Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.
Here's a related idea from Grant Wiggins: "It's not teaching that causes learning. Attempts by the learner to perform cause learning, dependent upon the quality of feedback and opportunities to use it."
What a treat! @HubsNHHS Hospitality & Tourism Management students set up coffee and snacks in our Center for Ed. Services cafeteria. They were practicing and enhancing customer service, soft skills, product displays, and learning by DOING! @wcpsmd
I hope every principal knows how much they are appreciated. I have often said principals have one of the toughest jobs trying to balance mandates & expectations from the district while supporting & encouraging their staff. Thank you Principals!
A final update on the podcast pause. I appreciate this community and everyone's willingness to wade through the tough conversations. https://t.co/DG3zjUKIcY
I defied the odds to become a Rhodes Scholar, Army officer & CEO.
Now, I'm announcing my run for Maryland Governor.
Because I believe no matter our start—we all deserve an equal opportunity to succeed.
I'd be humbled by your support→ https://t.co/rX4BO0kIyc
