⭐ The best time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The second best time is now.

2020 reminded us that CHANGE IS HARD.

2021 and 2022 showed us that the only constant thing in life... is CHANGE

2023 continues to be UNPREDICTABLE!

• Look at how a global pandemic or Russia's invasion of Ukraine can change the world.

• You can't Google everything. Chat GPT is changing the way we work!

• Sometimes, bad things happen to good people.

It doesn't matter what you teach:

• homeroom / advisory

• life skills

• guidance or careers

• critical and creative thinking

• English Language Arts

• Any subject-based specialty class

• Social-Emotional Learning

Encourage Social-Emotional Learning and a GROWTH MINDSET by exploring transferable skills that students can apply

• in class,

• at home,

• in relationships, and

• in an ever-changing world.
