Habit # 2 - Cultivate Perspective and Reframe (Weeks of 3/15 & 3/22)
From the Seven Habits of Highly Affective Teachers
Think about whether it's better to be right or to be kind in our interactions with students and colleagues. Sometimes our students need a win more than they need a correction, so we might be kind today and right tomorrow. Perspective provides hope where there is little and it helps us commit to the long haul. Teachers who have seen formerly frustrating students come back to visit as successful adults trust in the whole enterprise of schooling and growing up. Setbacks are momentary flashes of concern, not dictates of a locked-in future.

Mental Health
Andrea Hused has been working with a some of our alumni regarding mental health support that we have been doing in our senior health classes. One of the groups, PAT (People are There) put together an amazing Bio sheet for some of their members. I share this because it was pretty cool reading about them and what they are doing now.
