What makes you happy?

Hi there,

Welcome to this week’s newsletter. I want to explore the first of my four big questions.  What makes you happy?

Honestly. Have a think about it.

It took me a long time to figure this out. I had to intentionally slow down and filter through the noise; the expectations of others and the things that I’ve been told would make me happy.

After much soul-searching, I have discovered that it’s truly the simple things in life that bring me the greatest joy.

  • A long uninterrupted lunch with my wife.
  • Reading a book to my two little girls and giving them big cuddles for (just 5 more minutes!) before bedtime.
  • Laughing over a meal at our big dining table with our oldest friends
  • Seeing a project I’ve worked hard on succeed.
  • Starting my day with a long run.
  • Watching my students fully engage with the lesson in my classroom.
  • Helping someone, a friend, acquaintance or stranger, in a meaningful way.

What about you?

Maybe you have not asked this question in a long time? Maybe you’ve never asked this question?!

One thing that I know is that we all deserve to be happy. No matter how busy or hectic life may be, taking the time to ask yourself this question will help you prioritise some things. You deserve to do more of the things that make you happy! Not just for your own sake, but for the people you love and for your students.

So take this moment to stop and think. Switch off your phone, close your computer and think back to the things you did today, this week or this month that made you smile or laugh or forget the stress of everyday life. Now go and do more of THAT!

I wish you well on your happiness journey.

Cheering you on,

Mathew

Big questions for 2021

I don’t know about you but I have never worked so hard, cried so much and felt so challenged professionally as I have in 2020. I have also never felt more in awe of the teaching profession. And from my chats with parents and carers who homeschooled for the first time during lockdowns, I know I’m not the only one!

I watched as millions of teachers, across the globe, abruptly transitioned their classrooms from face-to-face to online learning within days. You have put on a brave face for your parents and students, You have found creative ways to engage your students and you have valued them whether in-person or virtually.

Despite its challenges, 2020 has impressed upon me the strength and resilience of the human spirit and the immeasurable value of the men and women who educate the future generations. I have never been prouder to count myself as one of this community.

MY 2020 WAS WILD

Last year was a significant one for me personally. With the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, my wife and I adjusted to having TWO kids under 3-years-old. We also had a family member go through a life-altering medical emergency – the repercussions of which we are still walking out. Navigating these new challenges has stretched me mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically! Honestly, without the support of my amazing wife, my steadfast friends, incredible mentors and my teacher community, I don’t know where I’d be on this side of 2021.

My experience and our collective experience of 2020 has caused me to think deeply about what REALLY matters. Though I’ve not written many articles (I promise to get better at this)I have thought about and talked about you (fellow teachers and loyal readers) a lot.

BIG QUESTIONS

How have you coped with the rapid changes and new challenges of our profession? How have you adapted and grown? In what ways have you struggled? How close have you got the end of yourself and have you found your way back just yet? Are you happy? Are your relationships in tack? Are you well? Is it well with your soul?

These are big questions! What better time to check in with yourself than the beginning of a new year. This is what I’m asking myself and trust me, there’s much more learning and work to be done!

WILL YOU COME ON THE JOURNEY WITH ME?

Many of you subscribed to this newsletter as new teachers or because we connected in person or on another platform. I started I’m a New Teacher because I was sick of seeing so many brilliant, talented new teachers burn out and leave the profession. That hasn’t changed. I’m all too aware, however, that the complexities of life and our profession only increase with time and experience.

To continue our conversation about teaching and living, I’m launching a NEW Podcast, The Art of Teaching with an interview with award-winning speaker, bestselling author and world-renowned thinker, Richard Gerver. The longer I work as an educator and the more people I talk to about our profession I cannot shake the conviction that we as teachers should be the most vibrant and passionate people on the planet. We are tasked with the enormous responsibility of inspiring generations of world changers! We need to be the best at what we do and I’ve learned that this does not mean just working harder. We’ve all tried that and it just does not work.

