💜 Knowing your Value(s) 👇

Courage. Pride. Resilience is our schools' core values. 

It allows us to have a golden thread run through what we do for the students. The WHY behind all we do.

I resonate with positivity, integrity and encouragement.
It helps me find meaning in my day. 
It helps me stay focussed as my colleagues success is my success. 
It helps me to stick to my word, I will keep my word.

I wonder how your values can help you... Let me know!


On the flip side of knowing your values... if  you work in a space where it conflicts with your own values, you can either try to align your values or to move to a new place. 
Easier said than done.

🌵 The Demands and The Resources 🌍

I am reflecting on something I read... Anything that is demanded from you can be addressed by resources. If I have/had the resources I would be able to fix a problem.

That feeling of total overwhelm kept me in a very rigid space. Rigid thinking, rigid ideas and very few resources to choose from. Now that I am back in the swing of it (not a full swing but I am on the swing). I can find more time to think of solutions and find myself reaching out more.  Could it be that 'simple'?  You have a demand.. be it on your time, your knowledge, your skills and the best way to address this, is to find the resources? Is this what other people do and then they get better at what they do... They don't assume they can just do it all? The get resources: they learn or connect or read or try a new way. So it's just getting better at one thing a da...

I work in a Special Needs Secondary - it could work work for primary and secondary students.  This might work for your school as well.  The theory behind this assembly is that you care about the students as you know their special interest...   Here is the 'recipe': 1. Make a PowerPoint of all the interest of your students.      - Ask the teachers for a list 2. One picture per slide 3. Introduce the Assembly linking to the Value of your school, one of your school values will link to this, it should. If not, let's have a talk about your school values.       - I linked the slides to our value 'courage'      -   I also linked it to a Makaton sign for brave, it was a treat seeing the students afterwards sharing the sign with me and other teac...
