I asked my 12 year old nephew who his favorite teacher is. He mentioned a teacher’s name and said: “She is always walking around with a smile...so I think, ‘man, she must enjoy her job.’”
Kids notice.
“Don’t ask if you are leading. You are. Don’t ask if you’ll make a difference. You will. The question is, what kind of leader will you be and what kind of difference will you make.” - DuFour & Marzano, Leaders of Learning (2011). @SolutionTree#atplc
Over ten years ago someone showed me this idea: if you have to give tests, staple a blank page and title it " here's all the stuff I know abt this topic but the test didn't ask me abt it "- and see what they write ( or even draw!) #Satchat
