I agree. It is hard to think about or acknowledge your areas of growth while in the moment.

Excellent point about celebrating...reflection, growth, and the pursuit of excellence. So in what ways do you do this?

We started the year by writing "Teacher Oaths." These are posted outside T rooms. It keeps everyone grounded in core values.

Yes - keep forging ahead, rather that getting caught up in the storm. Model what you want to see happen.
