Did I Really Just Post 200 Times?-#BLOG365 Day 200

April 20, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

  I could get bogged down in the fact that I am still behind on #BLOG365. I could count the days I am actually behind (I really don't know). I could beat myself up about the days I missed and the posts that weren't as good as they could be. But, I am not. I … Continue reading Did I Really Just Post 200 Times?-#BLOG365 Day 200

Thank You! -#BLOG365 Day 199

April 19, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

To all those teachers out there. Today as I chatted with some teacher colleagues I relayed a story of an interview question I was recently asked. If you could go back to teaching, what kind of teacher would you be now? I have considered this question a lot. Over the years I have learned a … Continue reading Thank You! -#BLOG365 Day 199

Middle School is Not Too Old for Bedtime Stories -#BLOG365 Day 198

April 19, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

Last night as I tucked my son in to bed, I told him I missed the days of bedtime stories. (Honestly, the conversation started with us wishing for simpler days without homework, but I digress). And then my son said, "I'm not too old for bedtime stories." Inside my heart did somersaults. I was so … Continue reading Middle School is Not Too Old for Bedtime Stories -#BLOG365 Day 198

Museum Monday: The World is a Museum-#BLOG365 Day 197

April 17, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

The World is a Museum This has been my catch phrase over the last few years. I wholeheartedly believe it. Over the weekend I was looking for some photos of museum "stuff" to write about and I found all kinds of photos of regular objects that reminded me the world is the museum. In a … Continue reading Museum Monday: The World is a Museum-#BLOG365 Day 197

Listening to Your Gut-#BLOG365 Day 196

April 16, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

I am usually pretty good about listening to my gut. Growing up a writer and studying creative writing all through college you develop a talent for seeing and noticing small things. Words, actions, voice inflection, the unsaid. Sometimes you may over analyze. Sometimes you file those small things away. Sometimes you notice what others don't … Continue reading Listening to Your Gut-#BLOG365 Day 196

Start Right Now #satchat Highlights – #BLOG365 Day 195

April 15, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

On Saturday morning you will usually find me at yoga. Hot yoga, to be precise. Sweating my week away. But, this morning, with family in town, I wasn't able to get away so I climbed out of bed early to join #satchat. #satchat is one of my favorite Twitter chats and today's topic was the … Continue reading Start Right Now #satchat Highlights – #BLOG365 Day 195

Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket – #BLOG365 Day 194

April 14, 2017April 14, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

I am guilty of putting all my delicate eggs in one basket over the last few years. It's definitely out of character for me and my family. We spent 15 years in the same home and took a leap of faith moving our family to another part of the state for an easier life. The … Continue reading Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket – #BLOG365 Day 194

Be Together, Not the Same-#BLOG365 Day 193 #IMMOOC

April 14, 2017April 14, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLhJIFC8xkY   I love the message of this video from Android and I think it has important implications for us as educators, both in the classroom and in our practice as part of a school community. There is beauty in diversity. Which piano do you want your school to be?

Is It Worth It? -#BLOG365 Day 192

April 13, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

  Lately I have been seeing a lot of blog posts that leave me scratching my head thinking "I could have written that!" Posts with topics that I have reflected on or discussed with colleagues. Topics I figured didn't need to be written about because they were already on people's minds. What I might consider … Continue reading Is It Worth It? -#BLOG365 Day 192

Empathetic Educational Leaders- #BLOG365 Day 191

April 12, 2017 / Jill Cross / Leave a comment

Last night while talking a teacher friend through a difficult professional experience I was reminded of a post by Dr. Neil Gupta, "How Do You Feel?" In it he speaks about the importance of asking how we want employees to feel and the importance of ensuring employees feel safe, value, and secured. I don't think … Continue reading Empathetic Educational Leaders- #BLOG365 Day 191
