Teachers, coaches, counselors, principals etc - Ss take us literally - so tell them something that Really matters Every Day like “I care about you.” “You are important to me.” And “I am here for you.”
You could save a life. ❤️
What does trying to knock cups off a table have to do w/history? Nothing. What does it have to do w/a history clsss? A LOT Classes building community hoping fruits will be a higher level of comfort for students to share thoughts when discussing history. #weareChesterNJ
A2: Ensure teachers have time to come together consistently during the school day and during inservice days to share best practices and break down student data. This will help with identifying gaps in student learning and inform future instruction #satchat
Until we value teachers as difference makers rather than placeholders, we'll never realize that greatness has somehow existed over the years despite the many restrictions & dearth of support. Aristotle's words indeed ring true: "Those that can, do. Those that understand, teach."
This week, some schools attempt to be inclusive by acting like the holidays don’t exist where I use the excitement of this week to teach about holidays & why people around the world celebrate them. And today was one of my favorite lessons “Is Festivus a holiday?”
Someone asked me why so many staff “are so angry?” I think this article might be on to something! It’s time to “?” the processes & reduce the unnecessary for Ts & CST.

For #WorldMentalHealthDay I reaffirm my commitment to make a difference in the world, one life at a time. I commit to kindness and I promise to continue to do my part to make it a new norm. Keep going. There is much work to do. May we continue to do it together. #StarfishClub
Admins need to give freedom & time for their teachers to explore their own learning. Yes, the comeback will be that some teachers will not use the time as intended & waste it. But that is like punishing the whole class for the behavior of a few #satchat
