Behavior is a symptom of an issue that needs to be discovered.

When the check engine light comes on, you don’t punish your car. You take it to the shop to figure out the issue and repair it.

[The Principal’s Office @educator4ever36]

To all the educators I’m seeing on Twitter doing all of these amazing things to get ready for next year - please make sure you stop long enough to recharge and reset. A great bulletin board or amazing exit ticket system will never make the same impact as a rested teacher.

(1/11) Pulling together a few resources white educators can use to start antiracist work in one specific subcategory: your school's approach to behavior management. There's plenty to do there. If you haven't already, start looking deeply at it now before the school year starts.

The best teachers figure out how to handle their frustrations without complaining. They have challenges... but they don’t dwell in negativity.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Effective teachers are not naive about their challenges... but they focus on what they can control — the quality of their instruction to students and the quality of their interaction with students.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I’ve noticed students tend to like those classes where the teacher takes a personal interest in them. Some things are not hard to figure out.

[Nathan Lang-Raad, Ed.D. @drlangraad]

I asked a teacher recently, “What is the best Professional Development you’ve ever had?” He said, “it was when the principal gave us time to collaborate.”

Let’s not forget what teachers need most.
