For our 16th Kicking The Copier episode—our continuing series focused on specific mindsets and strategies that can be helpful for teachers and educators—Marcus shared about a ritual that he has come to find considerable value in each year as a teacher—and why he believes finding and leaning into rituals as a teacher can be incredibly affirming and restorative
Three rituals that help keep me grounded in the work I do, and grateful for my students.
☑️ Greeting my students in the morning.
☑️ Our daily walk with student-chosen music.
☑️ Our daily meditation practice after recess.
At the end of my career, it’s these three things I hope students will remember most about my classroom.
