@kaitlancollins Trump is proving to the world right now just how unwell he is. This should be a defining moment for all Americans that we can no longer have him making any decisions for us!

[Colleen Frederick @ColleenFred]

@NBCNews Susie Wiles was way off on her suggestion for Trump to start these connections with the American people. He’s clearly not “getting” the message.

@thehill Once a cheater, always a cheater—women, finances, politically, golf… He creates scandals so he can cheat himself through them. It’s what makes him feel “ BIG”!

5 tips for building class climate:

1) Talk to kids when they walk into class.

2) Learn 1 thing about each student.

3) If you have to get on to a kid, do it privately.

4) Apologize when needed.

5) Don’t take yourself too seriously.

"Listening to staff was essential in infusing SEL and strategies throughout the school day—and our teachers ultimately drove the creation of a system that helps them get to know students better," say @chris_wyland and @hertel_sara in #PrincipalMag. https://t.co/0boj5nD9gV @NAESP

All teachers giving their ALL! Yes, they do!

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

I hope no one thinks for a second that teachers teaching remotely aren't giving their all just like those teaching in person. Teachers give their all for their students, not their surroundings!

Relationships matter.

[Katie Martin @katiemartinedu]

Adding more content, more assignments, and more meetings will not enable us to create something better if we don’t pause and focus on what matters most.

I couldn’t agree more!

[Justin McMillan @justinwmcmillan]

“When planning lessons, you must take who your students are into consideration. You must infuse their story into your lessons. Your lessons must be culturally relevant, responsive, and sensitive for all of your learners.”
