Writing

Think about a moment in your teaching when you realized you didn’t have the preparation, resources, or support you needed.  Show us this moment, help us see your lack of preparation and resources and the impact it had on you in that moment.  Help us see you navigating this space, asking for support, or not.  Show us using sensory details to help us see, touch, taste, smell the images you are trying to convey.

Think about a moment in your teaching practice where you felt a student was unseen.  Or recall a time when you intentionally helped a student feel seen, valued, or connected. Help us see what you noticed about the student before and after that moment? Describe this moment and the student and show us how you navigated this.  Show us using sensory details to help us see, touch, taste, smell the images you are trying to convey.

Think of a time when you had to help a student or colleague navigate trauma.  Show us how that experience manifested in your classroom. Help us see their behavior, emotions, and engagement (or lack thereof) in the educational space ? Show us using sensory details to help us see, touch, taste, smell the images you are trying to convey.
