Be Brave #EdChat

I wanted to share a simple post at the start of the school year. This simple post has a very simple message, 


There is so much fear out there for teachers in the classroom. They are afraid to be who they really are. They are afraid to take that risk and do that lesson that they think can make important connections for their students. There is fear to ask admin permission to try something new for the school. The world is a scary place and schools are reflecting that scariness more and more each year. It would be easy to sit and hide for the school year, but standing up and being brave can make a world of difference. Being Brave will look different for everyone. We shouldn't judge the small or large acts of bravery that teachers will show during the course of the year. Instead, we should applaud them for trying. Even if it fails, they got up and tried. I have this quote from Teddy Roosevelt in my room that really sums up my feelings on this,

I hope everyone can find the way to Be Brave and do that thing or those things that can make the classroom or school a little better for everyone. 

Hugs and High Fives,
