There's quite a bit in here that we, as educators, can influence - if we're willing to let go of some sacred cows. There's no better time to start talking with your colleagues about what this could look like. Thanks for the starter-lists, Mike!
#ThoughtForTheDay Change isn’t always scary. Sometimes not changing can be scary. It’s a disservice to our teachers when we say they don’t like change or they fear change. What they fear is when we don’t give them the support, resources, guidance & TIME to change. #Culturize
#ThoughtForTheDay On occasion we have to take time to declutter in order to get rid of the junk. Not from our closet/garage but from our head. When we allow frustration, anger & resentment to take up space in our head, we can’t bring our best self to the day. #LiveYourExcellence
#ThoughtForTheDay Want to expand your impact? Then we must be intentional in expanding ourselves. Fill your cup by pouring into others regularly. Pour your love, time, patience, laughter, wisdom, kindness, & energy into others & watch how it comes back to you ten-fold. #Culturize
Saddened by the passing of Kenny Rogers but still being inspired by his words - “I don’t have a bucket list of my own...I have a bucket list of things I want to do with my family.” RIP Kenny! #LiveYourExcellence
#ThoughtForTheDay Let’s continue to send positive thoughts to alll educators during this difficult time, but especially our principals and superintendents who are navigating challlenges very few have ever encountered. They too need a champion right now. #LiveYourExcellence
#ThoughtForTheDay I wonder if it’s time to go away from “sick days” & allow edu’s to have personal days w/o explanation? Part of being treated like a professional is respecting when we need a mental health day(s) to regroup to be better for our students & colleagues. #Culturize
#ThoughtForTheDay No matter how many times a student tells you they don’t care about school or whether they succeed or not remember that no child wants to be a failure. Some will try & convince u but it’s in those moments when they need u the most. Believe in all kids. #Culturize
#ThoughtForTheDay We cannot continue to ask those who take pride in their work & are passionate about their job to take on one more thing. Instead, take care of your best people by providing them w/the support they need before they burn out & leave. #Culturize
