@iswil65 @WCPS72 @AldaLovell Interested in your “people services”. Who would that include and what is their role?

Advice learned from my mom, a 37 year retired educator: “If you always do what’s best for kids there will always be a place for you in education. You will also piss some people off along the way. Get used to it.” Tag a teacher who always does what’s best for kids👇.

One of the most telling attributes of an effective leader is that they bring out the best in those they lead. They raise morale and confidence of their staff. Imagine what a staff can do when they feel valued.

Has anyone done or explored some creative scheduling shifts in high school that they might share?

I am Pandemic tired.

It's easier to admire resilience in others than to recognize it in ourselves.

We often underestimate ourselves because we see other people's outer strength, but not their inner struggles.

We all have doubts. Questioning your resolve doesn't make you weak. It makes you human.

Love is the ultimate driver of grit and excellence:

1. If you love it, you’ll work hard to become great at it.
2. If you love what do you you won’t give up.
3. If you love your team you won’t quit on them.
4. Love casts out fear and fuels you.

Do your students seem young? Keep lessons short and reduce whole class instruction. Keep work groups small and assign partners. Meet students where they're at. Teach the kids you have--not the ones you used to have. #SEL #edchat https://t.co/rUGippt0Tp

Principals want teachers to be sensitive to the “WHOLE child.”

Well principals need to be sensitive to the “WHOLE teacher.”

Maslow’s theory was not just about kids; it applied to ALL humans.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people say "I can't change," what they often mean is "I don't want to change."

The greatest barrier to adjusting behavior isn't a lack of skill. It's a lack of will.

Motivation fuels capacity. Before you teach people how to alter their habits, they need to find the why.

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.
