If you can't get out of it, get into it! Here's to helping our students and staff "get into" our first week of distance learning!

@DrBradJohnson Thankful to give and get support with vast majority of staff, students, and parents.

@DrBradJohnson Most insidious bullying I have experienced has been in the past 5 years as an admin. Bullying is coming from a few long time teachers in the district with the assist of a couple school board members. I am often second guessed and criticized. It gets hard always playing defense.

Always a great reminder!

Read your Indicators. Identify if you are Above or Below the Line. One minute reminder from ⁦@TjdsbTom⁩ ⁦@top20training⁩

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

@KidsDeserveIt I want to be remembered for how much I cared about my students and my staff. Relationships first, everything else is second.

Fisher School has begun Mission Monday. Thanks Sam and Mark for the inspiration!

Grandkid performed in "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!" Made me question: Is the presumption on the "Herdmans" in our school that they make everything worse or do we allow them to be part of/reason for having the "Best School" ever.

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

Had 2 Ts email me this week to thank me for my support. So glad I can be in their corner!

Administrators don’t usually get to have the same “light bulb moments” that teachers have with kids in their class. Their rewarding moments are when they can support a teacher… when we can do something to lighten their load and make their tough job a little easier.

@mikesmithlive Like many ‘things’ in schools, we can’t keep doing what we’ve always done and expect different results. Kids are everything. Literally they mean existence for the world. Safety and trust are nonnegotiables in the education conversation.

@NLAStuCo @NLAschool Nasty Negative Mental Habits are like a rug that’s been spoiled. Throw ‘em out!

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

It was great having you in Fisher. Staff loved the training!!

[Tom Cody @TjdsbTom]

Today’s ⁦@top20training⁩ road trip takes ⁦@TjdsbTom⁩ to Fisher MN (Look it up on Google Maps!!!) With staff all day training sessions

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

@MrSteveAvery @KidsDeserveIt Well done! 👍

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

@KidsDeserveIt The student that came and asked if she could sit in my office to eat lunch with me.

How would your student relationships differ if you said "connection-seeking" rather than "attention-seeking?" Your answer matters.

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

@LturnerAHS @WeinsteinEdu Expect positive, more likely to see positive

For the sake of our Students and Teachers, let's make 2019-2020 the year we put an end to the Toxic Saboteurs in our schools nation-wide!!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Being an instructional leader doesn’t always mean you are providing expertise in teaching and learning. Sometimes… it just means you are helping to shape the conditions in which your teachers can thrive. Sometimes, it’s just about building the right culture.

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

@edutopia As a teacher, we model what we expect from students. I am willing to be open and "model" my vulnerability so students can feel safer sharing their vulnerability with me. I can't expect my students to go further than I am willing to go myself.

[Catherine Steinmetz @CatsteinISD600]

@TheWeirdTeacher Teaching HS math, I make the connection between a foundation/vasemebt and a building. A basement without a building is just a hole in the ground, but a building without a foundation collapses. I help you lay the foundation. What building is built is up to you.
