One Word: Grace
As a budding educator, I have discovered that grace is essential for growth within this program and within life. It is important when learning to acknowledge that we are humans and forgiveness to self is just as important as forgiveness to others. Learning can be difficult and with respect to this, we must be thankful for any opportunities we have been given to be reflexive and adaptive.
Emerging into 2021 let us all pair patience with grace. Let us begin this year with a positive outlook and be ready to meet each challenge with patience and grace as we teach and learn within this final practicum. Let go of the things we can’t change and learn from these moments. Allow them to guide you into your next action, holding strong the idea of being reflexive. Let us see each opportunity as a moment of growth and come to this with a clean slate, ready to start fresh every day.
I selected this word as a reminder to always be ready for new learning opportunities and to see the positive in them.
