I continue to consider how anyone can listen and I hold close to one tenet: to truly listen, means you have stop talking. Our powers of listening are more nuanced than I thought. Thanks for "reading."

Hope this is more of a treat than a trick. Hopefully a point or two to consider, amidst the parent-teacher conference "season."

@RRapier Robert~we are so very sorry to hear this. Sending you the strength to carry on, knowing that there are so many who care deeply for you and your family.
Last night my beautiful daughter passed away following a seizure and heart attack in Hawaii. I was holding her hand at the end. She was a special education teacher here. I have now lost my oldest son and daughter, both pictured, in just 16 months. My heart is shattered.
How often are students asked what they really care about? How often are they provided time to observe their environment and determine problems? What happens if we begin to ask these questions? @mpiercy35#PersonalizedLearningbit.ly/3SGrqtL
