The Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA) is asking that we head into 2021 looking at the ways we can become "better together."
"Better individuals, better educators, better spouses and parents, better at showing grace, showing up and stepping up. Better at realizing what truly matters, what the word essential truly means and better at truly loving our family when at a moment’s notice, it felt like they were all we could hold onto as the world and life as we knew it slipped away and changed time and time again," the organization wrote in a press release from its website.
Last year changed everyone, now it's time to use that change and refocus for the better, TEPSA said.
"As we shift into a new year, let’s also ensure we shift our mindsets to see the potential that lies ahead as we leave 2020 behind and better than we found it. Let’s not think in terms of the next 12 months or the next 365 days, but let’s focus in on this next week, the next day, the next five minutes," TEPSA wrote in the press release.
Focusing on small wins for the community is important right now, TEPSA said.
"For many, resolutions are lofty and frequently broken but sought after as a source of alignment for the new year ahead and for what individuals, families, schools and districts hope to accomplish," TEPSA wrote in the press release.
This year, TEPSA encourages people to adopt and live by one word. The one word, such as joy, will help guide you through your year.
“Simply put, one word sticks. There is a word meant for you and when you find it, live it and share it, your life will become more rewarding and exciting than ever," Jon Gordon of TEPSA said in the press release.
