I am *pretty* good about maintaining relationships with others teachers that I admire, but it's not usually done purposefully; rather, it's somewhat accidental. This lesson suggests doing lunch with a few teachers over the summer that you admire. This actually became easier for me when I focused on my current, seemingly insurmountable issue (don't worry, I have every intention of "solving" this before summer is over): cell phones.
I really feel like the first step, for me, is finding a stance on this that I believe in. Right now, I'm torn and kind of all over the place with it. For this specific issue, I think I could talk to T, A, and E (keeping names out of it).
The other thing that this lesson points out is knowing Godly teachers--teachers that are approaching their job with God in mind. I think, thankfully, there are three at my site (J, C and B), and I think we could be doing more to encourage each other spiritually.
Everyone is so busy over the summer; but I will try and see if I can do lunch with the first two and just chat with the third. :) Perhaps some different perspectives will help me out. Also--I could probably think of more people to approach. Even if it's just to compare perspectives while I figure out where I come down.
