Are you surviving or thriving?
Of course, this really got me thinking about all of us in our current state of testing for TRC's, NWEA's, ISTEP, IREAD, 8-step, etc... It's overwhelming at times and survival mode is sometimes where we land. But, do you want to know how this changed for me from surviving to thriving; talking with students and teachers about their goal-setting talks. I have seen students with grins that cover their face because of the improvements they have made. These individual talks having given students confidence like never before. I have also seen a change in YOU. Many of you have stopped me to talk about how well your kids have done testing this go-around, and in turn, this has validated your teaching. I see renewed excitement in you! You are thriving!
I hope this gives you some encouragement to thrive. Find some ways these next few weeks to help you continue to thrive. Maybe even pick up an easy read like The Magnolia Story.
