What an inspiration to spend two days working with @adam_voigt @RealSchools1 around restorative approaches to working with young people. If you haven't read Adam's book Restoring Teaching - you absolutely must! So inspired by the possibilities and 'Imagine if...' @gavhays

Data-informed Approaches to Student Wellbeing Conference….“What wellbeing data do we need to improve academic outcomes for students? Look for micro moments of growth to celebrate success. You can track anything in wellbeing as long as it’s important to you!”
Such a great convo b/w @MarkOConnor1976 & @teachnlearnMB. Love the emphasis on having vulnerable conversations, that improvement looks different to different people and the importance of talking about practice.

So many gems in @BreneBrown’s ‘What’s happening at work?’ chat with @AdamMGrant & @simonsinek! “Culture can’t be a bolt on…The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed…Be a better listener and hold space for others…”
Fresh page + reboot...What are you excited about and how do you keep your energy levels up? What are your successes! Great episode to start Term 4 @MarkOConnor1976!

Consciously choosing to act in small selfless ways is good for our wellbeing too. The gorgeous @actionhappiness “Altruistic August” calendar is packed with gentle ideas & reminders to look up and out, and be present in kind ways with others. #principalwellbeing #teacherwellbeing
A great afternoon @SantaSophiaCC collaborating with Wellbeing colleagues @ahouseman3! Not going to lie…meeting the adorable Arlo was a highlight!
A ‘must read’ on how to respond effectively when a student’s amygdala has been hijacked. Practical strategies provided and an honest look at the critical role teachers play.
The teacher can be the first line of help when a troubled student becomes disruptive in class. Knowing how to respond is key.

Had a conversation with a young person today (a mere 13 years old) and was reminded (once again) about how much we can learn from our students. #gratitude #positiverelationships #youngpeopleareamazing!
