Leigh Brown-Holmes (Empathy & Inclusion)

A Letter From Leigh: The Ghandi quote, "Be the change you'd like to see in the world" is a quote that not only resonates deeply with me, but one that has guided my practice and professionalism for as long as I can remember. I have always had the heart for teaching and knew that message of change would unfold through my love of learning, growing, and supporting youth.  I have been very fortunate in my life to get paid for work that fills my soul, and I feel very thankful to have the opportunity to work with and support our amazing scholars as they rise into their independence and adulthood. Today, I am not only am a teacher, I am an active advocate of social change, especially around supporting growth in how we teach and support our scholars with disabilities. Simply put...we all deserve a right to an equal education that meets us where we are. We all deserve an opportunity for employment that doesn't pay below minimum wage and matches our skillsets. We all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity regardless of our abilities. My hope for our community is to continue to challenge the stereotypes and boxes put on people with disabilities and instead promote inclusion and acceptance of all ability levels.  Be that change my friends! Spread acceptance! Spread love! Spread awareness!  -L Podcast Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music [https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music]

Grit is about having passion and perseverance for long-term goals. 3. Gritty people are able to maintain their determination and motivation over long periods despite experiences with failure and adversity. The Five Big Ideas 1. Grit is about holding the same top-level goal for a very long time. (A top-level goal is your ultimate concern, a compass that gives direction and meaning to all the goals below it.) 2. Paragons of grit have four psychological assets: (1) interest (2) practice (3) purpose (4) hope. 3. Gritty people do more deliberate practice and experience more flow. 4. For paragons of grit, the long days and evenings of toil, the setbacks and disappointments, and struggle, the sacrifice—all this is worth it because, ultimately, their efforts pay dividends to other people. 5. Often, the critical gritty-or-not decisions we make are a matter of identity more than anything else. Podcast Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music
