Calibrate Your Year: Finding the Right Pace for School and Life

Welcome to another episode of "On The Way To School!" As I reflect on the first days of the school year, I keep coming back to the importance of "calibration", adjusting my pace and energy across classrooms, meetings, and responsibilities.

In class today, I checked in with students using a Beyoncé mood meter. In my calendar, I've worked on scheduling strategies that create space for both urgency and pause. In staff meetings and even in the process of moving into a new office, I've been mindful of how we set the tone together.

The key takeaway for me is this: slow down and take stock, pivot when needed, strike a balance between urgency and collaboration, and be cautious not to move too quickly that you burn out or leave others behind.

I hope you enjoy, comment, and share!
