Bulletin boards, lesson plans, classroom décor. Oh, my! As educators, we can easily become wrapped up in running the “perfect” classroom. None of us are strangers to perfectionism. We’re grading and rating students on their growth and achievements each day, so it's easy to fall into perfectionist thinking. Perfectionism isn't as good as some of us think it is; it's actually a double-edged sword. However, there are ways we can reduce perfectionism while maintaining excellence in our classrooms.
