This still gives me chills.
Carl Sagan demonstrates how the Greeks figured out the Earth was round and correctly calculated its circumference — 2,000 years ago:
Teachers, never lose sight that your students are a work in progress & not a finished product. Some will become titans of industry, war heroes, sports star, public servants, or even a mechanic, & they all need adults to be patient, believe in them, and help bring out their best!
Teachers w few behaviors have the following in common:
1. Provides very little down time.
2. Mingles w kids before class.
3. Asks lots of questions.
4. Rarely gets offended.
5. Switches up teaching styles.

#ThoughtForTheDay Try to avoid addressing matters of concern to an entire class or faculty when only a few are not meeting the expectations you’ve set forth. Your best students & staff will resent it. Always address violators individually. #Culturize#LiveYourExcellence
I know it sounds like I preach at admin a lot. & the truth is I do. Teachers need all the support & encouragement they can get. Gallup polls say 25% feel bullied & most leave because of their admin. If I can help admin focus more on staff morale & appreciation, I am doing my part
Betsy DeVos’ budget proposal is a disgrace, and it’s the opposite of what our students and teachers need.
We should be investing in our kids and our future, not cutting 10% of education funding across the board.
