A 20-minute staff activity where every educator chooses a single word to guide their mindset and focus for the year. Simple to run, easy to remember, and surprisingly meaningful when staff share the words they chose and why.
Why try it
Big goals can feel overwhelming. One word keeps things simple. Whether it's growth, balance, confidence, or connection, a single word can serve as a clear focus and reminder throughout the year while creating opportunities for staff to learn more about one another.
