The best teachers have 3 things in common: they are all about the kids; they are relentless about getting better; and they bring good energy into their classroom. .
Bullying shouldnโt be part of leadership. Thankfully most arenโt like this. But here are some of the signs of
bullying:
* lack transparency
* use title/ position as power
* tell instead of ask
* demeaning/disrespectful
* lack empathy
* refuse feedback/ input
* favors yes people
Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We prepare test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.
I love leaders who spend time and interact with their staff in the classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, after-school events, etc. Every interaction is building culture.
Notice, predominantly Black police responded to the #MontgomeryBrawl andโฆ
NO ONE WAS KILLED.
No one got shot.
No one had their neck knelt on.
No one got choked to death.
No one was beat within an inch of their life.
No one was made a hashtag.

Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash, especially for elementary grades. Let students go home to run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!
