If we spend most of our time reminiscing about the past instead of actively trying to improve our current life, then why would we expect things to get better in the future? Let’s believe in the power of ‘today’! It’s not just another day! It’s a new chance, a new adventure! 🥰

Today marks the beginning of Reconcilation Month. Be mindful that this can be a retraumatizing time for Indigenous people. Teachers, beyond Orange Shirt Day, be sure to also teach Indigenous resilience and excellence year round. Our existence is resistance. 🧡🪶 Art: CJ

It's important to remember that change is a constant in life—whether it's in our environment, relationships, or even within ourselves. Change happens to everyone, but growth is a choice. Change is what we face, and growth is how we navigate and evolve through it. #CelebrateMonday

Teachers, especially new teachers, the only competition you have is with your Best Self. You don’t need to be just like a teacher down the hall. You have talents and skills to bring to the classroom that others may not have. The best you is what your students need & deserve!

Being an effective communicator involves learning the skills to exchange information with clarity, empathy & understanding. You can deepen your connections to others, build greater trust & respect, & improve teamwork, problem solving, and your overall social and emotional health.
