A team becomes unstoppable when the standards matter more than the feelings.

If we are serious about literacy, we must be serious about students reading books.

Not excerpts.

Books.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

Being coachable means you're willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

PLAYERS: Your coach shouldn't have to beg you to be unselfish, provide energy, have a good attitude, or give your best effort. Those are all things you can control. That is what a winning teammate brings to a team. Great teams have great teammates.

Seriously! Say this again!

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Imagine earning a master’s degree, writing extensively about education, and spending countless hours learning to craft lessons — only to be handed scripted plans.

Bruh. What are we doing?

Advice on Writing by C.S. Lewis!

My goal is for students to see themselves as writers.

Here is some advice from C.S. Lewis that should inspire students to see writing in a new light.

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student.

The students have changed.

Teaching has changed.

You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

When a student learns to sit, think, and write—and patiently unravel their thoughts—a voice begins to emerge.

Writing becomes an act of discovery, a way to both find and create oneself.

Through this process, an individual takes shape.

Here are some prompts aimed at finding one’s voice.

Lady Gaga joined Bad Bunny for the halftime show 🙌

[J.D. Scholten @JDScholten]

I would like to thank my teammates from the past two summers for educating me on Bad Bunny…

What a beautiful expression of Puerto Rican culture. #SuperBowlLX

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand.

Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination."

~ Nelson Mandela, at the 2000 Inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

It's not your parent’s fault.

It's not your teacher's fault.

It’s not the school’s fault.

It's not the official's fault.

It's not your teammate's fault.

It's not your coach's fault.

It’s not your employer’s fault.

Own your successes AND your failures!

~ @CoachKurtHines

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

If your coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches accept their players doing whatever they want, whenever they want with no consequences. Discipline/responsibility/accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, you’re lucky so respect it!

@MsNiemeyerEHS @CRSCHOOLS This has bothered me for 4 days! The same day Boone Schools started taking about cutting teachers in Chior, Orchestra, FCS, and PE/Health. Also the same day one DMPS middle-school learned they are losing 8 positions, ONE school lising 8 positions...fund public education!
