I’m inspired by educators who see the big picture. Educators who recognize the goal is not a compliant student, but an engaged student... Educators who value relationships over rules... Educators who realize their work is about investing in the future of children.
Students,
Never believe that Good Grades are all you need. More importantly you need:
🏫A Personality
🏫A Work Ethic
🏫 Kindness
🏫 A Desire to Serve
🏫 The ability to cope with bad days
🏫 A Love of Learning
🏫 Wisdom

Teachers need to share what they are doing in the classroom even if they think it is the obvious, because their obvious may be someone else’s light bulb moment @tishrich#MLmagical@dbc_inc#tlap@burgessdave
"Memorization is a frontage road: It runs parallel to the best parts of learning, never intersecting.
It's a detour around all the action, a way of knowing without learning, of answering without understanding." ~Ben Orlin (today's SWD PD)
The platform we have on Twitter is not nearly as important as the platform we will have at work tomorrow. It’s good to say nice things on social media; it’s even better to say nice things to the person right in front of you.
