My daughter 17 year old daughter just told me she got a smiley face on her AP Stats paper. She liked it!

Don’t ever underestimate the value of smiley faces!

[Salome Thomas-EL, Ed.D @Principal_EL]

Caring and engagement matters! Positive relationships with students build trust for them with teachers and admins…and develops interest and excitement in school! This is what opens their minds to learning! Tell them you loved them before you ever met them! #SEL #education #LOVE

We have to stop giving power to negative people. It hurts the morale of everyone else. #MLDSchat

Sometimes kids push their boundaries. That’s what they do. Most adults were kids once. It’s good to remember.

We hold kids accountable… but we still can show grace; we can still demonstrate compassion; and we always respect their dignity.

I can think of very little that teachers do, that is more important … than communicating to students that they matter.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Please remember that all those interactions you have with your students outside of the lesson really matter. The smiles… the eye contact… the jokes, the fist bumps… and the silliness…they’re all important. They remind kids that they matter. Those moments can mean the world.
