Great Quote For Teachers

I just saw this quote, and it resonates with my teacher heart.  I often feel like this is exactly what we are doing to kids in the "high stakes" testing world that currently calls itself education.

 ‘Everyone is a genuis. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.’

{Albert Einstein }

What are you doing to shine your genius today?  What are you planning so your students can show their genius and not believe they are stupid?

Love This Quote

I just adore this quote! I am so often struck at the heart level by the poetry of Rumi.

I'm trying to apply this quote to my life! It takes a great deal of time, energy, and emotional resources to reorient away from fear and into love. I am learning this! I think this is part of the courageous journey of a Brave Teacher.

Any tips or suggestions?
How do you orient your life and teaching toward love and away from fear?
