I really love how you juxtaposed the choices you make in your classroom to put caring at the center with the choices you see schools/public ed make that undermine placing caring at the center. Thank you for introducing me to Nel Nodding's work!
Thanks Adrian, honestly, you have no idea how valuable your work here is for other teachers. I always get inspired when I read about the way you try to be the best teacher you can be. Personally, I have a strong tendency to become negative and very cynical about education in general but your work makes me realize it is worthwhile to keep trying and makes me realize again what is really important in my work as a teacher. I hope you will keep writing and inspiring others.
Teaching post-pandemic, it is easy to get cynical. I try to stay positive and hopeful without succumbing to toxic positivity. Whenever I’m feeling low about the state of public education, my students usually give me a reason to be hopeful. I’m glad you enjoyed this piece! Thanks for your kind reply.
What a teacher you are and what a caring classroom you’ve cultivated! 💕
Love this--and thanks for the video resources!
