Mama, wife, sistah, friend, Teacher!! I am an advocate for students & families! I am part of anti-racist work with #FIRE, & advocate for equitable practices โ๐ฝ
Itโs not about the actual gifts/certificates, etc. but about the community support! The overwhelming feeling of appreciation & acceptance is awesome! #BHMschools
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
Spend all week trashing and hating people, calling for public servants to be imprisoned, impeached, alternatively raging, fuming, and lying. Wake up Sunday and tweet a Bible verse. Back to the hate by noon.
These disgusting, inhuman cops from Crawford, Arkansas have been suspended for this horrifying assault.
But that's not enough. They need to be fired and charged with attempted murder.
NO MORE POLICE BRUTALITY.
Sometimes strict rules lead to sneaky and rebellious kids.
And sometimes they donโt.
This is because relationships often have a bigger impact on behavior than the rules do.
@GMA @IkeEjiochi Get the story right GMA! The teacher union voted on this! Do some actual research on finding and retaining teachers of color & quit trying to dig up bs news! Stay in your lane
Teacher Tired. Few people know tired like teachers. In fact research found that teachers make more minute-by-minute decisions than brain surgeons, and thatโs extremely tiring. For the new year, develop routines & habits that help streamline your day & make self care priority 1!
Begin the year focused on building those relationships and establishing respect both ways. Students work harder for teachers they respect and know cares about them. Adults do too.
@DeRushaJ@JoyMWilliams We also have to remember all of the voting laws that keep some constituents from the ballots. Itโs so convoluted that I donโt think our government is listening to the majority
@PauletEnglish@BlocksDesign Wicked!
We've done these on our stairs...almost installed. Designed by me printed by @yitzispielman of Finest Print Solutions Ltd. Lots of excitement generated by the ones already done before the holls. Can't wait to see reaction to new ones at the beginning of term!
