To improve teacher capacity over time in a sustainable way requires more than training or #profdev. It's more about mindset, #curiosity, and a sense of progress and #belonging @TeachThought https://t.co/0OtP9WHVxJ #edchat #teaching #cpchat #edadmin #growthmindset

The best ways we can safeguard teachers from burnout:
1. Value and respect them
2. Provide opportunities for them to grow in ways they want to grow
3. Promote creativity and say "yes" to their creative ideas

Wise teachers follow the child, because the informed observation of a child's reading behaviors will always tell knowledgeable Ts what instruction is needed.” @ruswalsh https://t.co/bzP19YCuvf
