Portrait of a Learner Twitter ChallengeFor November, we launched our Portrait of a Learner Twitter Challenge and are focused on highlighting our Skillful Collaborators. Here are my favorite posts this past week. Each month we will choose one Portrait of a Learner competency and highlight through Twitter what that competency looks like in our classrooms and schools. If you post with the hashtags #MURSDInspires #PortraitofaLearner with your picture and/or description of the Portrait of a Learner in action, you will be entered into a raffle to win some fun prizes! Our Twitter Challenge POL competency for November will be: #Skillful Collaborator PD Opportunities

1. Sit comfortably. You don't have to twist yourself into a cross-legged position-unless you want to, of course. you can just sit in a chair. (You can also stand up or lie down, although the latter can sometimes result in an unintentional nap.) Whatever your position, you should keep your spine straight, but don't strain. 2. Feel your breath. Pick a spot: nose, belly, or chest. Really try to feel the in-breath and then the out-breath. 3. This one is the key: Every time you get lost in thought--which you will, thousands of times--gently return to the breath. I cannot stress strongly enough that forgiving yoursel fnad starting over is the whole game. As my friend and meditation teacher Sharon Salzbert has written, "Beginning again and again is the actual practice, not a problem to overcome so that one day we can come to the 'real' meditation".
