STUDY: Greeting students at the door increases engagement by 20% and reduces disruptions by 9%—effectively adding 1 hour of learning per day. https://t.co/d5URKROmmF

Sometimes, the most valuable thing educators provide for their students, is the structure, stability, and support that they don’t get at home.

Having a quiet class doesn't make you a good teacher and having a loud class doesn't make you a bad teacher, or vice-versa. It is not about the noise level. What does the learning look like? #pdpn

Teacher goals.

My 13 year old daughter has talked for several years about how much she loved her 5th grade teacher. I asked her what she liked about her. Her response: “She liked US!” So simple… yet so profound. Kids gravitate to the teachers that like them. They can tell.

"We forget that our responsibility isn’t solely to teach memorization or the mechanics of a task but to spark a curiosity that empowers students to learn on their own.

To wonder.

To explore.

To become leaders."

Kids don’t gravitate to subjects. They gravitate to teachers. #TeachersMatter

Please reflect before giving your final exams. Can everything your asking on the test be found in a Google search? Is the purpose a grade? Memorization? If you answered yes to these - rethink, repurpose, and rewrite the assessment. #JoyfulLeaders #BeyondMeasure

I appreciate empathetic educators. Their job is more stressful... because they feel the pain and struggles that their students endure. But their job is infinitely more rewarding... because they are the ones, who truly touch the lives of their students.

I’m about halfway through the book #InnovatorsMindset, and this quote hit me. Hard. @gcouros

💭 3 Questions all students should be able to answer about the learning. ⚖️ I, personally, need to focus on this!
What will be the evidence of learning and is it varied and valuable?? Hmmm? 🤔

[Cheryl Smith @SraCSmith]

Letter grades don’t communicate whether kids are proficient or need tier 2 support. We must use the standards if we want our interventions to support real learning. #RTIaw @SolutionTree @SaydelCSD

The measure of a school is not just how well students do on standardized tests, both whether or not kids love and appreciate learning. The latter is a better indictor of future success.

Why is it okay to have students redo courses they fail, but not okay to have them redo assignments and assessments that they fail?

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Sometimes, school is hard… for the kids AND adults. Teachers deal with all sort of challenges… from overcrowding, to unruly kids, to difficult parents. Staff members who rise above the adversity and remain positive are leaders... and they have a HUGE impact on the culture.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

The best teachers have 3 things in common:
1. They are all about the kids.
2. They are relentless about
getting better.
3. They are always positive.
