Never shut the door on a student; regardless of what poor choice they make.
There should always be another chance & there should always be room for redemption.
The worst response we can have is to close the door, lock it, & throw away the key.
The best schools follow a simple formula:
They ensure each adult team member feels valued, empowered & supported.
Because the best #schools know when adults feel this way, it’s so much easier for #students to feel this way.
The best schools have this in common:
The adults respect each other, value their colleagues’ contributions, encourage everyone to have a voice, have high professional expectations, and ensure everyone is acknowledged.
When you see someone doing good, take 30 seconds to tell them you noticed.
Make sure they feel good about doing good.
It’s these small gestures that provide fuel & energy to repeat the good in the future.
8 easy ways to positively impact #culture:
1). Greet people
2). Say please and thank you
3). Don’t micromanage
4). Share credit
5). Own failure
6). Be humble
7). Always be kind
8). Apologize
I’m convinced that the best way for schools to teach empathy, respect, tolerance & understanding, is to model these behaviors each & every day for our students.

The quality of the relationships of the adults in a school are often an indication of the overall health of the school #culture.
Take time to take care of each other.

You matter.
What you do matters.
What you say matters.
Your presence sends ripples through the world.
Make sure your students & colleagues know this too.
Each student deserves a teacher who will allow them to start anew & fresh each & every day. A clean slate is something we all deserve.
#edchat#education
Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name. Be the adult who speaks to each student by name.
Everyone loves to hear their name.
