Name without the shame

Shame's optional, naming's not.

Try this:

Name a resource gap w/o shame.

Here’s what I mean;

“I really want to know what my math students are getting in real time, but I need whiteboards for them”.

This separates

• what I can control from

• what requires advocacy.

If I need 22 mini-whiteboards, that’s concrete.

Notice what it’s NOT:

1. it’s not thinking, “I should know what my students know”

2. it’s not thinking “Other teachers don’t need this, what’s wrong with me"?”

Here’s the practice:

Name the gap without the shame.

Try this: The 1 gap I’m naming w/o shame is: ______________.

Practice typing it and hit reply. I want to know and you’ll build that naming muscle.

See you in class,
