@musk_news13 Hi

[Emily Paschall @EmilyAPaschall]

Such a powerful quote here. The reality is people won’t find fault in those who rest in the land of mediocrity. The people who endure the most criticism are highly motivated. As long as you are standing still, no one will complain.

Whether you are a teacher or in an administrative role…
🔹Don’t stand still.
🔺Take the leap.
🔹Try new things.
🔺And always do what’s best for kids, even when it’s hard.

Will you be criticized by some? Yes.
But is this leadership? Absolutely yes.

Remember…
Dogs don’t bark at parked cars…
…They bark at the cars who are moving.

Keep moving forward and keep doing what’s best for kids.

This is leadership.

[Ball is Psych @BallisPsych]

Michael Jordan was once asked what he thought his best skill was.

He didn’t say it was his ability to dunk from the free throw line or his scoring ability.

His answer: “I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.”

The easier you are to lead, the further you’ll go.

8 easy ways to positively impact the culture within your school:

1). Greet people
2). Say please and thank you
3). Don’t micromanage
4). Share credit
5). Own failure
6). Be humble
7). Always be kind
8). Apologize

I'm comfortable giving the student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the student who only needed 1 attempt.

'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'

Good teachers are gracious with their students. Good principals are gracious with their teachers. The world is a better place when we are all gracious with one another.

#ThoughtForTheDay Asking for help is not a weakness. It’s actually a sign of confidence, humility and self-awareness. Reach out and ask someone today, “Could you help me with this?” #LiveYourExcellence

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Great teachers take pride in connecting with their students. This connection converts to mutual respect, which is very helpful with student learning.
Teaching virtually makes having these necessary relationships extra difficult to develop...and it’s eating teachers up inside. 😔

[Ken Rowley @KenRowley]

This is what I call a 2X10. 2 minutes everyday for 10 days about something other than school. Build that relationship.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When you have a difficult, disrespectful, and defiant student, my biggest tip for you... is to have lots of conversations with them when they are not in trouble.

These conversations are where you build rapport... and that rapport makes future confrontations less likely.

[Chad Johnson @Chad_Johnson78]

I’m a slow learner but I’m becoming a firm believer in human connection. I get to witness its impact firsthand each day. Everyone needs human connection to thrive just as they need nutrients to live. This is real & I’m thankful to work with those who are showing me the way!

@goldmedalmind @HolmanHollie This has been one of my all time favorite quotes for many years. In life each decision we make is about choosing the pain we are willing to live with.

[Ken Rowley @KenRowley]
