Resilient educators harness the power of "being in the moment" to help focus on what's within our locus of control. How do you stay present?
A Dive Into
Vulnerability
In each chapter of Onward, Elena takes us on a dive into an emotion. This month, she takes us on an exploration of Vulnerability. In Chapter 1 of Onward Elena defines this emotion as, "...the courage to be yourself. You cannot know yourself unless you can be vulnerable with yourself." For many of us, allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is a scary place to be. But if we are to create truly equitable schools and feed our resilience at the same time, it's necessary work.
This month, we invite you to explore your vulnerable side. To learn more about the benefits of this work and how to connecting to it feeds your resilience, check out the resources below.
