No program in the school will ever exceed the passion of the adults implementing it.

[Mrs. Hocking @hocking214]

Absolutely!

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Do you agree? 🤔

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This is truth! 🙌

The school house should not be a place where anyone feels defeated.

Teacher morale is not tricky. Involve them. Support them. Recognize them. Value them.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Ok team, here goes the new Face-to-face, Hybrid, Virtual, and Asynchronous schedule!! Let’s go and get’em! 🙃

[Mrs. Hocking @hocking214]

@jimknight99 Spending time with my family and our animals. Especially our new puppies.

[Mrs. Hocking @hocking214]

Report card assessments via zoom one-on-one aren’t ideal, but I am finding joy in my one-on-one time with each student. Plus I am still seeing growth. Teaching and learning is still happening. Is it easy? No. Is it ideal? No. Is it perfect? No. Is it still my passion? Yes!

Gonna spend the next couple hours signing thank-you notes in my new novel. So many people supported this journey!

Want a copy? I might have a couple left over...

Just reply or DM. #Grateful

[Mrs. Hocking @hocking214]

Even in survival mode, I am learning and growing everyday. Being reflective helps recognize areas for growth.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

For my teacher friends... how do you intentionally get better at your job? I realize right now, y’all are in survival mode...just trying to keep your head above water. But in a normal year, how do you become more effective? What works best for you in your own professional growth?

A6 I think we need to extend grace. We need to acknowledge that everyone will have covid moments. Few people are at their best right now, and we need to do what we can to make their lives easier. #educoach

[Mrs. Hocking @hocking214]

Yes 🙌🏼

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Educators...

When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you.

The misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth.

Be brave, be honest, stand tall and stay above it.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Remember when you were little and you’d fall on the trampoline and everyone would keep jumping so you couldn’t get back up?

Teaching has felt like that lately. Especially when teaching virtually!

[Mrs. Hocking @hocking214]

I think it’s imperative we teach our young people that a differing of opinions doesn’t need to result in hatred.

"Before coming to Finland, I had embraced the idea of bringing experts into the classroom, but my vision, I admit, was quite narrow. Often I’d overlook the experts within the walls of my school building."
