Weekly Inspo Vids - Week Twenty Nine
Hey there, friends!
Happy Saturday, one and all. Here in Oregon, it’s remained pretty cold and rainy, but we had a single flower pop its head out in our front yard. A small reminder that change is just around the corner. I needed that. Maybe you do, too. Keep moving forward. We’ll get there!
I want to give a quick shout-out to Stephanie from Upper Lake, California for this week’s video. It’s a touch longer than average, but it’s worth the time investment. It’s a great reminder that it is indeed possible to achieve true student engagement. And although it relates to math, it’s about so much more.
Also, this week’s Emailable PD is all about empowering kids, specifically through teaching them about mindsets. It can be a real game-changer for students of all ages.
Enjoy!

There’s a lot of pop psychology talk about maintaining a positive attitude. Much of it comes across as cliche at best and counterproductive at worst. But in their book, Turnaround Tools for the Teenage Brain, Eric Jensen and Carole Snider take a look at how understanding the science of attitude can have an incredibly profound impact on students, especially when they realize who really benefits.
