Full house for CPI training. @lifeschools

@GregAbbott_TX How about pay teachers an honorable pay?

[Candace Johnson @JohnsonCand]

@GovAbbott @TPPF How about teachers raises? You will not have a choice, if there is no one to teach them.

[Candace Johnson @JohnsonCand]

@GregAbbott_TX What we really want is safety. Provide funding that will fund full school security.

Navy SEALs have a saying.

You may find it helpful.

When something sucks, they look at each other and say:

"FULL BENEFIT"

It’s an instant mindset shift.

• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?

FULL BENEFIT.

***

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity

The message is simple.

Every adversity is an opportunity.

• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better

These moments forge us if we let them.

The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.

Work through the process.

Learn the lessons.

Reap the full benefit.

This is our first spring in several years where high school principals are again aging at about three times the normal rate. There are few (zero?) things in education like being a high school principal after spring break
