If there were 3 questions you could ask regularly it would drive us to a more empathetic world: 1. How are you feeling? 2. How might someone think about this differently? 3. What did you do for others today? @houstonkraft #wholechildvirtualsummit

“Kindness without listening almost always serves me more than it does the person on the far side. If I haven’t effectively tried to understand what you need then I’m offering kindness that makes me feel good but doesn’t help you in any meaningful way.” - @houstonkraft

“The thing that is important in the context of education, is that we can improve that, as I grow in my emotional awareness, I can better understand that in others.”- @houstonkraft #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh

“The beauty of being part of a team, is that the team can keep things running while you tend to yourself. We have to remind ourselves of that.” - @suptenfield #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh

“People who work with children set high standards for themselves & rightfully so. Some days our best isn’t going to be good enough & that’s okay. All you can do is get up the next day, show up, and try again.”- @suptenfield #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YzpyH

I appreciate people who are willing to change their mind. It reflects intellectual humility, courage, and honesty. It reflects a willingness to consider new evidence, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. We need more of that.

“We have to figure out what is important. They say we forget 95% of what we learned in elementary, middle, and high school, so maybe 30% of it we could not do at all and replace it with what can really help kids get through life.” - @marcbrackett #wholechildvirtualsummit

“Nobody likes the pain and the struggle it takes to change sometimes, but changing your life might be what you need to have more joy down the road.“ - @AmyMorinLCSW #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh

“You can do lots of things to build mental muscles. It can prevent a lot of mental health problems, but it doesn’t guarantee that you won’t develop one & just because you have one, doesn’t mean you’re weak.“ - 🙌@AmyMorinLCSW #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh

“What exactly is mindfulness? I define it as paying attention to our inner & outer life as it unfolds while being grounded in our body, breathing & senses so that our mind can settle, & we can cultivate a curious, open hearted presence and awareness of interbeing.” @SELEveryDay

“If you’ve lost your way you’ve lost your will now what you do is your work, and no one really loves work in the truest sense of the word work. You need to go back and get your why.” - @PrincipalKafele #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh

Time is so precious in education!

“I can’t control how people speak about me, but all I can do is treat you with such respect and dignity that if other people say bad things about me, there’s a chance you won’t believe them.”-@ToddWhitaker #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh

[Mrs. Windle @Windle4th]

“I went to my best teacher & asked what I do when a kid is sent to the office she said: 1.Treat it like it’s a big deal, because it’s a big deal to the teacher, 2.Always have a consequence, 3. Always beat the kid home first, 4. Share w/ the teacher what you did - @ToddWhitaker

“The challenge when we went virtual overnight is we didn’t have a dress rehearsal, we just went to opening night.” - @ToddWhitaker #wholechildvirtualsummit https://t.co/5vjL4YR0Xh
