Good school culture is never a fluke. It results from educators who love their job and make decisions based on the best interests of kids!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Most great teachers didn’t start out that way! But…

1) They reflected on what worked and what didn’t.

2) They learned from their colleagues.

3) They always kept their focus on the students.

Every teacher can be a BETTER teacher!

In 2020 it feels like we’re living in pot of boiling water. When placed in the pot an 🥚 is hardened. A 🥕 is weakened. Don’t be like either. Instead be like the coffee bean. It transforms the water into ☕️. You have the power inside you to transform your environment.

Positive energy is contagious too. Share it!

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

When I find myself in tough conversations,
when I am being held accountable,
when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —
This is my mantra.

It’s been a game-changer.
Less armor. More learning.

Every politician should be required to spend one day in an elementary school, one day in a middle school, and one day in a high school before they can say what teachers can or can’t do.

And shadow during that day the principal, teachers, cafeteria, arts, nurse, librarian, etc.

No matter how different next year looks, relationships and mental health will always be the most important factors for student success. 🙌

You don’t have to be an administrator, grade level chair, or department head to be a leader in you school. Your title doesn’t matter. You just need to care about making it better.

Passion and commitment can transform any culture.

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

When we hit that wall, sometimes courage looks like scaling it or breaking through it. AND, sometimes courage is building a fort against the wall and taking a nap.

Hard days are real because this is hard.

Stay awkward, kind and brave enough to rest and feel,
❤️👊❤️, BB

If you want to change your situation you must first change your thoughts. Because if you keep on thinking what you have been thinking you’ll keep on getting what you have been getting.

[Jennika Miller @jmiller715]

Yes!
