#myPDtoday - relationships are foundational to the work we do as teachers. Take time today to reflect on those relationships which warm your spirit. Why do they do this? How might you use this in other relationships? You are enough - share your spirit in relationship!

Relationships require our attention otherwise, like many things in our lives, they soon slide into a state of familiarity that we know are there but we don’t notice the changes. This is true of the students in the classroom or the people with whom we work. We will see them each day, interact with them but it doesn’t go beyond the surface. To get to know these people, we need to share our spirit with them - that part of ourselves that lifts us, shapes us, is part of the essence of who we are. This isn’t easy and it isn’t always reciprocated, yet, to develop deeper relationships requires our willingness to share a part of us that will warm the spirits of those around us.

How do you share your spirit with other? What warms your spirit? Why?

Every Day is a PD day!
