I need to reframe my thinking on this!👇🏻

[Clay Cook @DrClayCook]

Feelings of not enough time in education is real. Time is a surrogate for lack of prioritization and focus, limited fluency/efficiency with doing something, competing demands, disruptions to work, and simply no protected time for thinking & planning. Time is a precious resource.

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

Wish I could have been here for this! @katpastor1 is such an INSPIRING speaker!

"The edge is in the inputs.

The person who consumes from better sources, gets better thoughts. The person who asks better questions, gets better answers. The person who builds better habits, gets better results.

It's not the outcomes. It's the inputs."

What an INCREDIBLE accomplishment!! CONGRATULATIONS @eduhistorian !!! 👏🤩🎉

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

@sansone_sci @CarlaShalaby Absolutely!♥️ Have a wonderful start to your year!😃

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

Thanks for sharing this @sansone_sci ! Such a great reflective tool as we start the school year. I really liked how @CarlaShalaby poised the question: “Does enforcing this rule require me to behave like a police officer or an educator?”

[Anna Sansone @sansone_sci]

This right here deserves a read if you’re a teacher ⬇️

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

@CharacterStrong Yes, please!! 🤩🫶

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

Yes! It is also important to spend time to find the root cause for the well-being of educators and staff!♥️

[Clay Cook @DrClayCook]

I see lots of well-intended efforts to promote teacher well-being during these times but most are missing the mark because they are not addressing the root causes. Just like we need to tailor solutions to the root causes of students’ needs, the same needs to occur for educators.

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

Time to make time to move!

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Your entire life happens inside your body. It's the one home you will always occupy and can never sell.

But you can renovate it.

If you can only pick one habit to build, exercise is probably the one. Everything is downstream from how your body is functioning.

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

YES!👇🏻

[Caletha @Caletha8]

Yes, thank you for sharing “School is about becoming the person you're meant to be through being in community and having experiences with others, learning who you are, learning how to be a person who shows up in a way that is good for others – and fractions and grammar.”

"The school counselor and administrator relationship has to be strong. If it is not strong right now, I would implore you to find ways to strengthen that relationship for the betterment of your students and your school.” @katpastor1 on a @characterstrong webinar #NSCW22

[Clay Cook @DrClayCook]

Educators tend to have full plates when new practices are introduced. Need to prioritize the new practices and take something off educators’ plates to make room (de-implement). Or, help educators see the new practices as an opportunity to improve something already on their plate

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

Looking forward to this! 👇🏻

[CharacterStrong @CharacterStrong]

Love this reframing of the way we think about solving a problem by asking the right question(s).

[Clay Cook @DrClayCook]

When a student struggles it is important to shift the question from:
"What is wrong with the student or what does the student have that I can name/label?"
to
"What is missing from the environment that the student needs from us that we have control over to implement?"

[Clay Cook @DrClayCook]

For both educators and students to engage and perform to the best of their capabilities, they need to BE WELL. To be well means one is socially well, emotionally well, physically well, & mentally well.

Creating the conditions for educators and students to BE WELL is a priority.

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

Yep. 👇🏻👇🏻

[Caletha @Caletha8]

Could not agree more 👇

Speaking my language with some visual literacy with regard to meeting the needs of all our students!👇🏻

Simple image reflecting a common way of talking about MTSS continuum of care logic where Tier 2 and Tier 3 are implemented in addition to Tier 1-not as a replacement
Customized Implementation Supports by @characterstrong specializes in resources to facilitate MTSS implementation

[itisjess77 @itisjess77]

What a great way to frame this!👇🏻

[Clay Cook @DrClayCook]

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is like an operating system on a computer that helps organize access based on needs to ensure 'each student' receives the experiences & support they need to be well, engage fully, and develop & grow
