I don’t think teachers will be remembered primarily for their lessons. I think they will be remembered for their energy... and their attitude... and their relationships.
Lessons are important... but they don’t tell the entire story. The legacy of a teacher is more than that.
In 2020 it feels like we’re living in pot of boiling water. When placed in the pot an 🥚 is hardened. A 🥕 is weakened. Don’t be like either. Instead be like the coffee bean. It transforms the water into ☕️. You have the power inside you to transform your environment.
@FredEnde shares another gem- “‘I wonder’ statements are always temperature lowering ways to start difficult conversations.” Thanks for that practical tool! #edlr5402
The school to prison pipeline starts at birth. We need to focus on providing students and families with support and resources even before they enter the kindergarten classroom! #edlr5402
“Racism is a pandemic” -@ltanyabdraughn so true! Thank you for sharing those words with us! We are so focused on COVID (which we should be) but we should also focus on the racism pandemic going on as well. #EDLR5402
“The effectiveness of professional development increases when it combines theory, practical application, feedback and cognitive peer coaching with follow up.”(Joyce and Showers 2002) #EDLR5402

Zepeda,Parylo, and Bengtson’s eight major roles of a principal: a learner, a culture builder, an advocate, a leader, a mentor, a supervisor, a manager and a politician. Talk about a lot of hats to wear! #EDLR5402
Principals are adult learners too. We often forget this, and look to our principals to provide adult learning to others but we must not forget that they are on an adult learning journey themselves. #EDLR5402
Another great back to school find! As a teacher of many ESL students, finding items and materials that incorporate multiple languages is so helpful and exciting! #diversity#ESL#EDLR5402
I felt this planner was necessary to have this upcoming year as a daily reminder to put students first ALWAYS! Especially important to keep in mind during all this uncertainty #studentsfirst#EDLR5402
The chat went by so quickly! This is a great way to hear everyones voice when you have such a large group! Thank you :). Happy Friday eve everyone! #5402chat
A5: Breaking PL into section or parts. Often too much is covered in one sitting anyways. It feels like information overload. If we break down the info. into multiple sessions, it allows for follow up and better PL. #5402
