Restorative discipline isn’t about letting kids off easy—it’s about holding them accountable in a way that actually changes behavior.

Kids have to learn to struggle, persevere & fight their way out of adversity. You can pay to put them on every kind of competitive team, get them a trainer/equipment/extra practice, but if they can’t claw their way past troubles that WILL come, they’ll never develop as people!
Nick Saban said, "You get up every day, you're entitled to: Nothing."
"Nothing is acceptable, but your best."
It means show up, do the work, and earn it every day.
Your thoughts drive what you want, your actions drive what you get.

Theres 2 reasons why elementary students should not lose recess because they didn't turn in HW.
1. Recess is essential – Kids need it for focus, behavior, and well-being. Taking it away hurts more than it helps.
2. Elementary kids shouldn’t have homework – It offers little benefit. Play and reading matter more.
I am convinced that one of the most important things a staff member can do to contribute to a strong culture is to be excited about their job.
This does not require skill, experience, or innovation. But it does require heart.
The Grade-Game Scale
A = Plays School Very Well
B = Plays School Well
C = Plays School
D = Plays School Poorly
F = Doesn’t Play School
We can do better.

My own kids never came home talking about teachers who were creative or innovative. (And these are great things.)
But they consistently talked about teachers who had high expectations, who loved teaching, and who strived to connect with their students.
Grades are neither rewards nor punishments to be given or earned.
They are progress to be recorded and reported.
Are we communicating learning, or are we gatekeeping?
We can do better.

Culture isn't what you say - it's what you allow.
• Allow excuses? You'll get more.
• Allow bad attitudes? They will spread.
• Allow selfishness? Team chemistry will disappear.
Great leaders set the standard.
Culture happens every day - on purpose or by accident.
It's Tuesday or rather
CHOOSE-day...
Choose "that one kid" you have in your class & make a meaningful connection about something unrelated to school.
Choose to be a "Don't worry, I got you." adult before a "Now I got you!" one.
The choices are always ours to choose on any day
Reminder for Adults in schools:
It's Monday & mistakes will be made-
By your kids
By your peers
By your leaders
By you.
Greet them with grace.
Each one is learning opportunity & we all want learning to be grace-full & blame-free.
That's how we all get better.
If we are truly committed to cultivating a high-performing culture then we must focus on taking care of each other. #IGotYou#WordsOnTheWall#Culturize#Recalibrate
