Storytelling has been a fundamental part of our history and personal experiences. Telling stories helps us to shape our understanding of the world, develop empathy, and connect with others. We may not realize the impact of our stories on the livesof others, so that is why we need to be open and willing to share our stories in a way that brings us comfort and builds confidence and that is beneficial to others in search of ideas or reassurance in the work we do as educators. We also need to model the power of story telling for our students. 

Professional learning in all areas of work is essential. Regardless of your line of work, continuing to build and refine your skills is important.

As educators, one of our most important tasks is to continue to build relationships in our classrooms and schools.
