Clear Values, Easy Decisions
Discover how clarifying your core teaching values can bring calm and clarity to your daily decisions. This week’s Strong Teacher newsletter offers inspiration, a practical reflection strategy, and an empowering affirmation to help you stay grounded in what matters most.
Here’s your midweek boost - a quote, a resource, and an affirmation to power you through the rest of the week.
Quote
"When values are clear, decisions are easy." — Roy E. Disney
Resource
One of the most empowering things a teacher can do is clarify their personal and professional values at the start of a school year—or even midstream. Take ten minutes this week to write down your top three teaching values (e.g., compassion, equity, curiosity). Then, post them somewhere visible—on your desk, planner, or phone background.
Use these as a compass when navigating tricky decisions, classroom management choices, or curriculum planning. When you're anchored in what truly matters, the noise quiets and the path becomes clearer.
Now Repeat…
I am grounded in my values. They guide my choices, protect my energy, and help me teach with clarity and courage.
