School districts, if you are dealing with high attrition and turnover, remember that teachers/ staff rarely leave a job where they feel valued, supported, appreciated and treated like professionals.
When kids struggle with reading or math, we provide more support and practice. When they struggle with behavior, we often do the opposite. Imagine if we gave kids detention for poor ELA performance. Anyone think that would help? Me either.

โTime outโ works only for kids who prefer โtime in.โ If a kid doesnโt prefer time in, time out is not a consequence it is a reward.

People always ask me where do they start to be a great leader. I tell them the greatest, simplest and most powerful strategies of all are:
Love. Serve. Care.
Start there!
Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.
