Angela Maiers Blog

Our job is to either continue to nurture the seeds/people around us or to try to fix the damage that was done. We need to reflect on our actions and how we can make change.

There’s a powerful new post on Seth Godin’s blog with an interesting take on bullying. It is not just a youth issue – it is a human one.

At East Greenwich High School in Rhode Island, Vice Principal Tim Chace created a “You Matter” Form for his school where both teachers and students could fill out the form, letting a co-worker or teacher know that something they did made a difference

The inspiration for the mural came from Angela Maiers’ book, Classroom Habitudes. We brainstormed ideas to use “We Matter” in our room and with our students.

Brighter Days will strive to save the lives being lost by showing people their purpose in life, and that they do matter.

I know that to dream big is to follow in the direction I am being led. I have never looked back and now truly understand what passion and fire feels like as it burns inside of me.

Our capacity to dream, hope, and plan for the future is influenced and impacted by the control and understanding of imagination’s remarkable power

When we create a time and space for our students to strive audaciously and connect and collaborate with others, their genius is liberated, and learning, lives and worlds change.

Each one of our kids by the end of the day had a t-shirt with their genius on the back. Each student hopefully left the day knowing they matter and they can make a difference.

If you can imagine yourself back in that time and place when you felt most READY TO DO ANYTHING, how did it feel? The feeling of self-assuredness, confidence, and all around AWESOMENESS was you being fully present in your GENIUS.
