8.26.21 EDU_Back to School, Back to the Drawing Board

These days and weeks, all across the world, students and educators are returning to school after the summer.Ideally, to a safe, healthy, in-person learning and teaching environment, having emerged from the pandemic even stronger than before.But what if our reality– as students, teachers, or parents –looks very different from that?More like:Uncertain, scary, messed up, and simply annoying.If you find yourself in one (or all) of these states, here’s what to do:Shift from Know-How to No HowWill the seminars I’m going to lead for Handel Group’s Human Better EDU this fall take place in person, digitally, or in hybrid mode?Will my 12-year old’s school resume in-person teaching,or are we facing more months of homeschooling? Actually, I don’t have the slightest idea,and probably won’t find out until shortly before.Sounds familiar to you? While there’s not much we can do to impact the ever-changing circumstances of a pandemic, how we relate to these circumstances makes all the difference.Whether we choose to react or to respond to what’s going on.Whether we insist on knowing how it’s going to be,or embrace being in a state of “no how”.When I react, it’s usually impulsive,in the moment,and often driven by my negative traits...And that barely ever gives me the results that I want.Responding (vs. reacting), however,requires me to take a step back,think, and act with a higher vision in mind:Who do I want to be?How do I want to show up?Here's where to start...
