Effective leaders like assertive teachers and help focus on developing their strengths and confidence. Ineffective leaders don't like assertive teachers and focuses on their weaknesses to keep their confidence low. Be the effective leader.

It's just as important for district leaders to be in schools as it is for school level leaders to be in classrooms.

Leadership is about relationships. When you get that right, your team will get the rest right.

Important reminder. 🙌

Did you know adults are more engaged and effective when they feel valued and their strengths are focused on. I guess adults also work harder for those they trust and know care for them.

The #1 priority of admin should be staff morale.
Everything else is secondary. Here's a few tips:
* give them a voice
* Trust them as professionals
* Treat everyone as individuals/ humans
* Respect their time
* Show them you care personal/professional
* celebrate/ appreciate

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

How you treat people says everything there is to say about you. It doesn’t matter how smart, accomplished, wealthy or cool you think you are. Strength of character is beyond any measure. Being a good person with a kind heart is what matters most & will benefit you for a lifetime!

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Kindness counts. 🧡

According to Education Week survey, since pandemic, 87% of teachers say that teaching is more stressful. Before pandemic, 13% said they were very likely to leave teaching within 2 years, since covid, 33% said they are very likely to leave. We have to start taking care of teachers

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Leaders, if you want the best staff this year, then support, encourage, appreciate, and celebrate them like they are the best.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Teachers rarely quit because of students. And they may give different reasons why they leave, but its almost always leadership and/or unrealistic work load.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

The focus should have always been about how to keep teachers instead of how to replace them.

Replacing them won't matter much if we can't keep them.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

The teacher shortages being reported around the country are staggering. If there has ever been a time for school boards, districts, and administrators to take care of teachers and staff, it is NOW. Remember, Morale reflects leadership.

This is why we're so exhausted. 💯

Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.
