Before we get too far into this week, let’s take a breath and remind ourselves that winter break is not hot chocolate in front of the fire for many children. It is something else that we may not fully understand.

I am familiar with #LETRS. Does anyone have any experience with Numbers training? Or a contact? Thanks.

A4: Does advocacy come across as complaining at times? #ELASCD

School bus drivers never get enough credit, but this is amazing.Wenatchee School District has the best! #proud2bwsd wenatcheeworld.com/news/local/wen…

A4: Staying true to your ‘why’ demonstrates resilience. #resiliencechat

So excited to have Becky Berg join K-12 education in the Wenatchee Valley. Great things ahead and a great partner with Wenatchee Superintendent. @WSASCD

Great advice. A thread worth the time.

"I tried to do with you, what my coach did . . . " #CoachK This same sentiment gets every educator up every day.

A5: Let us keep in mind that we all have mentors for different aspects of our teaching. There need not be ONE mentor. #resiliencechat

A6: A true mentor shares failures and processes them in way that helps the mentee positively process. Vulnerability. #resiliencechat

A7: Reach out more. #resiliencechat

I know it might not seem like it to you, but please consider that that kid is doing the best they can at the moment.
