It's about experiencing success through high expectations. Seeing then can makes all the difference.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When a student fails a quiz, or a test, or a project… what would compel that student to get it turned around for the next one? I’ll tell you one thing: the relentless encouragement and support of a teacher.

Thanks for never giving up on your students.

[Jen Jones @helloliteracy]

Actual transcript:

Principal: Can you help us with reading interventions?

Me: How many students are receiving Tier 2 interventions?

Me: How many students in your school?

Me: That’s not a Tier 2 problem, that’s a Tier 1 problem.