It starts with you, the teacher. So allow me to reframe my questions above…
What makes you happy?
How can you cultivate flourishing relationships?
What does your body need to thrive?
What nourishes your soul?
I hope you will come on the journey with me to explore these questions and more! I have already recorded a number of interviews with fascinating guests and I have many more to come as I explore this new way of connecting, sharing and learning together!

I know that your inbox is most likely full of all sorts of emails and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this one. This mode of communication will become more and more important as I share with you what I’m learning and continue the conversation.

And finally, I’d love to hear from you. Write to me with your experiences, your stories and your thoughts on these big questions.

Cheering you on,
Mathew

COVID-19 and the great reset.

This is undoubtedly a period of immense uncertainty and change for us all. The global pandemic, that is COVID-19, has impacted so many lives across the globe and seen countless people lose loved ones. It is so difficult to quantify the impact of such a horrific crisis. It has crippled industries, redefined how we connect with each other and uprooted so much of our lives. As I type this our southern teaching colleagues in Victoria have returned to online learning as outbreaks of the virus continue to spike.

As we, at least for now, begin to emerge from the Australia wide lock down, as cafes, supermarkets, parks and schools begin to see more of us returning to  workplaces we are left with a feeling of “what now?” Will the world ever be back to how it once was or do we find ourselves in a place of having to redefine our new normal? At least for me, in the industry that I am so proud to be a part of, education, it seems that the latter is the case. We now find ourselves in a place that so different to where we were.

As educators, COVID-19 has caused us to go back to the basics of what we do. For me, as an optimistic “glass half full” kind of guy, it has caused us to reset and ask some fundamental questions.

  1. How can we connect more authentically with our students? 
  2. What are the essential roles of schools? 
  3. How can we find innovative ways to engage all of our learners? 
  4. How can we build and enhance productive connections with our parent community?
  5. How do we lead and build staff capacity? 
  6. What are some of the things that we need to keep, change or stop doing?

I wonder how the year 2020 will be remembered? I wonder if it will a period in history that we look back on with regret and change nothing, or will it be a time in education that we remember how much we connected in new ways with our school communities. I am optimistic that it will be the latter.

Teacher apathy

This week I have the privilege to introduce you all to the work of Aziza Green. She is my wife and edits many of the articles and content for I’m a New Teacher and runs a blog called One Thousand Lights. She is not a teacher, but when she wrote this article on Declaring war on the Greatest Evil on Earth I thought that it needed to be read by teachers. Apathy in any profession is dangerous, and no profession has more at stake than teaching. Enjoy..

Well it’s about damn time someone called it out. No it’s not hatred, war or hollywood. It’s far more subtle and pandemic.

It dulls the eyes.
It eats  joy for breakfast.
It causes good people to do nothing good.
It saps courage.
It breeds selfishness.
Ultimately, it’s goal is to kill your soul.

It’s name is apathy.

No-one wants to live like this, but it’s so easy to fall into and so hard to get out. How does it latch onto us? Fatigue? Busyness? Lack of purpose? We start to feel weary, bored, stuck, sick. A hopelessness sets in and then we flat line, for weeks, months, YEARS.

I’m all for declaring war (especially when the enemy is the Greatest Evil on Earth), and I’m a bit of a “go in guns blazing” kind of girl – however, apathy is one of those tricky buggers that we have to be a little smarter with. I used to think I could fight apathy in myself with sheer determination and focus. That if I pushed harder, things would be better. But there’s one problem with this, who the heck wants to pick a fight when they’re feeling apathetic?

Unfortunately, it does take some kind of desire for more from life. If you don’t have that desire, I’m sorry, but I don’t think there are enough self-help books in the world to help you manufacture it. You either want more for yourself or you don’t.

If you have a little bit of desire, a little bit of hunger for more, I think a great place to start is to imagine what life could be like without apathy. I mean, imagine it, having a sparkle in your eye, a bright outlook, a willingness and the energy to do something truly great. What would that feel like? Cultivating a strong sense of purpose and determination in ourselves sounds like hard work, but what if it wasn’t hard? What if it was easy for you? What if you did more than just the minimum requirement, what if the work you did made you feel good about yourself?

