The difference between a servant leader and a transactional leader? A servant leader will remove responsibilities from your plate before adding more. A transactional leader will get you a bigger plate.

Making math relevant really does make a difference in engagement! I loved watching them work together!

A Teasley MS student was saved from choking on a Life Saver by two life-savers of his own! Counselor Adina Walker & teacher Jason Sirard came to the rescue of Kane Chandler when they saw him in distress. More: https://t.co/eC77D6lgTI #CCSDfam #CCSDunited #SafeCherokee @tmsinfo

Piling on work doesn’t equate to learning, especially if some kids don’t have adequate parental support at home. Make it manageable, use common sense, and find ways to give learners valuable feedback. It’s not how much is assigned, with the quality of what’s assigned.

Learned about these FREE online resources that go with Jen Serravallo’s Reading and Writing Strategies books at her training this week. Thought it was worth sharing out for those who might be interested. Here’s the link. @mgrant_ils @CherokeeSchools @OGESeagles @JSerravallo

There are about 95 essential things you need to know in life. The first is to be kind. The others you can figure out as you go.

#ThoughtForTheDay I never realized when I became an educator how much of a toll it would take on me emotionally to work w/kids. Grateful for those who are working in schools & living those Kleenex moments, shedding tears worrying about your kids. They know you care! #Culturize

From Christmas Around the World to Pancakes with Santa, it was a busy and wonderful day at Clayton! #cesfam #cougarnation #futureready #ccsdfam

Just because something is on Teachers Pay Teachers doesn’t mean it is a good resource. It is incumbent upon all educators to be critical consumers (and producers) https://t.co/iRnT8D2jV6 #edchat #cpchat #supchat #edutwitter

Response for, “You can’t make me.”

“You are right. I can’t. Only you can make yourself. I believe in you. I am here to help. Good luck trying.”

Nod. Smile. Walk away.

Admin, make time to visit classrooms daily, give out at least five praises per day and ask your staff these questions.

How are you doing?
How can I help you?

Then really Listen... and do all you can to help.

[Brian Mendler @BrianMendler]

Response for “I don’t care:”

“I hear ya. I didn’t care about a lot of things I was forced to learn in school either. Today, just for fun let’s pretend you cared. If you did, what would you say then?”
Repeat multiple times if need be.

Five relationship building tips:

1. Be respectful to disrespectful kids.
2. Be there when things are bad.
3. Ask questions.
4. Required time spent w kid does not count.
5. Criticize (& praise) privately.
