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.
Such an honor to host @FirstLadyVA , @VASecofEdu and @VaSecofHealth at Galax Elementary today! Thank you so much for visiting. You are welcome back anytime!
@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!
#ThoughtForTheDay "To the children of our country, regardless of your gender, DREAM with ambition, LEAD with conviction and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they've never seen it before.” - Kamala Harris
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?
@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!
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
#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