You may not realise it, but you’re already taking a little bit of ground by just entertaining the thought that things could be better. When I think outside of what I’m feeling, I start to realise that apathy was not actually a part of me. It sits on me, making a meal of my despondency, but it is not actually in me. I don’t have to stay flat. I don’t have to stay down. And that’s when I realise I have what it takes to haul ass and kick ass. What I’m saying is, when you let your thinking rise above a feeling, you learn that you are in control –  and that my dear dear people is where the power is. (Boomtown baby!)

In a war there are many tactics used to take ground. Every battle is different and you win some, you lose some. When fighting the Greatest Evil on Earth, it’s important to remember that it will take time and practise to win and keep ground. Don’t beat yourself up if you fall down. Keep dreaming even if your dreams are mere shadows of what they used to be or could be. Keep rested and healthy – sounds simple, but apathy strikes when our defences are down. Keep taking steps forward, because the next one could be a breakthrough.

“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.” – Sun Tzu

The empathic learning environment: Sit where they sit

Today’s guest post comes from a truly inspirational educator, Anne Knock. Here is a little introduction to Anne:

For more than three decades I have worked in education and development. Commencing as a primary school teacher, I then moved into leading community development programs, school system administration and growing a school-based innovation centre in Sydney.

Here is her latest article, that originally appeared here:

We often say that empathy is like walking in another’s shoes or seeing the world through their eyes. But what about sitting in their seat?

Empathy is considering another’s perspective on a situation. We can view this from an emotional or cognitive perspective, but what if we thought about it from a physical space paradigm? I walked into a meeting with a couple of architects at their city offices this week. It was our second catch up about the project we are working on. As we sat, one said, “We are all sitting in the same spot”. It’s true, as humans we just seem to gravitate to sit in the same place, unless we consciously choose not to.

Scrolling through my Instagram stories, inspiring educator Matt @imanewteacher shared this pic. I thought about how simple, yet powerful it is. Whether a primary teacher, where you remain in the same space, or a secondary teacher who moves around:

What do your students see and experience in your classes? 

What is their physical perspective?

In Australia, and other parts of the Southern Hemisphere thousands of teachers are gearing up for the school year. Many are thinking about the learning space, the furniture configurations and even how students will move. Do you actually sit in the seats and look, listen and consider the perspective?

Sit in that seat, and that stool, and that sofa…

In a moment of quiet and calm, let’s face it, not so much of that once school starts, sit in their seats, see the space from their perspective. This is not just about ‘can they see the screen/whiteboard?’ but more about ‘Why do they choose to sit here?’

What can you see?

What’s the view from the window?

How many people are nearby?

Take time from the functionality perspective of classroom/learning space layout, to seeing from an empathic perspective. Imagining what a student might be learning, seeing, thinking and doing from that particular place.

Empathy is as much about sitting in their seat, or standing at their stand up desk, or lounging on the sofa, as it is about the emotional and cognitive perspective.

Take a moment, while you can.

How to re-engineer your morning routine.

I had been trying for year, sometimes successfully and other times not so much, to become more of a morning person. I live in a beautiful part of the world, with lots of peace and quiet, and a short walk from the beach – I really have no excuse to not enjoy the morning! Mornings to me represent starting well. If I start the day well, eat a nutritious breakfast and have some time to myself, then the rest of the day tends to flow quite nicely.

I noticed the importance of my morning ritual, when I first started in my teaching career. For many years, I would go to bed late (due to marking), get up early and skip breakfast. By the time I arrived at school, I was rushed, unprepared, hungry and caffeine overloaded. I hadn’t even started the day and I’d be feeling stressed and desperate for a break.

It wasn’t until recently that I began to seriously look at and approach my morning routine strategically. One morning, when I was tired of being tired, I decide to write down everything that I did that morning.

