TOGETHER we CAN.

[Edwin Gomez, Ed.D. @RivCoSchoolSupt]

In the darkness, we will be light.
In the divisiveness, we will unite.
In the strife, we will be peace.
In the silence, we will speak up.
In the hate, we will love.
In the hurt, we will comfort each other.
In the ignorance, we will teach.
In our intervening, we will triumph.
-JDW

Negative leaders attack their team when there's a problem. Positive leaders work with their team to attack the problem.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

A real leader doesn't lead because they want a title. They lead because there's something that must be changed for the better.

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

As adults, we cannot expect children to know exactly how they should respond to every situation.

They’re learning. They’re kids.

[Phyllis Fagell, LCPC @Pfagell]

It's deceptively simple, but the best way to empower a child is to point out their strengths, help them articulate goals, & tell them you believe they can do ANYTHING. Someday they may forget the dreams they had at 12 or 13, but they'll never forget that someone believed in them.

A small team, committed to a cause bigger than themselves, can achieve absolutely anything.

[Evan Robb @ERobbPrincipal]

A simple leadership tip: Kids and adults who feel noticed feel like they belong - belonging matters.

[Jarrett Lerner @Jarrett_Lerner]

Kids need to see adults:

- Reading books
- Working hard
- Taking care of themselves
- Making mistakes
- Learning from mistakes
- Being happy
- Being sad
- Helping others
- Standing up
- Voting
- Playing
- Being silly
- Being serious
- Being scared
- Being brave
- Being kind

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

Find your crew, your corner, your niche, your spot, your lane, your whatever, then chill. Invest there. Grow there. Be there.

[Brian Mendler @BrianMendler]

Stop focusing on changing the behavior. Instead focus on changing how you respond to the behavior. One I control. One I don’t. #1 rule learned in #recovery- “If I change me I change everything around me.” #bethechange #leader #thatonekid

My students are future nurses, engineers, business owners, biologist, teachers, psychologists, air traffic controllers, professional athletes, and so many more! One reason I love https://t.co/p14096A11s it gives hopes and dreams to young minds. @DesertRidgeAcad @Jessica03997290

“I have soo many jobs or careers that I wanna do now. At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do but now I do.” A 6th grade student after completing the https://t.co/p14096A11s interest profiler. Absolutely love helping students find their purpose✨

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

Normalize apologizing without making excuses, being defensive, or justifying the mistake,

but also,

normalize asking clarifying questions, believing the best about someone, and giving grace for growth.

[Jay Wamsted @JayWamsted]

Putting grades in for first quarter and we’re all arguing about whether no-shows get zeros or fifties

And someone tells me not to worry about it, because “middle school grades don’t count anyways”

I wonder, then, why we give them out at all?

Today was such a refreshing day of professional development! As a counselor, I love collaborating and understanding how I can support students and teachers. Today’s topics included SEL, attendance, behavior and grading equity! @Jessica03997290 @DesertRidgeAcad @DesertSandsUSD

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

The whole of these United States of America, Republicans and Democrats alike, needed that fly. It was a gift from God’s celestial shore. Just a few more weary days and then. I’ll fly away.
