Parents are sending us their very best. They’re trusting us with the most valuable gift they have in the world. Every child and every family deserves our best in return. Teach from your heart and offer hope through relationships, learning, and growth.
Outstanding learning is built on...
1. Strong relationships (be warm)
2. High expectations (be demanding)
3. Great experiences (engage and empower)

I appreciate empathetic educators. Their job is more stressful… because they feel the pain and struggles that their students endure. But their job is infinitely more rewarding… because they’re the ones who truly touch the lives of their students.
Some kids are nervous about going back to school. Good teachers get that. They understand that the first order of business is to make their classroom a safe place for kids.
Great leadership isn’t making sure people are doing their jobs. It’s making sure people understand their strengths—making sure they know how talented they are. It’s believing in people and getting them to believe in themselves. #satchat#CultureEd#FutureDriven

Educators talk a lot about the importance of building “relationships.” What that really means… is we need to focus on PEOPLE. There’s nothing magical about it… and there’s certainly not a formula. Just value the people around you… and care about their well being.
