I saw this graphic and had to share it with all of you. I know that as educators we are making so many decisions all day every day. But to see the numbers there...1500 educational decisions on average every day...I suddenly feel educationally exhausted. But we know it's true. You are making so many important decisions in your classrooms. And these decisions have an impact on the students in front of you. Some decisions are easy, some not so much. Some decisions have to do with your pre-planning and some have to do with your in the moment planning and shifting gears on the fly. Some decisions are focused on the class as a whole and some are for specific students. The song line "ABC, easy as 123" popped into my head, hence the title of this post. But I know that all of the decision making you do is far from easy. I read Swim Team on Sunday, a graphic novel that tells a story of a girl moving to a new school. But what I loved was that the author embedded some important history about segregation into it. I also started reading a new book that a friend of mine wrote called Leading the Whole Teacher: Strategies for Supporting the Educators in Your School. Love that the author recognizes that teachers have a lot of emotional and psychological needs and have been traumatized over the last few years...her book is about hope for the future of education. I am also super excited to dive into a new book that came in the mail... The Commonsense Guide to Your Classroom Library!
