At the Celebration of Life for Rebecca DuFour today, there was a lot of laughter and teams as re celebrated this remarkable educator. The clarion call from her family: Eat the cake. Take the Trip. Do it now and don’t wait for a bucket list. #leadupchat#edchat#eatthecake

You asked if I'd record Daring Greatly and it's finally here! https://t.co/nc01q8q2VB
Expect a few more "y'all"s (we couldn't cut and re-record every single time) and a couple of crack-ups. But other than that, I'm super serious. #notreally
An empty classroom...no children, no materials, nothing on the walls...no teacher. It is that special teacher who enters this small space called a classroom and "breathes life into it and performs magic and miracles while simultaneously creating memories."
We don’t win kids over with consequences; we win them over with relationships. Sometimes, they need consequences… but we should always be mindful of what it is that will win them over.
The concepts of school climate and culture are sometimes confused and presented as the same thing. Even though they are related, they are different and need to be addressed in different ways: https://t.co/SBQbNgem6o @jellerthree@SheilaAEller#schoolculture
By asking students to track their progress over time, teachers are encouraging them to see assessments not as isolated tests that can permanently influence their overall grade but as connected measurements of their learning and progress over time. #studentengagement
The educators who are constantly tweeting “positivity” are not in denial about the very real challenges that educators face. They just realize that a good attitude gives you the best chance of solving those problems, & they understand that a negative outlook destroys motivation.
