TWTBIM_0338 Ross' Summer Homework

Teaching With The Body In Mind
About this episode

Ross invites us to reflect on our work. Have we been fun to be around? Are we paying attention to the important things? Have we had any "aha" moments? Mike recalls the time he trusted himself--and the children--to study ants. Tom had a perspective shift about what he was watching for. Joey dropped the no fun cooking projects. Ross will be looking for your essays in the coming weeks.