My aim was to see where my time was being spent and what I could do better. This exercise was confronting and immediately highlighted areas that I could improve on.

Below are a few suggestions (in no particular order) of how I re-engineered my morning schedule:

Each morning I try to have time to myself, to think and reflect about the day ahead of me. It’s a great way to push pause and clear your mind of the clutter and stress buzzing around in there.

Each morning I try to exercise (either got to the gym or go for a walk). It helps me to focus and feel energised for the coming day.

Each morning I try to eat a wholesome and nutritious breakfast. Proper nutrition helps to keep you focused until recess. I tend not to eat breakfast at home because I leave quite early in the morning. Instead I keep a bag of oats at school.

Each morning I try to plan and prepare for the next day. Things in school change quickly; someone is sick, the photocopier breaks, or a myriad of other tings can happen. By planning ahead I can have contingency plans and remain flexible if I need to.

Starting the day feeling refreshed, well nourished and focused can have great positive effects on your teaching day. Remember if you don’t look after yourself you will not bring your best into the classroom.

Even if you’re a night owl, you can still benefit from doing mornings well. Your morning ritual can change your whole day, if you get a little deliberate about it.

Digital Decluttering for the chronically distracted

This article originally appeared here.

My brain has too many tabs open!

Lest you mistake me for some kind of magical decluttering unicorn, I feel it necessary to expose the ugly truth about my digital life.

I am a digital, media and information addict. I took stock last month and I had folders full of the beginnings of blog posts. My Evernote was overflowing clippings. I was working on my Google calendar + my hardcopy calendars + my day planner – let’s just say they were not synced. (Sorry if I missed our brunch or if you copped an eyeful of my unshaven ankles!)

I had three and a half overwhelming inboxes (don’t ask) and about 20-35 (I didn’t count) tabs open across several web browsers. My desktop was intense and I got a little carried away and downloaded about 15 unnecessary apps on my iPhone last month – damn you Apple App Store you sexy timesuck and promiser of productive tools!

I’m not proud of it, but this is my life and yeah it’s been a little overwhelming! I share this all with you because I know for a fact that most of you experience the same thing. It’s called being a business owner in the 21stCentury.

The new human condition

When you’re running a business just about everything feels like a priority. You need to keep existing clients happy while prospecting for new clients. You have to come up with fresh content for your blog, your website needs updating, your social media channels are lacklustre and you haven’t engaged in meaningful ways with anyone.

Maybe you’re like me and sometimes you want to give it all up. But the technology and the information is not the enemy. These are beautiful, powerful tools designed to make our lives easier, better. Our problem is a lack of discipline and systems. We have to learn to live in the digital space with intention and purpose.

Today, I’m not speaking to you as your guru or digital spirit guide in this subject. I’m speaking as one for whom #thestruggleisreal. One who is still trying to hack the tension between productivity and distraction-free digital engagement.

How digital clutter affects our brains

So it’s time to get honest about our digital lives. Are you living with digital clutter that is slowly stripping you of any semblance of sanity that you have?

A study by the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute into the impact of physical clutter shows that our ability to focus is restricted when our spaces are cluttered. Clutter is not only distracting, but it makes it difficult to assimilate information.*

Being distractible is a trait of creative personality types, but being constantly distracted is exhausting and devastating to productivity.

Digital clutter is even more pervasive than physical clutter, we are almost blind to it, until we get stuck in a wormhole of files or blog posts or social media for several hours. Your computer, your phone, your devices are your workstations, and these need as much attention as your physical environment.

The Princeton research shows that you will be less irritable, more productive, distracted less often, and able to process information better when your spaces are uncluttered and organised.

The places we hoard digital clutter

decluttering project woman at computer with clutter

There are FOUR key areas of our digital lives that tend to become hoarders’ dens.

Your personal computer – Of course. The desktop is covered with docs, downloads, photos, screen grabs and the icons of all your fave programs. Your folder hierarchies make no sense – or you’re like folder hierarchies??!! LOL!!! [insert cryface]

Do I need to bring up your email inbox? I knew a woman who had 10,000+ emails in her inbox. Just… No. That makes my fingernails hurt. I can’t.

