Season Greetings!
What
gift
are you giving yourself this holiday season?
With the most wonderful time of the year upon us, take a moment and ask yourself,
what gift do you most need to receive?
I don’t mean the kind of gift that might be wrapped up with a bow or under a tree.
Through a professional lens, we can visualize what
gift
might help us to be the best educator for our learners. It could be finding that extra hour of sleep, or it could be taking the opportunity to find renewed inspiration to share with our students. It might be attending professional development to learn a new technique to share with classes or to read a book on integrating a new method of delivery into your lessons. Maybe it is starting a mindfulness practice or daily sketching or journaling. Perhaps visiting some art exhibitions to rekindle and replenish your creative soul is the
gift
you are needing most this year.
As we move through the ending hustle and bustle of 2018, envision the
gift
that can help you grow to become an even more inspired, motivated, brilliant, and caring educator. Continually moving, shifting, and evolving into our next best educator-self is the type of gift that will also become a gift for your students. And that kind of gift is priceless.
