Research shows that greeting students at the door increases engagement, decreases misbehavior, and promotes a sense of belonging. https://t.co/rv2OJOOSEt

Our schools need visitor protocols, updated security systems, and even security guards. All of those things will help adults feel better about keeping kids safe.

Kids won’t feel safe unless we have personal relationships and connections with them. Their souls must feel loved.

Student interview day. Honoring their thoughts, stories and voices by giving them time to speak freely builds empathy. Tomorrow I will be a better teacher to them because of today. One of my favorite days of the year. @westcampus_cs @Yennesclass

It’s not the thought that counts...it’s the action on the thought that counts. We’re all in this together.

Work-life balance sets an unrealistic expectation of keeping different roles in steady equilibrium.

Instead, strive for work-life rhythm. Each week has a repeating pattern of beats—job, family, friends, health, hobbies—that vary in accent and duration.
