Recovery thru acceleration, as opposed to deficit thinking focused on learning loss, empowers schools to develop a comprehensive plan to determine where learners currently are to help them get back on track and accelerate their learning https://t.co/a2TAUwXSQQ #edchat #suptchat

10 Rules for the Ride of Your Life

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

This is the time of year where fatigue and stress can begin to take its toll on educators. So, be kind, patient, and supportive of staff. colleagues, and even your admin because you never know what others may be going through. We need to check in and check on each other.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Every day we have a choice. Focus on the positive. Replace HAVE TO with GET TO and live life as a gift, not an obligation.

[Jimmy Casas @casas_jimmy]

#ThoughtForTheDay Every contribution, regardless of how big or small, is an opportunity to value what people bring to an organization. When we dismiss or fail to acknowledge students’, staff or volunteers’ efforts, we miss an opportunity to strengthen our culture. #Culturize

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Your legacy is not left in the things you leave behind but in the hearts and lives that you touch.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Signs of healthy school culture :
* clear/ shared vision
* people are priority
* communication is 2 way street
* trust
* team focus
*input/feedback from staff
* support/encouragement
* everyone is valued
* respect time
* self care
* let kids learn as kids (play, movement)

Just as stars shine the brightest in the darkness, Positivity shines the most through adversity.

It’s not rules but relationships that make an effective running classroom. But the relationships have to be built on routines, expectations, respect, relevance and responsibility.

[Hamish Brewer @brewerhm]

Flicking through Relentless & spotted this quote I wrote, its even more relevant today than ever before! We need to make our students mental health & well-being a greater priority than test scores!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I know we’re in a “kid business” … but it’s hard to be an effective administrator if you don’t love teachers too. They do the core work of the school, and it’s crucial that they feel valued and supported.

[Evan Robb @ERobbPrincipal]

The climate of a school is created by the relationships of all members of the school community. But, it is the principal who sets the tone. It’s the principal who can positively advance culture....and it’s the principal who can ruin it.

#ThoughtForTheDay Effective leadership requires getting others to work as a community of leaders rather than a committee of one. #Culturize

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

Leadership is not an expertise. Leadership is a constant education.

A critical job of middle-grade #elementary teachers is to support all children to build on their understanding of whole numbers and conceptualize fractions as part of the number system—but this teaching can be complex. Need resources? https://t.co/FTcvJHDXTv #iteachmath

#ThoughtForTheDay When a family reaches out to their child’s school in their time of need that signals that the culture of the school is what that family needs at that time. That is a beautiful thing. Every school should strive to be that place of connection. #Culturize
