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.

@FitzTraci I know your responding to a different class, but nice work!!!

It’s important for all administrators to recognize, that first and foremost, teachers are not looking for “instructional leadership”... they are looking for support. And when they feel the support, they are much more receptive to the instructional leadership.

You can be the smartest person in the room but if you can't connect with others you'll fail as a leader. Great leaders communicate and connect.

Administrators want teachers to be sensitive to the home life of kids. Well… administrators need to be sensitive to the home life of their teachers. They deal with divorce, depression, family illness, and other stresses that can have a profound impact. They need compassion too.

The children are falling behind. ❌
The children are living through a pandemic and are resilient ✅

The adults have decided the children are behind based on norms from non-pandemic times.

Great analogy for distant learning. You can either make excuses & complain or you can accept the reality we are in & do your best to engage ALL kids. Might be ugly at first, keep grinding & reflecting to get better. #FailForward #edchat #wcpsmd #kidsdeserveit

The American Academy of Pediatrics is calling for children to return to the classroom this fall wherever they can do so safely — saying the dangers of learning loss and social isolation outweigh the risks of in-person classes for most kids.
