TALE END

May 20, 2020

 

I loved the reiteration that we need to take care of ourselves first before we can take care of others.

Anna Li-Wang

 "Tell me more...” refocus on building relationships and connecting with our students!

Gina Alessandra

 My favourite Dr. Jody quote: “Sit with the winners, the conversation is different.”

Catherine MacLellan

You have to be ok. If we’re not ok we can’t help students. It’s not selfish to look after ourselves.

Michelle Jensen

You need to name it before you tame it.

Kathy Bell 

 Do your best with what is available to you.

Annemarie Simpson

You’re more important than you think.

Brittany Erin 

Drop your shoulders. You are enough.

Linda Zazula 

 My favourite was “Perception is a function of experience."

Nicole Falcone-Dempsey

 Empathy, kindness, compassion do not live when you are anxious.

Crystal Whitney 

When people complain about anything... respond with “tell me more.”

Lynnsey Harder 

The ones that are hard to love need your love the most.

Maria Kantolic 

Have grace with ourselves, our colleagues, the families that we teach and interact with. We are all just walking each other home.

Marie Carolyn

"We were together and I forget the rest” was my biggest takeaway. Trying to use that to live in the moment both with my family and with my students.

Allison Nette 

 “Comparison is the thief of joy!” So true at this time where we are teaching online and worrying if we are doing enough.

Trina Curtis Benteau 

 “Tell me more” ... such a great way to build relationship and show empathy.
