Day 230: Reflections on this School Year

Daily Blog Challenge Day 230/365

Today was a particularly frustrating day and I am writing this list as a reflection tool to work thru the challenges. I would love to hear how you deal with challenges in your classroom.

1. Teams working together get more done than individuals.
2. Classrooms and schools should each have a vision and decisions should be based on moving towards those goals.
3. Life skills need constant reinforcement.
4. It is easy to be your own island.
5. Your values, even if not spoken outloud will come thru in your actions.
6. It is possible for a great person to be a poor teacher.
7. Checking out and seeming like you don't care are a coping mechanism for frustration.
8. Feeling helpless to change a situation is one of the worst feelings.
9. Students are the reason I come to school everyday.
10. Many students need "love" from teachers and teachers need "love" from their schools/districts.
