Linda Lantieri, Director of the Inner Resilience Program, encouraged us to keep compassion front and center for ourselves and our students, to teach from a place of balance, and as Gandhi said, to "be the change we wish to see in the world."
She urged us to align our practice in school with our families' practices at home.
Taking Linda's - and Gandhi's - advice, try to take time as a family for naming what you are grateful for, for breathing quietly to calm the emotions, and for paying attention to those things that touch your heart.
My gratitude list certainly includes Robert C. Parker School, our caring team of faculty and staff, our dedicated families, and most of all, our delightful students.
