No matter how great of a teacher you are or how much you love your students, you will say something that you shouldn't have.

We are all human.

Being human means that you should apologize, even if you are the adult.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When you only listen to the smartest person in the room, you miss out on discovering what the rest of the room is smart about.

Everyone you meet knows something you don’t—and has wisdom from experiences you haven’t lived.

Every conversation is a chance to learn something new.

Mindset is how we view the world and ourselves. It’s our belief system about our abilities and potential, which fuels our behaviour and predicts our success.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

Failure is not the opposite of success, it is an integral part of success. You never learn anything from being perfect all the time.

[Yvonne Messenger @MsYMessenger]

Absolutely true for me too.

[Ms. Barbieri @BarbieriRm2]

Meaningful EDTech moment today! The classroom is a microcosm of our world. We investigated our ⁦@BlythwoodPs⁩ community on the Google Earth App. Ss were captivated to find our school and their neighbourhood. ⁦@Rm7Barbieri⁩

When your mentor and #eduhero tweets out a picture of your first book. 🤓

Thank you @Larryferlazzo for being a leader and a cheerleader to students young and {ahem} old-ish.

Teaching is not a delivery system 🚚, it's an art form 🎨

Just a friendly reminder to please consider the work load you assign to #ELs.

Our English learners typically take twice as long as a monolingual English speaker for EACH assignment.

Hear my heart — don’t lower the bar...just be flexible 🙏🏽
