This goes for teachers with their students too!

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

Relationship building is the most important thing you will do all year. Once you have those relationships, you can do and try anything in the classroom and the kids will happily ride along with you and will forgive, even if you are not perfect.

Amen. 🙌🏻

@BaynesHeidi Putting my hat in, eek!

You never know how you will connect with a kid. This is why it’s important to have a diverse staff so each kid can see themselves in their positive roles models. #SanJacintoDifference #teacher #Isawmyself #theyarepayingattention

#IACUE19 share! Someone is looking for what you possess. What do I have that I can share?

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

Attending #IACUE19 today! I’m excited to learn about going fully digital and about digital Interactive Note-booking! Hello @BaynesHeidi.

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

This weekend I’m stepping back to really look at my gradebook. Is it really a measure of proficiency or a measure of a student’s ability to do work? Shouldn’t a gradebook measure proficiency instead of the ability to do work?

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

@pedro_caro2 Some kids are already used to being called by the Americanized name by middle school and have given up on being called by their actual name. As educators, we should INSIST on saying their name correctly, even if it takes a few corrections.

Thank you @SouthCoastAQMD and Eric Holden for helping our district protect our kids!

Man, it was so hot in San Jacinto, CA today (118 degrees) that when I left my McDonald’s sweet tea in the car I knew the ice would melt. Dude, after my 3 hour speech the whole cup was empty! The whole thing evaporated! Insanity!

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

@mrronclark_ Thank you for coming and inspiring us all!!You hit us during an extra hot day. #inspired

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

@teacher2teacher It is normal to have first- day jitters and not sleep well the night before. Focus on why you are there and build those relationships and class culture. Have fun but be as prepared as possible. This is an amazing career!!

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

@tmaclfo @alicekeeler @tmaclfo I love this! The format is so student friendly too and a change from the typical boring mess that a syllabus normally is. Can I use it as inspiration as I redo mine?

[Hillary Holden @hholden22]

@teacher2teacher This is how I'll be setting up for #observeme this year. I have a feedback for staff and one for students. It will put me in a vulnerable spot, but I'm excited to learn and grow w/input from my incredible colleagues @SanJacintoUSD https://t.co/Q6AoqE3j79

As you head into the new school year, reconnect with "what got you into education in the first place" by answering educator @jmattmiller's question: What my Ss really need from me is _________________.
