Some of the most important work you’ll do today won’t be your lessons, your assessments, or your technology.

The most important work will be your encouragement of others, your connection with your students, and your passion for making a difference.

What you do matters.

Schools R not merely social settings, they R social training grounds. W/in large social settings, the brain establishes normative behaviors through the repeated practices of the majority. The social practices w/in the walls of every school establish a social template 4 the future

Shift from talking-at to talking-with:

Humility acknowledges the perspective and strengths of others.
Honesty explains issues without hidden agendas.
Curiosity asks, “What do you think?”
Don’t punish ignorance.

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

Whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning.

Be intentional about those learning conversations.

Be curious about what your students know.

Be curious about their perspective.

A quiet, compliant classroom is not a badge of honor.

[Principal Kafele @PrincipalKafele]

The socio-economic status of a child has zero to do with his intelligence...he may be hungry but he's simultaneously brilliant.

[Nathan Lang-Raad, Ed.D. @drlangraad]

Bloom never said students must always "know the basics" BEFORE engaging in higher order thinking. The assumption that students have to memorize factual knowledge before they can think critically will keep them from fully experiencing meaningful learning.

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

#SEL in action! A touching display of why we (adults) do what we do....it's all about the students! Thank you @EdgewoodMedia for the reminder! #edchat #kidsdeserveit

You make your school a better place. As you keep growing and getting better, your school will be better for it too. What you do matters! #satchat #FutureDriven

I’d rather feel uncomfortable pushing for better than feel uncomfortable settling for less. #chooseyourdiscomfort
