Important reminder. 🧡

[Todd Whitaker @ToddWhitaker]

We have to stop giving power to negative people. It hurts the morale of everyone else. #MLDSchat

[Dr. Phil Echols @PhilEchols]

The person I’m speaking to now has nothing to do with the person who frustrated me yesterday. Lord, help me treat every interaction individually & not allow stress & previous frustrations to negatively impact this moment 🙏🏾💛 This is for me, but someone else might need it too.

The work/home balance has always been tough for teachers. More than ever it seems to blend endlessly. Except now its done in the greatest isolation possible. Hang in there teachers! whether you are stressed out, haven't slept in days, or cried out, we see, appreciate & love you!

[Hamish Brewer @brewerhm]

This is not the time to stretch our educators thin, it’s not the time to put undue stress or irresponsible mandates & expectations on them. They are doing a sensational job for students! All the time needing to be just as sensational for themselves, their families & loved ones!

@ToddWhitaker, thank you for today’s session on leading during difficult times! You are amazing!!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I think effective teachers are not driven by the standards; they’re driven by the needs of their kids. They understand the curriculum and they teach what is required but it’s always in the context of understanding where their students are, and what it takes to move them forward.

Who’s in your circle of influence? Surround yourself with people who are on a path of joy, purpose, and growth.

Don’t ever attach yourself in a significant way to those who would steal your joy, mock your purpose, or hinder your growth.

@msprincipalboss Great picture!!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

If you work in a school, you are important to more than just the kids. Staff morale is not usually a function of the students… but of the level of support, encouragement, trust, respect, and camaraderie that exists among the adults in the building.

A10. Next school year, I want to see students exude confidence and be comfortable identifying and sharing their strengths with others. #GastonReads #InnovatorsMindset

[Jaime A Wallace @LeadwLove2]

A9. To involve the community you must KNOW your community. Get out there, visit local businesses & faith-based partners, invite them to see what your school is about, share the vision, and gather input from a variety of stakeholders. #GastonReads #InnovatorsMindset

[Jaime A Wallace @LeadwLove2]

A8. Lead your classroom in such a way that you are empowering students. I love the quote on page 98 that reads, "Our job as educators and leaders is not to control others but to bring out the best in them." #GastonReads #InnovatorsMindset

[Jaime A Wallace @LeadwLove2]

A7. Innovative leader strengths: always focused on relationships and empathetic. Areas of growth: visionary. I really struggle with articulating that greater vision. #GastonReads #InnovatorsMindset

[Jaime A Wallace @LeadwLove2]

A6. Empowering others to take risks means establishing an environment where teachers constantly feel supported and where you, as the school leader, model taking risks. It's all about the relationships you have with the people in your building. #GastonReads #InnovatorsMindset

When teachers do excellent work, administrators should complement them. When students do excellent work, teachers should complement them. We shouldn’t go home with complements left unsaid. We all need encouragement.
