  • CristinaDajero Jun 25 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    I would say not allowing the negativity of others to bring me down. As an instructional leader, I don’t have the option of ignoring or avoiding. It’s challenging & frustrating when a team is trying to collaborate & you have a toxic attitude infecting the group. #BFC530

    #bfc530 The job is about helping teachers use collaborative inquiry and leveraging the digital when it makes sense. I get to work with a lot of new teachers too!
  • GruntledChalkie Jun 25 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    Actually the start of last week before 2 week winter break. I've been spending too much time dealing with a spate of poor behaviour towards female teachers lately. Bringing me down a bit #bfc530
