High turnover in schools often isn’t just about pay. Teachers and staff rarely leave jobs where they feel valued, supported, and treated as professionals. A positive culture of respect and appreciation makes all the difference.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

I can honestly say that I had no idea just how much teachers do—or how much they sacrifice—until I became one. I never truly understood the long hours, the emotional weight, the relentless dedication, or the deep love that keeps us going, even when the world seems against us.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Education says teachers need to use differentiation but uses standardized tests to create a cookie cutter student. Districts tell teachers to be innovative and creative but use a standardized eval to create a cookie cutter teacher. It's so frustrating, and now I want a cookie!

Did you know that curiosity is key for learning, memory retention, & creativity?
This week tip fosters curiosity while being a tool you can use for a brain break, a regulation strategy, or as a lesson hook. The best part is it's already prepared for you!
