I love facilitating workshops because I like challenging paradigms around how educators\u00a0think (which is the same reason I love attending workshops \u2013 to challenge my own thinking!).\u00a0 If educators can begin to see things in different ways, then the field becomes more aware, diverse, and gain insight (W. Edward Deming\u2019s \u201cprofound knowledge\u201d) to create more possibilities for today\u2019s children and youth.<\/p>\r\n

My favorite \u201cChoose Love\u201d lessons are the ones from the start of the program where we introduce the idea that we get to choose our thoughts and, really, have agency over who we\u2019re being in any given moment, and how that affects how our lives progress.\u00a0 I wish someone had taught me that when I was young.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really \u201cget\u201d this idea until I was out of college for a year.<\/p>\r\n

My best tip for educators:\u00a0children and youth are people.\u00a0 Do not homogenize them \u2013 each is a unique light to the world and deserve to be treated with respect, understanding, and appreciation.\u00a0 Once you start seeing children and youth this way, your way of being shifts, affinity is created, and deep learning begins.<\/p>\r\n

Lately, I\u2019ve really been doing a personal deep-dive on the concept of courage. In the past, I have been very un-courageous in my personal life because of how I was raised.\u00a0 The Choose Love ingredient of courage seems to be the easiest for most people to embody, but it is definitely the one I work at the most. Each day, I silently, if only for a few moments, ponder the idea that the parents of the children I work with have placed enormous trust in me, and I am humbled and remember that how I show up for these students daily is the most important thing that I can do.<\/p>\r\n

Fun Fact: I am a musician and have recorded a children\u2019s album that kids, even 20 years later, enjoy (and parents don\u2019t want to run away screaming from!)\u2026 it\u2019s called \u201cCat\u2019s Pajamas\u201d and can be streamed at https:\/\/rickrood.bandcamp.com\/album\/cats-pajamas<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n
