Our first Scholastic Book Fair in 5 years is ready to roll out on Monday. Feeling very excited about this!!

When students look at me with a puppy dog face and say: “This is hard,” I say, “That is fantastic. That feeling of ‘hard’ is the feeling of your brain developing, strengthening and growing”.

Administrators, Counselors and Teachers...when speaking to parents, please ask about sleep.

Mr. Keating whispered to his students... “Carpe Diem.” Seize the day. Well... it can be challenging to tackle an entire day. How about something like “Carpe Tempus.” Seize the moment! We all have lots of little moments every day where we can make a difference for someone.

A new Harvard study found NO EFFECT of changes in student growth from schools adopting different curricula.
Educational systems need to STOP adopting ‘the next best thing’ and START committing to help teachers use the curriculum as it was intended to be used. #QualityPD #EdChat

Today we began taking turns using iPads for read aloud using @storylineonline! https://t.co/JolWJIi5F5

This amazing site has actors reading aloud "old favorites" - check it out at home! @APSLiteracy @TCRWP #APSReads

There are so many good kids in our schools! Sweet kids who make good choices. But it’s easy for the adults in the building to get distracted, discouraged, or overwhelmed by the challenging kids. It’s important to recognize and value the students doing the right thing.

MALE TEACHERS: If you come across this, reply with why you became a teacher and why we need more male teachers. (teachers: 23% men and only 2% men of color) #realmenteach

72% of libraries have a chair that randomly appears in different places without any explanation

@kellywellread I use pool noodles cut down if needed to block off under the couch and coffee table. Big time saver!

[Jessica M Wright @JessicaMWright4]

While there are times I have to do school things on Sunday, I am learning to leave this day for me. Church, nap, a good book, and play time with this girl means I am better prepared to face the challenges this week will bring. #selfcare #scottishterriersofinstagram #livelife

I just told our six-year old about interlibrary loan.

Daughter: They’ll get you ANY book? Even if it’s ten miles away?

Dad: Even if it’s a thousand miles away!

Daughter: Librarians must be magic.

Dad: They have to be. They work with books.

Whole heartedly agree!!❤️

70% of teachers in the US say parents/guardians don’t have the right tools to be fully equipped in their child’s education. To help, we've added a new training to the Teacher Center to form a better relationship between the classroom and guardians ➡️ https://t.co/OS7JQ2lVo9

All set up and ready to go! Over the next few days, Shiloh Park Ss will take part in a special book tasting at the Roadrunner Cafe to explore different genres they may want to read this year. Can't wait to get them excited to read! #ZD6 #4theloveofreading #BeTheChange

As an instructional coach, I can attest to the validity of this statement. A lack of psychological safety between administrators and teachers impacts the learning outcomes for students.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I would also add... the level of fun that staff members have at work is often impacted by the level of fun that principals have in leading the school.
