On the Kind & Brave Revolution

I met Glennon last year at TedX in Traverse City, Michigan.  Immediately after, I devoured her book.  Laughing & crying in equal portions.  I am drawn to her authenticity and willingness to speak her truth.

She does this despite the fact that, in this world driven by social media, people will disagree with her truth.  Publicly.  Loudly.  (She also knows that there is a community of Monkees *visit her website for a description* who will applaud her truth telling.  Publicly.  Loudly.)

I am a Monkee.  Proudly.  Some days Glennon's words save me . . . and I'm not a mom.
Doesn't matter.  At Momastery everyone is in.  And love wins.

Several weeks ago she shared the story of her son's teacher's approach to creating an inclusive environment:  http://momastery.com/blog/2014/01/30/share-schools/

This post went viral.  Huge.  Tons of my friends shared it:  teachers, retired teachers, parents, non-parents, pastors, nonprofit leaders, politicians.  An unmarried childless businessman printed it and brought it to my friend who is a teacher at church.  It touched everyone who cares at all about kids and schools and our future as a society.

Yesterday there was an update on her blog:  http://momastery.com/blog/2014/03/04/kind-brave-revolution/

This morning, I watched the piece on the Today Show.  Yes, I loved it.  Yes, I felt teary and grateful.  Yes, I adore Glennon's son's teacher.  But the part I watched the news for was still missing:  then what?  

After the teacher identifies who needs some extra attention, some extra inclusion, what strategies does she use?  If the first blog post touched so much of us with Truth, the strategies need to be shared too!

Read these two articles.  Watch the Today Show clip.

Then talk to me about this.  What are your thoughts about What's Next?

Oh, and not just for teachers.  What's next for administrators?  What's next for community members?  What's next for YOU?
