When spring fever meets sugary holidays … it’s hard to find the good. That’s why today, we’re featuring 3 great resources for connecting, calming, centering … & cultivating yourself & your community like a candy-colored spring flower.
Confession time: I watched the video above from Happily Family more than once. And I took notes! It seems simple, this 3-step process (& it is), but the simple genius of it inspired me with ideas for specific questions I can ask my own two kiddos who have been “going through a phase” for about 4 1/2 days (but who’s counting?!). 🙃

Outschool, that virtual classroom that’s great for homeschoolers, ed supplementation or tutoring, or just self-education on topics where kids have interest, is empowering your kids to have more agency in the shifting world. April’s hallmark is The Money Makers Edventure——an online conference that’s FREE. There are also several month-long money-focused classes for as low as $1.
What responsibilities do schools have in a democratic society? Fellow Substack-ians at the newsletter School of Thought are asking that question——& answering it in a guest post by Danny Mucinskas, Senior Project Manager for The Good Project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Danny addresses the unique & persistent strains on educators today, as well as the fact that “over 40% [of teachers] say … they are likely to leave teaching in the next 2 years.”
School of Thought & The Good Project both hope to dive into the heart of this matter as a highly present solution for positive change. They’re inviting you to join the Co-Creators Community & then attend a special virtual gathering to access “16 open-source lesson plans to help educators have thoughtful conversations in their classrooms about ‘good work’ in ways that are aligned with students’ personal values and responsibilities.”
