Being 100% reliant on a textbook as a primary teaching resource is equivalent to telling students they can only use pay phones on the street to communicate.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

If you ask a teacher what they want from their admin, they’re probably not gonna say “instructional leadership.” Most will simply say: “SUPPORT!” It’s important to note, though… that when they do feel supported, they are much more receptive to the instructional leadership.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Principals don’t always know what they’re doing. Sometimes, we’re just fumbling our way through… trying to support the teachers and love the kids.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

One negative employee can push away loyal customers. One negative leader can ruin the culture of an organization. One negative team member can sabotage the team. That’s why we must weed the negative and feed the positive.

We need a plan to teach, reteach and teach again. Students need repetition over time. @aaron_hogan #TEPSA18 #tepsastrong

This image by my friend @woodard_julie has quickly become one of my favourite and most powerful. I will be using this as a beginning of year reflection.

@HallPrestonK Love your classroom layout! ❤️

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Sometimes, school is hard… for the kids AND adults. Teachers deal with all sort of challenges… from overcrowding, to unruly kids, to difficult parents. Staff members who rise above the adversity and remain positive are leaders... and they have a HUGE impact on the culture.

My favorite from sports related to blaming vs finding a way to win. #CultureEd

Homework is perhaps one of the most misused strategies in K–12 classrooms; it is too often assigned as a matter of routine. Here are strategies to assign it purposefully. #NASOT

It takes a village to raise a village - let’s model the change we want to see. #JoyfulLeaders

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Teachers are not successful because they have the right curriculum, the right lesson plan, or the right resources. They are successful because they have the right mindset.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Powerful activity. Thank you for sharing, @SteeleThoughts. https://t.co/fXpBRGQQe5

Keep calling out the willful, well-funded lie of “failed schools.” Public education in America is doing better than ever, teachers succeeding better than ever, students learning better than ever. It’s the best investment the public can make in a positive and powerful future.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

The best thing teachers can do for their colleagues… is to bring a positive attitude to work every day.
