Teaching is a profession, not a hobby. Professional teachers work to translate their knowledge, understanding, & skills to an audience that may not even be interested. And it’s really hard to make personal connections when students aren’t even in the room. The struggle is real.

[Kristen Ryan @kryangrant]

@LHSBoysBBall Completely agree!!! Good luck Jelani!

Students: I need more SnapChat posts. Instagram too.

Some of the best professional learning takes place when we solicit feedback from the kids in our class... and genuinely listen to it. When we consider the point of view of our students, we significantly increase our potential for making their learning experiences meaningful.

[Wendy Hankins @MrsHankinsClass]

Others may disagree with you.
Others may not support you.
Others may unfollow you.

Be a leader.
Believe in yourself.
Stay strong in what you believe.
Preach what you believe.

Believe in you.
Believe in kids.
Lead from your ♥️

I just spend the last two days writing my report cards WITH my students.

I asked them about their strengths.

I asked them to share a future learning goal.

We looked at their body of work and we selected a grade. Together.

Why haven't I been doing this my entire career?

The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.

If you start treating your most challenging students as if they were your favorite students… over time, they might start acting like your favorites.
