A3 Yes. It happens. Reflection on how we got here. What can I do differently? Acknowledge my contribution. Make sure to advocate for my needs better/set better boundaries in the future (for others of myself). It’s humbling, but inevitably leads to growth. #tlap

A2 One of my Ss rapped in class. I asked if he would write a song for our drumline. We geared up, brought him to the front + said “what beat are you hearing in your head?” Timid at 1st, he grew to take the reins of the class, showed up early, led his peers. Beautiful shift! (Great piece!) 🥁

A1: When a person is responsible for something, they have the power to shape it how they see fit. It is vital to consider those in our charge (Ss or adults) when making decisions that impact them. We must consider individual needs within our groups. #TLAP
