Today’s Professional Development turns the spotlight on the 2nd teaching temptation “Lust of the Eyes”. Prof McDuffie shares the positive results of 2 best practices for dealing with this. First, he explains: the negative effects of this lust; why it matters in the educational realm (especially for 1st year/ rookie teachers); and why it matters after hours at home. Then we walk through the word of God to pinpoint 2-4 strategies employed by Jesus & his disciples in order to not be ‘beta’ to Satan & #StaySigma with Christ. Whether you believe in Jesus or not, these Generation Alpha strategies are Simple, Effective, and Actionable in any classroom with any teacher throughout the United States.

The IMPACT of listening about “Lust of the Eyes” on [-1b] has helped personally...
As a Black Educator, #LTaS propelled me to lean into the system God has created rather than man trusting that all will be right if I surrender to Him alone.
As a Loving Husband, #LTaS gave me the confidence to spend less of the family’s money on my classroom and more towards the investments and business my family chooses. I am now utilizing my time to create Donors Choose campaigns, grants and Amazon Wish lists to fulfill the classroom supply needs since God supplies everything I need for my classroom AND home.
As a Christian, #LTaS has grown my FAITH to have me give more, because we can’t out give God and we are always sufficient in all things according to what is written. I have no reason to have a poverty mindset, nor be envious of other classrooms.
As a Learning Father to a son with Autism, #LTaS helped me realize I haven’t always been grateful for what I have already. Even if there is something that seems good, I need to be more thankful for the abilities I possess and the environment around me.
Objective : We CAN & WILL …
trust the resources we already have and reject envy and the poverty mindset.
Biblical Base : Luke 4:5-8 | Word of the Week : Sufficient
GenAlpha Dictionary : FLEX
Much like flexing your muscles, this slang term is used to call out another person for showing off or boasting. According to Dictionary.com, it doesn’t have the most positive connotation, as it’s associated with power moves, insecurity, arrogance and insincerity.

In a Sentence:
“Those shoes are such a flex—you’re just going to grow out of them in two months anyway.”
“Stop flexing your parents’ car—it’s not like you’re driving it,
Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
