3 things I need to remind myself often:

1. Control the controllables
2. Pursue excellence, not perfection
3. Be where your feet are

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

The Innovator’s Mindset was one of my favorite books that I’ve read while getting my Masters through MSUM! Thanks for sharing some great ideas @gcouros 📚🍎 #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

Something I need to remember, along with showing my athletes. We all need rest and down time! #ED527

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

Rest is NOT a reward.

(It’s a neurobiological imperative)

And, does NOT need to be earned.

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

@JonGordon11 Believe in your team and encourage them! Showing others that you have confidence and belief in them goes a long way. #ED527

@leadteachread What one did you join? I'm looking for a good one :) #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

@seidler_nicole Thank you!! I will definitely check that out :)

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

"Embrace their knowledge & they'll embrace their learning". Such a powerful quote from @TopDogTeaching that reminds teachers that we can take a step back and let our students teach us something new! #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

A very cool way to help our students to take ownership of their own learning #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

@flaneryel4lyf I implemented a mental health check-in with my college swim team! Every Friday they will reflect on how they're feeling, followed by meditation/mindfulness/yoga! #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

Just like @gcouros makes so clear in The Innovator's Mindset- relationships, relationships, relationships! It will always be the most important part of teaching. #ED527

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

I will say this with absolute certainty: spending the first few classes pulling each student aside, talking to them individually, and getting to know them and their interests is the best “classroom management” hack there is.

@DKhighered While i'm not in the classroom at the moment, I have found myself using Canva for so many different projects in the past year! #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

@DrKCarlson My 5th graders went crazy over blooket! I liked seeing how excited they got during these games! #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

@seidler_nicole I've enjoyed using Canva as well! I've used it for class projects, as a coach, and in my classroom! It's a great resource. #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

Reading through this chapter of The Innovators Mindset by @gcouros and really reflecting in how important these traits are, as a teacher but also as a swim coach! 🏊‍♀️ #ED527

[Erin Sullivan @ErinSullivanEd]

"Having the freedom to fail is important to innovation. But even more important to the process are the traits of resiliency and grit." #ED527
