You can complain about things you can't control or you can control what you can control and let go of what you can't. You can focus on your problems or focus on getting better. You can look for an excuse or you can look within and find your best. Make the positive choice today!
Today at a special recognition luncheon, @Region12 recognized our @WestISD Teachers of the Year for the 2018-2019 school year: John Knutson, West Elementary School, and Wade Cook, West Middle/High School. We are WEST! Way to go!
Love our @WestISD leadership team! We hit Waco for some team-building time! Loved the @wacoescaperooms, @drpeppermuseum, George's, the Great Waco Race, and flinging tortillas off the Suspension Bridge! We are now ready for the 2019-20 school year! #WestIsBest

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…who spends himself in a worthy cause.” – Teddy Roosevelt
"When I like the teacher, I want to do their work. And I'll be like, 'I can learn this.'" Research shows that students who feel safe and supported by adults at school are better able to learn. #HowLearningHappens
Today’s learners don’t need us to give them the very information that they have in their pockets. They need us to design experiences that go beyond surface level and into the deep, undiscovered spaces where real learning exists. #education#educators#edchat
The measure of our success will not be determined by how we act during the great times in our life but rather by how we think and respond to the challenges of our most difficult moments.
