I’ve come to learn that when students cheat on assignments it’s because they have been taught that the importance of grades outweighs knowing or learning things. We need to fix this.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

There’s a difference between writing a good lesson plan and being a good teacher. And there’s a difference between writing a good school improvement plan and being a good leader.

The difference is found in the human connections.

Today is a great opportunity to find that kid nobody pays attention to and get them to smile.

Gave back practice assessments today with some stickers and had the same response. 💙 making the day of students! It makes my day.

My daughter 17 year old daughter just told me she got a smiley face on her AP Stats paper. She liked it!

Don’t ever underestimate the value of smiley faces!

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.

Even the best teachers who seem to have it all together still need encouragement, support,and to know they’re appreciated and the same is true for administrators too.

We aren't doing best for our students if we aren't doing best for our teachers.

Don’t adjust who you are for other people….they can adjust to you. Life is to short.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Schools with strong positive culture have people who root for others' success. They view themselves as a team not competitors. An individual success is the team's success. Next week look to Celebrate team!

School districts, if you are dealing with high attrition and turnover, remember that teachers/ staff rarely leave a job where they feel valued, supported, appreciated and treated like professionals.

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

Don’t, “I Have a Dream” your students if you’re not willing to discuss the nightmares many of them are living through today.

[Bored Teachers @Bored_Teachers]

Real talk.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I remember a teacher telling me: “When you’re surrounded by superstars… it makes you want to be better than you are.” That’s the power of collaboration -- the power of positive peer pressure. The best teachers don’t just inspire their students; they inspire their colleagues.

[lightingupeducation @lightingupeduc1]

Don’t hesitate to ask for a professional pause when you are overwhelmed.

My hope is that the respect you will gain from that will be better than the way people treat you if you stay and continue to try to function from a burned out state.
