Dr Jody Carrington:
We get tires when we forget just how much we matter
- When we don't get appreciated
- When we don't appreciate others
- When we don't appreciate ourselves

When you do good work you will have bad days

- Hard days will come, rejection, loss, criticisms
- Even the people you love the most might not see how hard you are working
- If you are going to give it away it’s going to get broken
- Vulnerability hangover is a real thing
- Those who love the hardest hurt the hardest
- Trauma lives in the untold stories, the unacknowledged pain.
- Being a good human is hard work
- Just because you dealt with the stressor doesn't mean you've dealt with the stress.
- When we need it the most it's the hardest to do
Emotional exhaustion is the hardest part of burnout so how do we get out of it
- Reconnection : your why, health, hopes, babies, partner, your breath
- Rest: 42% of your day should be spent resting (not all sleeping but breaks and doing
things you love, eating good food, reading a book, relaxing and recharging)
- Joy: different then happiness. Joy is a choice, seek it, belly laugh, dance in your kitchen,
find your kinda funny on the internet and laugh until you cry.
- Gratitude: take practice, think about why the things and people you love are lucky to
have you.

George Couros
- Students should have rich,relevant and authentic experiences at school across the
board. - Shanee bell

we do everyday
- Change is an opportunity to do something amazing - george couros
- Always air on the side of positive.
- Embrace the messiness of learning. Let them discover, be curious and invent.
- Technology can take us all over the place.
- Empower our kids right now

Laurie Mackintosh
- Create : community (one that acts like a community) people who believe and do.
 - Joy build joy in your classrooms with your students by engaging in what interest
them.
- Connection: hardest thing to do when we are in pain. Get creative. Are you breaking or
building attachment.
- Learning a new thing that is not academic about your students
- Recognize people and show them that you appreciate them.
- Courage: choose to rest. Heart work is hard work

Shelly Moore
- We can't tell kids who they are
- We are constantly growing and changing and building on who we are
- So are our students!
- Our learners are all unique
- We need to give them space to discover who they are and to safely identify.
- Learn about your own identity
- Think about who is in your books, conversations on your walls

Jessica and Ronnie

- Choosing who you want at your table is so important in life.
- Not everyday is a happy day but you still put in the hard work
- Reach out to your Community for help and find your purpose
- What you give in a relationship is typically what you get
- Choose the people at your table that will support you in your times of need.

Jessie Thistle
- Struggling with addiction the best thing to tell yourself is I can do the drugs tomorrow
(then when you wake up tomorrow you say tomorrow again)
- I was teaching myself how to be teachable
- Able to be courageous by being honest and doing what he thinks is right.
- Realizing you know nothing forces you to have an open mind
- Use your education to help people instead of hurt people
- Education changed everything in me by allowing me to experience doubt and shame
and to learn to raise above it all
