We make so many in the moment decisions every day in the classroom. There is often so much happening all at once that it can feel challenging to center yourself when you start to feel overwhelmed. These five teaching mantra cards are designed for you to download and print. You can place them on your desk or carry one in your pocket. When you start to feel overwhelmed, read one of the cards. Come back to the phrase on the card throughout the day. Like taking a deep breath, these teaching mantras will help you focus on what is most important, the lesson and your students.
