In this low-key, holiday break episode, CJ reflects on the first half of the school year and shares his goals for a more intentional and joyful second half. Topics include helping students build confidence and creativity, choosing new core texts like Tuesdays with Morrie and Of Mice and Men, and using storytelling-based assessments.
He also chats about parenting during tech-heavy times, how he uses winter break to realign his faith, family, and classroom vision, and why working the school concession stand is his new favorite way to connect with the community. A cozy, encouraging listen for anyone resetting over break.
