The attendees collaborated in the painting of a 10-panel mural of three mountains that have been visually merged and were painted using tar and acrylics.

I prepared the canvases so that we could maximize the time to paint.

I had the incredible opportunity to be a presenter at the Tri-Association Conference that took place at ASFM this year. I co-presented with Mary Brey, a former ASFM teacher, who is working on the usage of visual scales to "check-in" with people, be it students, colleagues, family members, etc., regarding their emotional well being.

We got to tell our stories about how we started using them and the results we have had because of them. I started using the scales with my Access last school year and we created a positive community where students felt safe and took risks.

By the end of the presentation, the attendees understood where we were coming from and why this is important to us. But most importantly, they got to see how they can also use the scales in their classrooms as well.

This is my first year attending and presenting at this conference. It was eye-opening to see the amount of educators that are involved with the AP curriculum. The conversations I was able to have with fellow colleagues was enriching and inspiring as were the sessions themselves.
