This is so so true! As a society we are very guilty of this.

[HighFive @HighFiveK12]

One of the worst things we can do for a child is lower our expectations because we feel bad or sorry for them.

Instead, have high expectations for them and give them the additional supports and scaffolds needed to get there. High expectations are needed for ALL. #teachergoals

This is so true!!

[Ken Patterson - The Kairos Mind | Future. Framed. @Ken_Patterson]

If an administrator only enters the classrooms for 'observational' purposes, then it'll always feel like a "gotcha" to the teacher.

If an administrator instead drops encouragement, inspiration, and relational time, then it'll feel like "I gotcha back!"

Gotcha Back > Gotcha.

@Elmwoodlibrary They talked about it all day!

Awesome perspective from our 5th grade teachers. #TeamAult #WednesdayWisdom #KidsDeserveIt

If you’re a teacher… don’t assume your students know you care about them. You gotta show ‘em… every day. If you’re an administrator... don’t assume your teachers know you support them. You gotta show ‘em… every day.

[Cheri Wyatt @c_cwyatt]

@KileyOHara4 Love them! Such a cool idea!

[Cheri Wyatt @c_cwyatt]

This is so important for every student!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Some kids carry around with them the burden of a bad reputation. Be the teacher who gives them a fresh start. Be the teacher who sees in them the potential that their parents see. YOU can be the teacher that helps them “turn the corner.”

Love this!

Gmorning.
Bring every bit of yourself into the room.
What you've got from the family you're from,
What you've got from the families you've chosen.
Your willingness to listen, your longing to be heard.
Your courage, your vulnerability.
The best of you, all of you, let's go

@Jess_Keating @Elmwoodlibrary Wow! What a way to suck the joy out of reading! I would have to discuss this philosophy with that teacher!

[Cheri Wyatt @c_cwyatt]

@RMcDermott914 Loved that book! I just read it at the beach!

[Cheri Wyatt @c_cwyatt]

@MrsWrightBCPS @bcps_par Have a great year! The new teachers really need some kind supportive CT’s!

Love this!

What school needs to consist of during the first two weeks:
✔️Build Community
✔️Observe social behaviors
✔️Establish procedures
✔️LOTS of reading aloud
✔️Explicitly teach empathy
✔️4 min 1:1 time with each kid
✔️Call each family

[Cheri Wyatt @c_cwyatt]

This is so true! Form your own opinions! Your relationships can be so different.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Don't ask other teachers for what kids were trouble last year...ask them which kids need more support and advice on what they did that worked best. #MindFlip #teachergoals
