My positive thought for the day:
***We need to encourage openness and bravery!***
So often, this meme is the truth!
Unfortunately, this happens to the best of us. I'm currently in grad school and this still happens to me. Sometimes you don't want to be the person who knows the answer. Sometimes you want to blend in. Sometimes you're unsure of the respond you'll get from the teacher. Sometimes you're even unsure of the response you'll get from classmates.
As teachers, we need to encourage openness and bravery! This will change in our classrooms in countless ways!
I love your post! I saw a similar quote this week from Cynthia Lord: "To be brave, you only need to be a little more brave than you are scared." So true!!
