Why Edify: January Update

Here's a quick February Why Edify update.

By the Numbers: This past month:

• 5,300 website visitors
• 1,105 newsletter subscribers (that's you!)
• 102 teachers in The STRONG Teacher's Lounge
• 5 YouTube videos published
• 5 podcast episodes released

What We're Building:

Big news: "The STRONG Year" just launched in the Classroom. This is a month-by-month resource collection following the school year calendar - frameworks, curated resources, templates, and practices for sustainable teaching.

January's module is live right now with mid-year reset practices, Stoic applications for fresh starts, and reflection prompts to reconnect with your purpose.

Inside the paid Classroom, members now have access to:

• The STRONG Teacher Course
• The STRONG Year (January live, more months coming)
• Stoic Teacher Resource
• Thirty-Day Challenges for Teachers

Coming in February: The STRONG Year's February module drops next week, plus another "Let's Lounge" virtual meetup where we connect face-to-face and work through practices together.

Whether you support financially or not, here's this month's free resource: the Curiosity as a Sustainability Practice Companion Guide.

This pairs with my recent podcast episode about why teachers who last decades are still asking questions and experimenting. The guide includes:

• The 3 curiosity practices broken down by grade level
• Specific "I wonder" questions to get you started
• Small experiments you can try this week
• Student curiosity conversation scripts
• Connection to your STRONG Framework
