Educators: The first day of school is an amazing opportunity. What can you do on Day 1 that has your kids running back to you on Day 2? We can’t forget: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” Make the first day count! #FutureReady

So fortunate for all of you in #PLN who inspire me and so many others. Thank you!
It seems as though the top 10 job skills needed in 2020 don't include rote memorization or passing standardized tests. Are we preparing students for the future? #teachergoals#rethinkHighSchool
If you can’t love every kid you serve, you probably shouldn’t be working with kids.
It isn’t easy. It doesn’t always have a clear path. But you never quit loving them. Ever.

Q1. Students come to us with all kinds of trauma from life. What methods do you use to cut through the trauma and create a positive experience for all learners? #rethink_learning
There's a shift in thinking that has to happen... Instead of measuring all students the same, we have to give all students the opportunity to become successful. Standardized measurements don't necessarily build on the strengths of those we serve.
Q1: What are some current adult behaviors in schools that are not positive for kids that need to be adjusted, re-examined, or eliminated all together? #CSISDchat#Culturize
Outstanding learning is built on...
1. Strong relationships (be warm)
2. High expectations (be demanding)
3. Great experiences (engage and empower)

When teachers get "curious instead of furious" they don't take the student's behavior personally, and they don't act on anger. They respond to student behaviors rather than react to them. https://t.co/gwzdGHcFIx
