The bosses we remember:

1 provided us a safe space to grow
2 opened career doors
3 defended us when we needed it
4 recognized and rewarded us
5 developed us as leaders
6 inspired us to stretch higher
7 led by example
8 told us our work mattered
9 forgave us when we made mistakes

Flicking through Relentless & spotted this quote I wrote, its even more relevant today than ever before! We need to make our students mental health & well-being a greater priority than test scores!

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us.

They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

@darrenfife I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains not far from the Shenandoah River. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is our theme song. This tweet made me smile.

I wish we would focus less on testing and evals and school boards would focus a little more on grace to school staffs, students, and families. So many are still dealing with effects of the pandemic, such as job loss, family member loss, sickness, depression, & financial strains.

I think my teacher evaluations for the year are done, goes something like this: You pivoted, adapted, you were flexible & persevered, you were resilient, you showed grace, you worked your tail off & you did it! Thank you, thank u! What educators have accomplished is unbelievable!

Perspective- be thankful, make sure we are focusing on being present in the moment, focused on the things we do have and not what we don’t have!

As educators we are not just working from home - we are working from home during a crisis. We need to continue to maintain perspective, sensitivity and understanding! The resiliency of educators right now is inspiring!
