“Recordemos que las palabras matan tanto como las balas. Por eso debemos hacer todo lo posible para invertir en los jóvenes para que la próxima generación pueda entender la importancia de vivir en paz”. (Adama Dieng, asesor ONU Prevención del Genocidio) #LaEscuelaAbrazaLaVerdad👇

One of the first steps in connecting with a challenging student… is to LIKE them, rather than “put up” with them. It’s amazing how the attitude of the adult can affect the attitude of the kid.

Empathy tops the list of what leaders must get right. https://t.co/WlcHXuJ1sj

I’ve always said we teachers need to be more micro-ambitious. Instead of ‘we need to change X in the whole school’, let’s focus on ‘trying out X in my classroom for 7 weeks and see’.

Teachers… I wonder what your students are coping with at home this weekend.

Principals… I wonder what your staff is coping with at home this weekend.

It will matter when we see them on Monday.

Find and follow your passion is a load of crap.

Expecting to find something where everything clicks from the get go and is all good from there on out is a surefire way to never be happy.

Pursue your interests. Stay curious. Hone a craft. Passion emerges over years, not seconds.

Feeling the stress

[Juan Saavedra @jumasaa]

@EddieWhiteJr Hang in there Eddie your work is great and appreciated

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I had a colleague check on me today. She said: “You ok? I don’t feel like your energy level is the same.” I told her I was just feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment.

We all feel overwhelmed from time to time, and we all need to be checked on.

We can all be that colleague.
