Singing right and left that you are an ally is not enough. "Don't tell me, show me." How much personal work are you doing? How much are you checking your own biases & CALLING them out on yourself when they start to impact your decisions & actions? Yep! The work starts by naming.

Questions to ask your Ss in the first week:
1. What helps you feel welcomed?
2. How do you like to be greeted?
3. What strengths do you bring to classrooms? The school?
4. What do you like most about school so far?

I’m a huge fan of having a first period advisory that focuses exclusively on restorative circles. It may be one of the most high leverage/proactive/preventive things a school can do to transform performance. Building Community With Restorative Circles https://t.co/KfGtFZIifb

How Complaining Rewires Your Brain for Negativity - Repeated complaining rewires your brain to make future complaining more likely. Over time, you find it’s easier to be negative than to be positive, regardless of what’s happening around you. https://t.co/KdkQqzNzUf

Research shows that reading for pleasure leads to success in school, but only 17% of 17-year-olds say they do so. How teachers, parents, and librarians can work together to counteract that trend→https://t.co/xBOCewGYGM

“I don’t think people even know how much they lose when they lose their librarian. They may lose the only person who keeps up with what the students are reading, and who acts as an unbiased advocate for the students because I never had to grade them.” https://t.co/3ln9yF8ZZd

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

We can teach counting so kids can do math.
We can teach spelling so kids can read and write.
We can teach coding so kids can build apps.

But today. TODAY. Today I want to teach empathy so kids can understand and share the feelings of others.

Ensuring that more students will be denied a diploma...in the name of "rigor" - latest ex. of confusing harder with better: https://t.co/lH6OwQeV8H. "Higher standards" = those that all kids will never be able to meet. (If they did, the standards would just be raised again)

Congrats to senior Connor Barfknecht on tying the school record in the high jump at 6 feet 6 inches. #KnightPride
