Even though I did not have my high school kids yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be with my college kids. As some know, beyond teaching high school English, I also am an adjunct professor at Eastern Washington University where I have taught classroom management in the education department for the past six years. Last night I wrapped up winter quarter with my college kiddos.

I begin each quarter with sharing what I hope they get out of the course, and I end each quarter with what I hope they got out of the course, asking for their feedback. It’s my way of holding myself accountable. Here are two responses.

I really love working with these young aspiring educators. I am grateful to have an opportunity to learn with and from them. They give me hope.

No kiddos again today. Conferences, the few I had, went really well. Hoping to see more parents today.

Happy Tuesday, all.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
