  • The Real Object of Education…

    The real object of education is to give children resources that will endure as long as life endures; habits that time will ameliorate, not destroy; occupation that will render sickness tolerable, solitude pleasant, age venerable, life more dignified and useful, and death less terrible. Sydney Smith

  • Define Yourself

    Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

    Robert Frost

  • Stop Questioning?

    "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Albert Einstein
  • A child’s spontaneity

    “We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.”

    Maria Montessori

  • Collaboration

    Collaboration is a gift. We collaborate with others throughout our lives and when we create a really special bond, are always surprised at the richness the encounter can bring. Take advantage of the richness collaboration can bring to your table. Working with others makes any process less stressful. Sharing concerns as well as successes lightens your load!

  • “Make the world a better place”

    "I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place. Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do... Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves. The performance of understanding that try matters are the ones we carry out as human beings in an imperfect world which we can affect for good or for ill." Howard Gardner

  • Feeling Stressed?

  • Coping with stress…

    As educators we seem to be inundated with stress everywhere we look these days. It’s during our most stressful times however, that we can actually make the greatest gains in life.

    Eleanor Roosevelt said, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing, which you think you cannot do."

    How do you cope with classroom stress?

  • This Time

    Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.”
  • Crazy Busy

    Balance is important in our lives. In today’s world we find little time to do much more than work and eek by with everything else.

    Edward Hallowell, M.D. says, “Simplifying your schedule is a matter of living in a way that reflects your life’s natural rhythm.” He authored a book called CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and about to snap: Strategies for coping in a World Gone ADD. His seven strategies for coping with time crunches are -

    1. Don’t multitask
    2. Keep to-do lists short
    3. Delegate
    4. Be positive
    5. Limit interruptions
    6. See organization as a means, not an end
    7. Don’t lose sleep over it

    Hallowell, E. (2006). Stop the Insanity. Psychology Today, 39(5), 37.
