Happy New Year!
I hope this reaches each of you enjoying the first few moments of 2021. For the past few years have challenged myself to make lists to start the new year:
- 20’20’ Questions That Will Enhance Your Life and Leadership. #UnConLeader
- 20’19’ Ways to Elevate Your Leadership This Year
- 20’18’ Ways to Start The New Year.
- 20 ’17’ Ways to Create a Positive Classroom Environment-*hint it starts with the adults as learners*.
- 20 ’16’ Ways to Create a Positive Classroom in the New Year.
This year the list is based off a year of learning how to become more resilient and restful during times of stress. I have included additional resources that have helped cultivate this list and books that might help you on this journey as well.
I hope you take the time to engage in a few of these ideas everyday and as always-if you need anything I am here.
