I am going to make conscious efforts to..,

• Replace the word ‘students’ with LEARNERS;
• Replace the word ‘teacher’ with ‘Facilitator’, ‘Designer’ or ‘Inspiration’;
• Replace ‘school’ and ‘classroom’ with ‘Learning Environment’, or ‘Home’ or ‘Community’;
• Give the gift of ‘Yet’ more often’;
• Let people know its about learners;
• Reflect on conversations, plans and results intently;
• Model the best of what we have and where we need to go;
• Drop what isn’t benefitting facilitators and learners;
• Help others find joy in serving students LEARNERS,;
• Replace ‘classroom management’ and ‘expectations’ with ‘Understandings’;
• Ask ‘Why’ and ‘What if’ daily;
• Get my 15000 steps in by being all about my school;
• Embrace the value and hard work of learner-centered > teacher-centered;
• Commit to genuine conversations;
• Listen a lot more;
• Ask learners what made their day great and what we can do to make it better.
