I passed the licensure exam for learning behavior specialist - 1 in July of this year. I'm in my last term of my masters program in special education. I'm starting my third week of student-teaching (out of the 15 weeks required). I have been without income since June and need to generate some today. #spedteachers #learning #behavior #specialist #elementary

When we hire for our own team we look for intellectually curious people, and look for “self awareness and cognition” which is just a fancy way of people being able to learn! It’s what most employers look for and being a good and continuous learner is the single strongest behavior that can help one get ahead -however you define that. Here’s an article from the folks at HBR about it. One key is to remember learning is everywhere- not just in a classroom setting. But we do need to be purposeful about it.
Check out the article below for more food-for-thought on this (it’s kinda written for office workers, but the general concepts are transferable to any occupation in my view) .. #learning #education #getahead

If you aren't learning something new, you aren't growing. And if you aren't growing, then you really aren't succeeding. Here's a few 'wake-up-call' questions for you...

• What have you learned so far this year?
• What will you learn before the year is over?
• Where will you learn this - through your employer, or on your own? We all have to take responsibility to move our own worklife forward. It starts with building a continuous learning 'muscle'.

For me - I have learned a good amount from both colleagues and competitors this year and have learned a lot from people I have met in different settings as well. However, perhaps some of the best learning I have achieved this year is via some deepdives into 1-2 books in particular. But as I type this, I wonder if the pace of my learning hasn't decreased a bit from prior years, and so will take some time between now and July to consider what new learning goals I'll have for the second half of 2022.

What about you? What have you learned? And what are you doing to ensure you expand your skills and knowledge so that you continuously grow? #learning #growth

I'm telling you the truth.. (MUST READ)

Don't ever wait to see what others are doing in the morning or dreaming about after a good night sleep.

Each morning, after you look in the faces of your children and perhaps your grandparents as well. Sit down on the highest mountain in your MINDSET, then, look upward and always say thank you!

You'll be amazed how your words can transcend an attitude of gratitude that surpasses all understanding.

May the surrender of your faith be be counted in your favor for years to come. Can you do this?

I Believe You Can...!

I met with a large staffing company based out of Charlotte today and they're doing some pretty cool things!

One of which is developing mini-workshops and learning materials to address topics that are important to employees in either their job search or their career development.

They've hosted hands-on workshops on resume writing and another mini leadership course for employees being promoted into supervisor roles for the first time in their careers - a great start!

What other topics would be helpful for a company to address?
