Show Notes

In this episode, Lynn joins us for a deep conversation about the bigger picture lessons of life and how we learn from them, share them and teach them to others, especially our students. After studying and experiencing different ancient wisdom traditions of indigenous cultures around the world, Lynn realized how important and effective they were to her own self-care, sanity and survival as well as to the well-being of the classroom culture. Tapping into basic human nature, Lynn was able to establish best practices and daily routines that removed roadblocks to problems and helped establish a clear and supported path forward. There is a lot of talk these days about teacher self-care and social-emotional learning as if they were something new that have come about as a result of the pandemic. However, as you will learn from Lynn’s story and teaching journey, understanding the roles of human nature and Mother Nature have always been critical and essential to learning, growing and evolving into the best versions of ourselves to show up in this world. We need to gift this ancient wisdom and incorporate these best practices into our daily lives, both in and out of the classroom. We must do this for ourselves and for our students and for the well-being and healing of our profession. Listen to this wisdom, take notes and incorporate these best practices into your life’s lesson plans! Then, observe and celebrate how much your life and the lives of others is transformed!
