Psychology says

[Power of Positivity @LIVEpositivity]

People who feel the need to control others, don't have control over themselves.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Feeling nervous doesn't mean you're unprepared. It means you care about something beyond your control.

Anxiety is a caricature artist. It magnifies flaws and minimizes strengths.

Gaining confidence is not about denying what could go wrong. It’s about recognizing what might go right.

Greenback baseball falls against University High tonight 9-2 ending their season. A very talented Greenback squad left their mark but can’t get the job done to force a game three.

Bless the coaches who hold all kids accountable for grades, conduct & behavior. Never doubt that choosing discipline over a win is the right thing. It matters. That example says that regardless of how good a player is, he/she will be held to a very high standard. That’s powerful!

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

When we say, "Low Kids," then we:

Think they're low
Believe they're low
Treat them as low.

But then we're disappointed when they eventually perform low?

Sounds like we may be the ones who are "low."

We set the expectations kids rise or fall to meet.
It starts with us.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Everyone loves the idea of accountability until they are held accountable.

Everyone loves the idea of feedback until they are given feedback they don’t agree with.

If you are about getting better, you have to embrace the uncomfortable moments.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Important reminder! 🙌

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You don't control your circumstances.
You don't control your boss.
You don't control your teammates.
You don't control your competition.

You control your effort.
You control your mindset.
You control your attitude.
You control your decisions.

You control you. Focus on that.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Habits are not built in a day.
Habits are built EVERY DAY.

Mindset is not built in a day.
Mindset is built EVERY DAY.

Culture is not built in a day.
Culture is EVERY DAY.

Success is not built in a day.
Success is built EVERY DAY.

Now that school's settling in, remember there are NO:
SPED kids
504 kids
EIP kids
RTI kids
Tier kids
Low kids
Those kids
This kid or
______ kids.

They are ALL kids who can learn high levels.
Treat them that way.

The second you slap a label on them, you treat them otherwise.

Micromanagement is an aggressive leadership style which doesn't just affect the present; it fosters an environment of fear and tension, stifling risk-taking, open discourse, and individual potential. This impedes the school's capacity to progress and attain its fullest potential
