Nashville native + @VandyBoys alum @LukeMurphy27_ has been one of the most consistent arms out of the bullpen, leading the team with 5 wins.

I remember asking a 3rd year teacher what she’s learned as a new teacher. Her advice: 1) Pay attention to the needs of your kids… not just the standards. 2) Talk through behavior issues… don’t JUST assign consequences. 3) Rely on your colleagues. 4) Take things in stride.
Sometimes, kids make bad choices… but that doesn’t make them a bad kid. I hope we communicate that message to our students. Tomorrow is a new day. (And we’re all hoping to be a little bit more mature tomorrow than we were today.) #Redemption
It’s good to teach your students the curriculum, critical thinking, and creative problem solving. But don’t forget to teach your students to have a good handshake, to look people in the eye, and to be considerate of others. In the long run, those things might matter more.
It’s great for administrators to pop in classes. But maybe it’s good for them to withhold judgment if they happen to see something that they don’t like. It’s only a snapshot, and they may have missed some brilliance 5 minutes earlier.
As a principal, one of my goals was for our staff to understand that I believed their families were the most important thing in the world to them.
Educators love their job, but most have that job to support their family & they shouldn’t feel guilty when they take care of ‘em.
All of my favorite people under the same roof and in my favorite place for an entire week. It doesn’t get any better! 🏖🐠☀️ @ Sandestin, Florida https://t.co/x1ymiJQ5Gg
It’s good for teachers to shadow a student, for admin to shadow a teacher, and even for teachers to shadow admin.

The teachers that are the most effective in the classroom are the ones that believe they play the most important role in the learning of their students. They do not view themselves as victims of bad curriculum, “lazy” students, or unsupportive parents. They just get after it!
Every time we walk into the school, we have the opportunity to be a bright spot in a student’s day. There’s a lot that we can’t control and there are days that we may feel inadequate… but we can always be the reason that a kid smiles.
I remember asking my 12 year old nephew who his favorite teacher was. He mentioned a teacher’s name and said: “She is always walking around with a smile… so I think... man, she must enjoy her job!”
Kids notice.
