We want all students to learn, but not all students are learning. If we designed more inclusive, equitable, tier-one learning… more students would be successful.

Teaching is a ridiculously hard job, some say almost impossible – like climbing Mount Everest (if you’ll allow for one last metaphor). Still, you’re aware of the difficulty, and though many before you have failed, you have accepted the challenge. #ChallengeAccepted #Believe #FindYourMarigold @brewerhm @cultofpedagogy

Student voices are the most important voices in education. To improve education, we need to listen to
them.

Be Curious…Not Judgmental

When a student (or staff member)struggles, curiosity is key!

Dive deep to uncover the root cause, ignite their curiosity, and never stop believing in their potential.

Education is a journey of resilience. #CuriosityWins #BelieveInStudents

Pat Summit said, "Teamwork is really a form of trust. It’s what happens when you surrender the mistaken idea that you can go it alone and realize that you won’t achieve your individual goals without the support of your colleagues."

Trust is earned, not given.

Every team needs to trust each other.

Transparency builds trust.
Communication builds trust.

Great teams create a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration.

6 Ways to Build Trust in your Team:
1. Build relationships: People want to know that you care about them, that you trust them, and that they can trust you. That happens when you invest time with each other and build bonds.

2. Lead by example: When you lead by example, your actions align with your words and you build trust through your consistent behavior. You set the standard and people follow that example.

3. Communicate openly and actively: When you communicate actively and honestly, you establish a foundation of credibility and integrity. Transparent and active communication creates an environment of trust.

4. Be true to your word: Keeping your promises and following through on commitments establishes reliability and fosters trust. Your actions need to line up with what you say.

5. Admit your mistakes: Acknowledging your mistakes and taking responsibility demonstrates honesty, humility, and builds trust. People want to know that they are dealing with an honest person who can be self-aware.

6. Be Consistent and Authentic: Consistency in your actions and character builds predictability, dependability, and trust because people know who you are and the values you stand for. Upholding those standards, reinforces trust in your intentions and decision-making.
