It was great being on the road again presenting to a live audience. I made two presentations this week at the joint National Association of Agricultural Educators/Association for Career and Technical Education Conference in New Orleans. One presentation was “No Regrets: Live Like You Were Dying” and focused on time management and identifying priorities in one’s life. The second presentation was Becoming a “Resilient Teacher: Lessons Learned from the Dust Bowl and Covid-19 Eras.” I described the impact of the Dust Bowl on America and then the teachers had a robust discussion of the impact of Covid-19 on them and their students and schools. We then examined eight practices to enable teachers to become resilient.
