You never know what kids are dealing with at home.  Always be kind.  Always be patient.  Always be gracious. 

Always.

Some kids are a bright spot in their teacher's day. 

And some kids need a teacher to be a bright spot in their day.

When you find out about the home life of some of your students, it will change your attitude and your approach toward those students. 

It must.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

We never know what the students will remember.  We need to try and make all the moments count.

Every school day is filled with unexpected glitches and hiccups.  The best leaders respond with poise, perseverance, and a positive attitude.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I recommend dealing with difficult people the same way you deal with your favorites: with kindness, patience, respect, and understanding.

To my educator peeps... you don’t have to be an administrator, grade level chair, or department head to be a leader in you school. Your title doesn’t matter. You just need to care about making it better.

Passion and commitment can transform any culture.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Students will remember your attitude longer than they will remember your lesson.  We better bring a good one everyday.

It’s imperative that administrators remain grounded.

I’m inspired by teachers who make the decision not to be average.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

When teachers are dedicated to providing support and encouragement to their students, they make the school a great place to learn.

When they are dedicated to providing support and encouragement to their colleagues, they make the school a great place to work.

There is a teacher that both my sons had in high school. They both raved about her. I remember asking my younger son what he liked about her. Without hesitating, he said:

“She cares so much! She cares so much about her job!”

Kids notice.

Classroom management is so much easier when you have rapport with the kids. Getting to know your students makes all the difference.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

A lot of kids don’t like school.

That’s the reality.

When the adults in the building get to know those kids and genuinely care about them… they can turn that around.

That’s also the reality.

This. 🙌

Our teachers work so hard to create fun and meaningful learning experiences for our students… and that absolutely fires me up!

Teachers don’t just teach standards… they create memories.

5 tips for building class climate:

1) Talk to kids when they walk into class.

2) Learn 1 thing about each student.

3) If you have to get on to a kid, do it privately.

4) Apologize when needed.

5) Don’t take yourself too seriously.
