For the next four or five blog posts I will focus on an article I read in Educational Leadership, a magazine published by ASCD (American Society of Curriculum Developers) about Highly Affective Teachers. The Highly Affective Practices are designed to help teachers examine their individual emotional states and how that interacts with students. Emotional states or wellness of students is a variable in our setting that often doesn't get discussed much. As teachers/support staff we must be able to not only be content experts but experts in helping students deal with multiple life situations. Here is the link to the whole article; http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/oct15/vol73/num02/The-Seven-Habits-of-Highly-Affective-Teachers.aspx.

Here are some questions to consider:
1. Have you ever dismissed feedback from a colleague because you didn't feel it was constructive feedback?
2. What do you pursue that is meaningful outside of the school day/house?
3. Of those items listed as ways to stimulate you intellectually, how you ever done any of them?
