Dear Teacher,
What is Get Your Teach On?
A professional development program that brings fun and engagement to all of your lessons. These women are amazing! Hope King and Deanna Jump are the two masterminds behind this and it has lead to so much learning for students and teachers.
Day 1 of the Virtual ConferenceToday was all about prioritizing your life so that you can be the best you and the best teacher you can be. Below are some of the highlights and my reflections from the day. Dave Hollis - How to Get Out of Your Way "Crisis reveals what already was in us" - John Maxwell. Mr. Hollis used this quote as the basis for his discussion on teaching and leading through crisis. This was a very timely discussion in light of COVID-19 and our journeys into remote learning. The take away: Teach your way! Your students need you to. One may ask how to lead during crisis. His advice: 1) Demonstrate Confidence, 2) Be Honest and Optimistic, 3) Throw Out the Old Playbook, 4) Be Organized, and 5) Focus on Emotional Intelligence. My favorite part: the gap of shame (my term). He discussed how we show up versus our potential. The place in between is dissonance. It is where we are not putting enough effort in to reach our full potential. I am guilty of this. This guilt results in shame and stops us from achieving all we want to. Learn more about Dave Hollis at The Hollis Co. (shared with wife Rachel Hollis), Get Out of Your Own Way, or I have his book linked below. â Brandon Fleming - Fail Forward "I hope you fail." Brandon Fleming shared that the one thing most people don't know how to do well is fail. "Failure is not your destination. It is a process." We must learn to fail forward meaning to fail and move forward. I spend a lot of time teaching my students to make mistakes each year. This lecture spoke to me on so many levels that I cannot begin to do it just here. If you ever get a chance to hear him speak, TAKE. IT. My favorite part: I love when faith is mixed in with teaching. My two passions besides my family. "God doesn't call those that are qualified... He qualifies those that He calls!" What a powerful quote from Mr. Fleming! You may not be the best teacher today but God is equipping you to be the best teacher for the student's he has given into your care. Visit the Brandon P. Fleming website to find more inspiration.

âFinal Thoughts
I have learned so much from this conference. There were many things that I needed to hear and didn't realize I needed them. I miss the energy and connections of the live conference (as seen in videos). This cemented the idea for me that I would like to attend this event in person.
