The Late Bin

Here’s today’s strong teacher reflection.

Successes/Stories

• Some of my former students performed well in the high school musical.
• I had a great time eating lunch with my crew/homeroom today.
• Recorded another episode of the Why Edify Podcast
• I almost finished grading the work in the “late” bin.
• Sent out today’s STRONG Teacher Newsletter.

Thoughts and Takeaways

• Working out with other people can be pretty enjoyable, and it helps to rely on others when motivation is low.
• I’m impressed with the courage performers show. Today, there was an audience of at least 600 students.
• Words are powerful, especially the nice ones.
• It’s amazing how much extra sunlight lifts my spirit.

Recovery and Renewal

• Took some of my colleagues on a ruck today. There were six of us.
• I started to practice STOP, BREATHE, BE moments in my day.

Optimize (quote, affirmation, intentions)

• I intend to be consistent with my trips to the weight room.
• “A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.” - William Arthur Ward

Next Actions

• Clean the desk in my office.

Gratitude
