In 2020, my principal at the time had us write down a word that would ground us throughout the year. My word was PURPOSE. That word has gotten me through many years after—and 2020 was a challenging year for us all with COVID running rampant.
Purpose drives us. Purpose helps us to stay rooted and intentional as we continue to walk the walk of life. It gives clarity, presence, and can give peace. Staying rooted in purpose can remind you of what matters most. It can help you to hone in on the values drive you. Purpose can ignite your passion and give you meaning.
I’m always reminded to ground in PURPOSE and to stay ROOTED.
It’s the 7th month of the year. We have hit the 1/2 way point before 2025.
What is a word you want to lean into for the rest of 2024?
Hello fellow teachers and friends! I began teaching in 2001. It is amazing to think that! I can't believe that I have taught so many grade levels and facilitated learning for teachers for so many years! My teaching began in South Carolina, then Virginia and the now in Georgia. My 21 years in teaching and education have taught me a lot about relationship building, authentic teaching and learning, life long learning and the importance of caring for self. I truly feel that those years upped my level of teaching in ways that I never could have imagined! My love is literacy and infusing diverse books in all we do. I am back in the classroom and I am also an Instructional Coach! I was an Instructional Coach in schools for 5 years and 2 years+ now as a consultant. I’ve written two books too! (If you would love to support there is a link in my blog) This blog is my journey. Hopefully you will stick with me!
