What a great night honoring a group of outstanding seniors! We wish you all the best in your endeavours! @MtMorrisCTE #GVEPride#SuccessStoriesWrittenHere
Please stop using the term “behavior problem” when referring to tough kids. Behaviors are not the problem. They are the solution(s) kids pick to their problems. Focus on what drives the behavior to truly fix it. #edchat#tlap#kidsdeserveit#TeacherLife#thatonekid#teacher
Fair means everyone gets what they need. Equal means everyone gets the same. Tell kids, “I promise to be fair which means I will not always treat you all exactly the same way.” Then be fair & stop worrying about treating them all the same way. #edchat#thatonekid#kidsdeserveit
Tomorrow pull your toughest kid aside & listen to him or her w no expectations. Ask questions w/out trying to get something from them or change something about them. Simply listen to them. #edchat#kidsdeserveit
Three strategies to avoid Power Struggles:
1. Stop needing the last word.
2. Hear what kids say instead of how they say it.
3. Walk away (physically & mentally).

Special thx to our S's who took initiative today to honor lives of Parkland,FL victims. Not a protest. No signs. Peaceful remembrance & inspiration to create change. What can u do today to make your school safe? #GVEPride@MtMorrisAcademy @MtMorrisCTE #NationalSchoolWalkout
Teach kids to focus on attitude & effort instead of outcomes. Outcomes happen to us. We all control are the attitudes we take & the effort we put in. #edchat#reallife
I believe I can reach any kid put in front of me. Do I reach every kid? Of course not. Do I believe? Yes. Do I? No. There’s a difference between believing & achieving. We must believe if we want the chance to achieve. #edchat
