@mrswendymturner.bsky.social gives a great back-to-school reflection idea for teachers! “Time for a new school year and new intentions! One of my adult SEL practices is deep reflection. Here are 4 questions to ask yourself as you head into the new school year. No wrong answers, just YOUR answers!”

A poster titled "New School Year - New Intentions A.B.C.D." includes four sections with various handwritten notes. Each section presents questions: "What will I attempt?", "What boundaries will I keep?", "How will I be creative?", and "What will I keep doing?" Notes include ideas such as fostering spelling skills, using AI as a teaching tool, practicing situational literacy, and supporting educators. A handwritten message reads, "Have a wonderful year!" followed by a heart.
