Every year we get a new class roster. We scan it over to see how many, do we know any of their siblings, can we recognize any names?
Inevitably at some point, while scanning a name comes up we recognize...or even worse someone looks over our shoulder at our list and makes the unbelievably rude comment of "oh you have him/her. Good luck."
We're educators, yes. But we're also human. We aren't perfect.
So here's my challenge for you. A challenge I also gave to myself every year.
When you're looking through your class roster, or meeting your students, or hearing what others have to say, keep in mind that every single child in your class is someone else's whole world.
The experiences they've had with others does NOT determine the experience they'll have with YOU! Why? Because you're different.
You're going to find the gold within them. You're going to keep working at chipping away at their walls. You're going to allow them a clean slate each day.
Because you're a great teacher.
And I'm so thankful you're in each of those children's lives.

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; It is about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. @SteeleThoughts#essentialtruths

To tell a student ‘great job’ or ‘this needs work’ is a missed opportunity. Specific, quality learning feedback can change your teaching.

@RandyFairfield I highly recommend #HaparaChampion Educator course. I have learned so much, and I am a better teacher and user of Hapara as a result of implementing their best practices.
Educators,
Now that school is starting, don't make assumptions about homes of students when they have cameras off. Don’t assume homes are messy, noisy, or absent of parents. Instead, ask yourself “how do I build trust & foster engagement w/cameras off?” You might be surprised...
