Keep It In Persepctive

As we head into testing season, it's easy to focus on what we haven't accomplished or what our students don't know. Our society puts much value, both financially and praiseworthy, on test scores and school letter grades. Be mindful to keep those measures balanced with what really does matter.

How many connections have you made this year? How many times did you make someone smile? How much more confident does someone feel because of you? How much more safe does someone feel because of you? How much more loved, does someone feel because of you?

Celebrate yourself, and each other for the progress and wins all around you. They are there, and they matter. So do you.
