Flexible resilience: My manifesto for the coming school year

<p>I’ve been thinking a lot about where I personally can add the most value, and how I can offer support and resources in the way I do best.</p> <p>I’m going to share part of my manifesto here with you. These are my beliefs and goals that will shape the work I do around the changes coming this fall to our schools. You will see these perspectives interwoven into every resource from me this coming school year — emails, blog posts, podcast eps, social media posts, 40 Hour Workweek resources, and so on.</p> <p>Specifically, I'll share:</p> <ul> <li>The importance of time to rest and regroup before preparing lessons for the coming year</li> <li>Why you shouldn't wait for your district to finalize plans before you speak up about your needs</li> <li>How to seek out the overlap between what's best for teachers and what's best for kids</li> <li>How radical acceptance can prepare you to create much-needed change in our schools</li> <li>Ways a flexible, resilient pedagogy can simplify your workload and help you support students more effectively</li> <li>Why I believe the work we're doing this school year will be some of the most important of our careers</li> <li>5 core beliefs that will guide the work I do this coming school year, and the ways I'll offer support</li> </ul> <p><a href= "https://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/truth-for-teachers-podcast/my-manifesto-for-the-coming-school-year"> Click here for links to the transcript and all resources mentioned.</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/truthforteachers/">Join our podcast Facebook group here</a> to connect with other teachers and discuss the Truth for Teachers' podcast episodes.<br /> <br /> I'll be back with the first episode of season 12 of the podcast on August 2nd. </p>
