Blow your own mind with what I'm about to teach on this episode that the results of our students actually have nothing to do with the results we create as teachers. Results are the way we show up in the world. Results are what we have had a hand in materializing for ourselves. Results are the creation of our thoughts and beliefs. Our Results belong to us and they are made by us. The Results of our students are their business, all the same. Teachers have a hand in influencing student data, of cou...

Time to get out the paper and pencil, after getting your adulting pants on, to explore your thoughts and beliefs. Thoughts can be tricky because the longer we practice them, the more true they seem to us. Before you know it, a thought turns into a belief by way of reinforcing its truth to you. Today we work on uncovering those thoughts and beliefs with some open-ended questions that will help us reveal what we really think as educators. This work can be done in regards to any topic or situation ...

We never stop to question or take a curious look at these thoughts. Why? Because we probably like the way these thoughts make us feel. In this episode, I'll explain more about my take on thoughts and what process...

Today, we talk about the powerful first step in managing our minds. I think its the realization and the practice of recognizing that outside circumstances can't truly make us think or feel anything. Its easy to understand this logically, but in the moment, when we're living our life as stressed out teachers, our judgement can be clouded and we go back into old habits of being a victim, getting defensive and being emotionally immature. Listen once, listen twice. There's something in here for ever...