Social Media – I get it. You’re grinding, building your business and you need to get your brand out there. But maybe you were a little zealous with the volume of social channels you signed up to and then did nothing with? Also are you following TOO MANY people but connecting with no one?

Phone – Arguably the greatest tool for productivity and procrastination in our lives. Our phones have become an extension of ourselves. It makes sense that the chaos of our minds finds the greatest expression in our most intimate device.

Subscriptions – Subscription-based services have become a core part of this brave new world. From digital storage to entertainment, from business networks to education and training – we’re all racking up subscriptions like they’re striped casual T-shirts. It’s easy for these $5/$10/$20/$40 per month subscriptions to tick away in the background without our even noticing it.

Taking stock of your subscriptions and making decisions as to whether you really need them is a great way to make space and save some money too.

How to start you digital declutter

Before you tackle the clutter. Make one promise to yourself… I WILL LET GO OF THIS SUPERFLUOUS CRAP!

Now you have a big life, I get that. The Atomic Bomb Strategy of a digital purge would be amazing – few days of intense deleting, prioritising, organising and TA DA! If you don’t have that kind of time, you may want to work with a One Bite At a Time Strategy.

Whichever way you do it, the key is to commit to continuous improvement. You can tidy as you go, and/ or schedule the labour into a 1 or 2 hour project every month.

I created my Monthly Digital Declutter printable to stay top of the clutter and stay accountable to myself.

Digital Declutter Checklist

 

Decluttering projects get you started:

  1. Your documents
    • Delete old or unnecessary documents
    • Refresh your document folder system and sort docs accordingly
    • Archive anything that you don’t need on hand
    • Remove as many icons from your desktop as possible. I have two folders on there, one called Reference and one called To read. Be ruthless.
    • Close all the browser tabs
    • Empty your trash can
  1. Tame your inbox
    • Action, sort, delete emails in your inbox. Aim for Inbox Zero at the end of every week or month.
    • Cull unhelpful email subscriptions
  2. Social media
    • Unfriend/unfollow/cull
  3. Software
    • Uninstall unused software, apps
    • If you have updates pending, update them already
  4. Photos
    • Update photo folders
    • Delete unusable photos
  5. Phone
    • Delete unusable and backed up photos
    • Delete unused Apps
    • Switch off all notifications
    • Close all the browser tabs
  6. Subscriptions
    • Take inventory of your paid subscriptions
    • Unsubscribe to anything that you don’t use
  1. Digital goal setting
    • Set 3 or 4 digital goals to curb or bring awareness to your digital consumption.
    • One of my weekly goals is to reset to zero – email, web browsers, smart phone web browsers, desktop. I want to treat it like a meditation to finish every week.

I created my Digital Declutter printable to stay on top of my own digital madness. If you want to join me in taming your clutter, sign up, download it for free – and let me know how you go!

Nurturing your students’ emotional development. 

Teachers have a lot on their plates! Satisfying the rigours of curriculum and balancing the complexities (or chaos) of the school and classroom environments is vital to our jobs. It’s important, however, that we acknowledge the significance and influence of our role in society.

Every day we have the opportunity to guide, support, lead and shape the behaviour and development of children and teens. We can use this opportunity to nurture the emotional development of young people, giving them tools to live productive and satisfying lives in an often complicated and stressful world.  

An individual’s emotional Intelligence, or lack thereof, can have a huge impact on their work life, relationships, success and happiness. Our emotional intelligence included our ability to: exercising self-awareness, manage our emotions, motivate ourselves and others, empathise with others, and build and maintain meaningful relationships.

As teachers, we talk a lot about student development. There is curriculum to align, outcomes to match and work samples to analyse. Summative assessment, that is the evaluation of learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing to a standard or benchmark, can be relatively straightforward. You have a piece of ‘evidence’ and you see if it shows that students are proficient in a  particular skill.

