My thoughts on classroom management:

Posted rules don’t matter. The only ones that count R those you enforce.

Embarrassing kids leads 2 disrespect. Don’t do that.

Good lessons are more effective than good rules.

Everything is easier if you build relationships with the kids.

@realDonaldTrump You’ve already had 4 years to “Make America Great” What you fail to realize is America is already the greatest country in the world!

@teachcardona As former 4th grade teacher and current Elementary Principal in a school system that’s 35% EL I’m so excited to have someone who understands our students leading our nation’s schools!

I have no doubt @DrBiden will ensure we have the right person!

A basic job description for our next Secretary of Education...

✔️ Be a champion for kids
✔️ Be a champion for teachers
✔️ Be a champion for public schools

Think I’m asking too much?

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

We may be opponents — but we are not enemies.

We are Americans.

I’ll keep saying it for as long as it’s necessary to say it: Wearing a mask is about RESPECT.

@ryantstein Loving your book!!!

[Michelle Garvey @GES_Principal_]

@brewerhm @dbc_inc @TaraMartinEDU @burgess_shelley @burgessdave I’d love for my AP to have a copy. She’s a first year admin and I’m a second year admin/first year Principal. We’ve face challenge after challenge this year and never once backed down. We are #relentless! I read your book in one sitting and LOVED every page!

I wonder how many other teachers are introverts, but find teaching a great release.

Tchrs who listen to kids’ conversations, observe their projects, & read their writing don't need to use tests. But this assumes kids have a chance to converse, design projects, & write. If they just listen to lecs & do wksheets, there’s not much authentic learning to BE assessed

@MrsMyers2114 @teacher2teacher @socialstudiestx @mradamwelcome @chrisclinewcps @ERobbPrincipal Relentless by @brewerhm is a great read! Very inspirational! I’ll recommend it every time anyone is looking for a great professional read.

#ThoughtForTheDay Imagine a school where kids are walking down the hallway & every adult is doing their best to interact w/every one of them because they see every kid as their kid. Now ask yourself, “Is this your school?” Every student. Every Day. Whatever it Takes. #Culturize

Zeros hurt kids plain and simple. It’s time to address this practice https://t.co/SdMiZa0C4a
