Classroom management is best achieved with relationships and community, not compliance. It works with a smile, not a scowl. It works with curiosity, not fear. It works with teachable moments, not punishment.

As we get closer to holiday break let’s make sure we keep this a focus each day.

[Mark Henry 🏳️‍🌈 (he/his) @TeachesMark]

I’d get super behind this.

@Teacherscare101 @MrsKadlick @MissColdsmith @NakishaNatalie @LotoyaAnderson @RoxiAdkins thought of you creative ladies when I saw this! Sending holiday cheer and rest your way.

Kids don't need us to be rock stars right now to help them. They need reliable adults in their lives as much as possible. Stability. Consistency. Kindness. Patience. Direction. We sometimes overlook the most basic and effective qualities to help our kids feel safe.

Ss are researching about the future career they dream about. Make way for our future vets, athletes, doctors, nurses, lawyers, and illustrators! #GettinJazzyIn702b #StudentDriven #Research

I'm traveling the state to say 'Thank You, Virginia.' Today, we start with major news: I'm proposing record funding for public education and a 10% raise for teacher pay. That is a 20% total raise during my term—finally, Virginia’s teachers will be paid above the national average!

This is so important! 🙌

A simple leadership tip: We can control how we respond to things we can’t control.

The art of teaching often hangs upon asking the next question.

(The one that’s not in the teacher’s guide.)

“The pupusa was as warm and soft as a blanket.” One of my Ss came up with this creative sentence while trying something new in his writing -using 5 senses to create vivid images. #GettinJazzyIn702b #Conferring #Writing

This is truth. 💯

Kids don't plan to come to school to get into trouble. Behaviour is a form of communication and quite often - the reason for it will make you sad, not angry.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Whether this is your first year teaching or your thirty first year teaching - this year may be the most difficult in one’s career. Never has empathy, patience and resilience been more important.

[Jazmyne Stephens @JazmynesCorner]

It’s always a good day to let someone know you appreciate them or the impact they’ve had on you.