Formative assessment on the other hand can be slightly more troublesome. In this case, the assessment process is conducted during the learning process so that the teaching can be modified accordingly to improve student learning outcomes. Now, let’s take it a step further, into even more challenging and difficult terrain, that of emotional development.

In short, emotional development:

Involves learning what feelings and emotions are, understanding how and why they happen, recognising one’s own feelings and those of others, and developing effective ways of managing them. Kids Matter

How do we assess our students’ emotional development so that we can support them more thoroughly in class?

Develop your students’ sense of self

It is crucial that students develop an accurate sense of self. Allow students to develop an understanding of their individuality and a healthy perspective of their unique contribution to the world.

Provide opportunities for them to talk about their emotions

Giving students opportunities to communicate how they are feeling is fundamental to a child’s emotional development. You could consider using a colour scheme in your class and students could point to the colour or emotion that they are feeling.

Give them strategies to manage their emotions

Students must be given opportunities to manage their own emotions. Some strategies include giving students a relaxing area in your classroom in which they can pause and reflect on how they are feeling.

Teachers have the opportunities to make a difference in a young person’s life every day! Nurturing of emotional development in our students can help them to develop into productive citizens, parents, employees. leaders and more. You may have the privilege of teaching  thousands of students in your lifetime, paying attention to this area of development will help to equip to understand and navigate the bright and complex future they face. 

For more resources about emotional development, I highly recommend the Kids Matter website.

The joy of learning something new everyday.

My wife and I are HUGE nerds. We love reading, discovering new things and discussing ideas. We have more books (both physical, electronic and audio ones) than we will every read in a lifetime. Our evenings are often spent sharing the latest news or information we’ve picked up or the newest productivity hacks we want to try out. We love outlining the premise of articles or books that have challenged or inspired us.

We often laugh at how intense and exhilarating our “nerd chats” can get! We’re learners and it’s probably why we’re so compatible despite being polar opposites in every other personality trait!

I’ve found that most passionate teachers are first passionate learners! They actually enjoy learning with their students, which is why their classes are always the most fun to be a part of. They view the world as a wonderfully complex and multifaceted place, they find opportunities to learn in every experience.

If you want to create an engaging environment that encourages your students to learn, you need to stoke the flames of your learner spirit. Here’s how:

Start fresh each day.

Each day is new beginning, a fresh start which presents a myriad of opportunities. Try to approach each day with fresh anticipation. Think from the perspective of a student. The day is filled with interesting things, sometimes you just have listen and open your eyes.

Keep an open mind

Being open-minded means that you enter into conversations and interactions as one who doesn’t know-it-all! Instead, think of yourself as a learner; one who is always trying to ask more questions rather than trying to dish out all the answers. When you enter a conversation from a position of humility you’ll find that you do in fact learn something new. You don’t have to agree with everything you learn, but you can be grateful for the information as it may help you somewhere down the track!

Listening attentively to others 

Active listening is hard, very hard. It’s hard to maintain focus on the person and not think about all the other places you have to be. The hardest part is to listen to someone without formulating a response or rebuttal to his or her comment.  As challenging as it is, active listening is essential when working with students and colleagues. Next time you find yourself in a conversation, whether with a student, a fellow teacher or a supervisor, instead of trying to get your opinion across why not practice asking more questions to ensure you understand what they are trying to communicate.

Make time for personal reflection

This year I wanted to focus on reflecting on what happens in my day-to-day life. This has meant developing a daily journaling habit. To help with this, I started using the journaling software DayOne. Each day I answer three questions:

1) What thing(s) did I do well today?
2) What thing(s) could I have done better?
3) What interesting thing did I read?
It’s quick and simple, but it forces me to pause and review each day. Over time I can start to see what really matters to me, what challenges come up again and again and what changes I need to get serious about if I want to move forward.

There is so much joy in learning something new each day. It is important for your personal life and your professional life to be someone who models self-reflection and a teachable attitude.

For those that are interested here are some of this week’s ‘nerd finds.’
