Happy International Women's Day! To all the phenomenal women in our school district and beyond: You are strong, resilient, intelligent, beautiful, inspiring, and determined. Keep shining brightly, and never forget the incredible impact you have on the world around you!

Collective Teacher Efficacy requires more than just belief.
It requires 2 more things from us:
Commitment & Reflection

We commit to our practices & put them into action.
We look at the results of our active commitments & adjust accordingly.

That's the real efficacy we need.

Focused, targeted teacher reflection supports teacher learning.

Here is a question to ask of teachers engaged in the PLC process:
“Describe an instructional strategy you now use because a colleague got better results on a common formative assessment.”

P-rofessionals should be able to list several ways they are L-earning in C-ommunity.

The winter weather is upon us. Make sure you stay up-to-date when weather-related closures happen!

@trevormccue Trevor, this means more than I can convey. Thanks, buddy. Educators never fully know how long it may take 2 understand the impact of what they do for their students.
3 things I still believe as best path forward: treat others w/ respect, stay humble, and be your authentic self.

[Bill Dinkelmann @BDinkelmann]

@trevormccue @ZayBMF Yes, Sir! Fun to hear your take on things. Proud of you, young man.

We pored over nearly two dozen studies to reveal the fundamental levers that teachers can pull to make life-changing contributions to the lives of their students.

Thank you for all that you do. 🧡

Focus on anxiety and you’ll be anxious.
Focus on burnout and you’ll be burned out.
Focus on negativity you’ll be negative.

Focus on gratitude and you’ll be grateful.
Focus on peace and you’ll be at peace.
Focus on positivity and you’ll be positive.

You become what you focus on.
