Commitments: what are the core values that bring us to this work?
The pull of daily urgencies takes us away from our core values.
Connect myself ethically and morally
Time to breathe, reflect and find joy
To well-being, and growth of students
Students-yes, but also to adults
Ongoing learner-grow and open mind
Create and sustain connection
Every student understood and valued as learner and person
Compassionate school
Children feel known, understood and cared about
Authentic relationships
Stewardship of the school
To do what’s right for kids
Increase willingness to take risks
Enter relationships with spirit of dialogue
Cultivate a culture of curiosity, hard work, compassion and respect from bottom to top: students, teachers, admin, parents
Supporting work of teachers with dignity, praise, time, money and honest feedback
Learn “Working with” rather than “telling.”
All children should be respected and loved
Encourage meaningful learning for students and colleagues-> value their contributions.
Challenge from Fran: what can you do to come from the place of your core values to deal with the annoying person who is always taking up your time? The person you feel least compassion for is the person you should draw on your core values for?
