Monday Musings - Monday, February 2, 2015

We can look at the SmarterBalance/Badger Exam as a stressor in our lives OR we can look at it as an opportunity to strengthen our universal instruction.

We can look at some of our students and say "they can't" OR we can look at those students and say "they will" and find a new way to reach them.  

We can look at our colleagues and find their faults OR we can discover ways to share our strengths and make everyone around us stronger in the process.   

We can worry about how far we still have to go OR we can look at the exceptional things that go on at Dodgeland each day, and build on those positives.  

I am always impressed with the work that you are doing each and every day for our students. I also know that, at times, our work can be daunting, especially with new stressors being added each year. But I continue to be amazed at your commitment to our students and believing that all children can succeed.
