It was a great meeting of the MISD Student Advisory Council and the District Advisory Council today at the CEC as they discussed and explored the district's CTE programs! Always impressive, these MISD student leaders offered thoughtful, insightful feedback.

Tough emotions—like anger—signal things we care about. For example, we're angry at injustice because fairness is important. By locating the value beneath the emotion and asking what action will bring us closer to that value, we tap into the wisdom of our emotions.
