Good morning! Let someone know today that you see their gifts. Point out the great things they do, the strengths they show, and the impact they have. We all need to hear those things once in a while. Help others see their shine! Have a great day!👊

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

@DrBradJohnson Why I introduced my teachers to Whole Brain Teaching - WBT. We were one of nine schools in the US to be called a WBT school.

@BeckyKurkowski Absolutely not! I used with my kindergartners.

Teachers know their why. It's the students. They often stay for them and are the main thing they miss if they leave. They don't need to be reminded of their why or that its all about the students. They just need support, encouragement, & appreciation, which is the Admin's why.

Good morning! In a world where anyone can tear apart someone else’s work choose to be that person that is willing to help other’s improve, succeed, and achieve more than they imagined. Be that person who uses their time to lift up rather than push down. The choice is ours!👊

Admin, always make morale a priority. Part of high morale is having your staff/ teachers' back.

@WistahAnne Last year I told our staff that everyday was a Jean day. Getting on the floor with students . . . They need to be comfortable

Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. This will not help them be successful long term and will cause them to hate school in the short term. Be strength focused more than weakness focused.
