain and what will we celebrate saying goodbye to. Time will tell.

I love that you have decided to “fight” and you offered some great strategies to do so. Your four…Read more

Sounds like it was a productive day for you! It’s great to know that Cohort 21 has become a safe space for members to connect and share ideas.

Thanks for this check-in. Building off of our discussion last month, this is a great focussing blog to help keep you on track too. Some ideas to keep these words at the forefront on your students’ minds:

Thanks for this awesome post with so many great resources! I love the video introduction to Positive Psychology and I’m going to share it with my advisees, who are practicing mindfulness. In particular, I found the piece about “flow” to be interesting. We often talk about “engagement” in our classrooms, but I think what we are really…Read more

I love how you’ve positioned positive education as the foundation for this new educational movement. I am sure that @dneville and @ckirsh would agree too.

Yes, I did read @dneville ‘s post on mindfulness – it was great! And it definitely connects to positive psychology – it’s given me some more to think about.

See you on Friday!

What a great post! Have you looked at @dneville ‘s post on mindfulness? It’s so funny to think that some teachers get so wrapped in their course content that they forget they teach students first and foremost and your post brings that to the forefront.

Thank you for a great reminder and for excellent resources to explore!
