What you say matters. Words matter. If you are an educator, particularly a special educator, you are highly susceptible to litigation. Most lawsuits are due to lack of procedural compliances, however, emails serve as documentation for court. Choose your words carefully. If you are not sure about the language in a parent email, have a colleague or supervisor proofread it.

Oh yes - when we lead by example, it has so much more impact! Never is this more true than in a teaching environment. When we lead with kindness, children show kindness. When we demonstrate humility, children do too. Sometimes it's hard and we all have bad days. No-one is perfect. But if you strive to be the best version of you, then that's what you pass on to others. 😊 That's also when you find you can smile at the end of the day, knowing that you tried your best. When did you lead by example? What was the outcome? #internationaltutor #leadershipskills #tutoring #kindness

From a DPOs perspective, this is such great advice!

actions speak louder than words...

Everything on social media is legal.

So thoughtful and deep

Unique and beautiful in its own way

Great message for parents, teachers, mentors; and in aim to monitor, manage, evaluate all the content they are allowed to intake themselves included. As my studies have shown me that I am now sharing— your subconscious minds absorb so much knowledge through all of your senses that is later shown in your own actions and thoughts. While unconsciously shaping a different you that is later embedded into those whom you are teaching by example. We can’t blame and let our students just grow on their own; in hope alone that will they make the right choices, as they are led by their own learnings from those around them and the media they take in. And again yourselves included, use the internet more wisely and begin to start content filtering what you intake. Yourselves included. Please and thank you. I care deeply about the future generations we’re leaving a legacy for. They’re now turning to media and their own peers to mold themselves as they’re moving further and further from the influence of their teachers with the coming age of Ai. Parenting will become more crucial. Ps. You are all students regardless of willingly trying to continue to learn. You learn everyday, it’s inevitable. ~The Bear #sociology #humanitarian #philosophy #designer #stewardship
