I remember watching this video as an assignment for my credential program in 2014! Thank you for bringing those words back into my life. "Seek to understand before seeking to be understood." Words that should ring in every educator's ear. I am bookmarking this for the beginning of my school year.

I loved that line too! It called to mind a prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, which is one of my favorites, and includes these lines:
Grant that we may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
