Resist the culture of mediocrity https://t.co/PjO4H4ASp4

[Dr. Anael Alston @DrAAlston]

The soft bigotry of low expectations hurts the entire school community. #edchat #education

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

@BernieSanders is anyone talking about legislation to protect consumers from airlines? This is out of hand.

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

@Kwame_Emergency @LinkedIn It's been a mix, what a wild ride. Nonetheless, we teach the kids.

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

@BernieSanders Come back Bernie!

[Dave Paulsen @CoachPaulsen]

Staying silent isn't an option anymore. Be prepared & willing to hold uncomfortable tough conversations with family, friends & complete strangers regarding racism, inequality & social justice. Love one another more than you've ever loved & listen harder than you've ever listened.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

Shoutout to all the educators who view hallway duty, bus duty, lunch duty, and any other duty over the course of the day, as an opportunity to greet, speak with, and acknowledge students in a non-academic space.

There's so much opportunity during these moments. #edchat

[Dr. Anael Alston @DrAAlston]

As leaders, we are either agents of change or agents of the status quo. Choose wisely.

@MarkCCrowley One aught not strip potential followers of their of autonomy. Employees who don't feel trusted, don't feel empowered, won't be at their best.

Principle of Pivotal Practice #5 is the foundation for what we called the "Conflict Resolution Program" in my elementary and middle schools; Restorative Follow-up. #pivotalconversations

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Principle of Pivotal Practice #4, Scripting Difficult Conversations. Learning to communicate assertively, while leaving everyone's dignity intact. #pivotalconversations "there's nothing to be gained from a gladiatorial conflict" @RethinkingJames

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Soul-crushing advice: "manage your expectations". Things #IDontWant to hear when I believe "enough", simply isn't.

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

@RethinkingJames can you offer suggestions for how to encourage others to relentlessly pursue high expectations for students in an environment which seems content with mediocrity? @PivotalEd #pivotalconversations

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Establish a safe space and dissolve the implicit (and often damaging) discussion guidelines by replacing them with explicit child-friendly discussion guidelines.

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

How do you teach Ss in your classroom to engage in productive, exploratory, accountable talk? Is this intentional and explicit, or modeled, or both? #pivotalconversations #pivotaled @PivotalEd

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

"How can you succeed if you don't know the expectations" #pivotalconversations... How do we ensure that each S is fully aware of the expectations and have the opportunity to meet them? @PivotalEd

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Principle of Pivotal Practice #3, Teaching Learning Behaviours. Do the Ss know HOW to meet our expectations? #pivotalconversations #pivotaled @PivotalEd

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

"you get more of the behaviour that you notice" @RethinkingJames this one struck me. Principle of Pivotal Practice #2 First, Attention for Best Conduct #PivotalConversations #PivotalEd @PivotalEd

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Principle of Pivotal Practice #1 "Consistent, calm adult behavior" is about modeling. Great Ape see, Great Ape do. #pivotalconversations

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

What if we replaced the words "challenging behaviour" with "distressed behaviour". Would that change our response to S actions? #pivotalconversations @PivotalEd

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Perhaps the previous tweet was a critical response to an adaptive behaviour. 🤔 #reflection

[Garrett A. Hayes @Mr_Applegate]

Looking around the room, those least likely to participate in the #pivotalconversations are the same who I believe are the biggest obstacles to positive change. How can we inspire resistors to "shake it off"?
