So proud of one of my 4th grade students for receiving the “Little Tree Huggers” grant from @onetreeplanted and planted a tree @Dist33Wegner! Shout out to @SamHeughan for introducing me to an amazing nonprofit through @MyPeakChallenge. #plantatree #onetreeplanted #samheughan

Surround yourself with people who believe in you, love you, support you, and see greatness in you even when you don't see it yourself!

Teacher Appreciation is really about being valued as an expert and professional. It’s when admin realize that their school is full of competent & dedicated staff who don't need constant monitoring. They simply need encouragement, support & the autonomy/flexibility to be amazing.

Even when cell phones are out of sight, they still occupy space in students’ minds.

3 things students need to hear from teachers:
1. “I believe in you.”
2. “You have a purpose.”
3. “How are you, really?”

Powerful questions to ask your Ss at the start of the year:
"What helps you feel welcomed?"
"How do you like to be greeted?"
"What strengths do you bring to school?"
"What do you like most about school so far?"
