Starting my morning off with @MichaelUngerPhD and thinking about resilience through a new lens. Resilience is not about our ability to bounce back, but rather our ability to navigate to and negotiate for resources that sustain our well-being. #pdtc22

One of the big benefits of an online teacher’s convention is the ability to go back and revisit sessions or catch a recorded session that was missed while attending another session. I keep finding new sessions to add to my schedule! #pdtc22
