Education is...

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Start school with connection, not content. Relationships, routines, expectations, and consistency create the foundation for success all year long.

Leaders: 6 Ways to Lower Staff Stress This Year
1) Explain 1-on-1 Meetings – If you call an individual meeting, let them know the reason up front.
2) Don’t Punish the Whole Team – Address issues directly, not with blanket announcements.
3) Praise 5x More Than You Critique – Recognition should outweigh correction every time.
4) Protect Their Time – Fewer meetings, more meaningful work.
5) Support Is a Key, Not an Extra – Encouragement is essential, not optional.
6) Pause Evaluations During Peak Stress – Avoid adding pressure during testing, grading, or end-of-semester crunch.

Intentional Actions are needed. One cannot just expect a culture to build within content classrooms alone.

Culture.

Remember, micromanagement, at its core, is trying to control others to be and do things exactly as you would. This stifles their unique talents, strengths, and passions—qualities that make them great.

bring your abilities, not your agenda.

The relationships between school leaders and staff, as well as among staff members, are just as important as those between teachers and students. Strong adult relationships lead to better collaboration, support, and morale, directly enhancing the quality of education.

Students know when a teacher is real. They have a radar for authenticity.
* Admit when you've made a mistake
* Say Thank You
* Don't feel like you have to know it all
* Listen to them/ ask them about their interests
* Use humor/ stories
* Let them know/ see you really care

@votediana @DriveBC Accident in the east bound lanes. It was alternating traffic with no real controllers. Both directions backed up extremely quick.

@DriveBC why are there no updates about #BCHwy1 #Shuswap between #ChaseBC and #SorrentoBC? Single alternating traffic with about 1 hour wait. Mouth of the Little Shuswap/River to Little Boat World in an hour. People need to know.

Providing teachers lunch, coffee, jeans day, or covering their lunch/bus duty doesn't magically fix all the issues in a school, but in my experience, it sure beats not doing them! Show a little appreciation as Standardized Tests approach.

Bullying shouldn’t be part of leadership. Thankfully most aren’t like this. But here are some of the signs of
bullying:
* lack transparency
* use title/ position as power
* tell instead of ask
* demeaning/disrespectful
* lack empathy
* refuse feedback/ input
* favors yes people

I don't think I need to add anything to this. It says it all.

When we discuss student engagement, we never discuss the importance of teacher engagement. Gallup research says employees ( including teachers) are 6 times more engaged when they feel valued and that their strengths are utilized. This creates a dynamic learning environment!
