Good principals bring out the best in their teachers.  Those teachers are not driven to comply; they’re inspired to grow.

Now more than ever, we must raise our voices to push back against mandate-imposed dictates under the guise of lifting our schools when it's actually turning them into a one-size-fits-all-so -do-what-you're-told factory.' Please stand up and speak up in any way you can!

6 tips to reduce stress of staff.
1) If you ask to meet with staff member, let them know why.
2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff.
3) Praise a lot more than you critique
4) Fewer meetings
5) More encouragement/support
6) Encourage self care

Leaders, teachers, and staff, remember you are not in competition, but you're on the same team! Encourage, inspire, and support each other! Build each other up and cheer each other to greatness. It's the power of "WE".

#Students who set their own goals and get regular feedback on progress have higher levels of achievement in general, beyond only the #goals they set (Hattie, 2009; Henderlong, et al., 2007). Here’s a template.

We've always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Etc. But they've been removed or reduced to spend more time on testing, & then we wonder why students lack social/emotional skills to self regulate, focus, & reduce stress.

“I’m calling on the Times and other media to report the whole story…why are we letting public relations spin doctors shape literacy policy while ignoring what major researchers have to say?”

Many thanks @Presnell4KY for the kind words. I was that secondary teacher who knew how to teach literature, but not how to teach older students to read. What I love about teachers is that we always want to learn more! @HeinemannPub

Today I was doing an author talk at a middle school when a lockdown was called. I asked the girl nearest to me what to do. I explained that I'd never done a lockdown before. She looked at me in disbelief and said, "Did you grow up in America?"

You never know who you’re gonna run into in the “Canned Tomatoes” aisle of Target in the middle of Idaho…

Kingston caught the final ball of my pre-game catch at Lumen Field against the Seahawks.

His friend saw me at Target, told him I was here and he ran here.

Crazy!!

While in school, we measure success with grades, only to realize that the real value is in LEARNING TO LEARN and CRITICAL THINKING.

After school, we measure success by how much money you made, only to realize that how you spend TIME, and with whom, is most important.
