Sooo just printing this and taping to my classroom door, cool? Cool. Welcome back to school, ya filthy animals.

[mandolin @mandolin_reignn]

yes! i often tell students (& often around other edu staff): "teaching is a service position, and it's our job to lead by serving. check those egos at the door." this attitude resonates with STs esp re: inevitable behaviour mgmt-- makes a difference

[mandolin @mandolin_reignn]

@schug_dennis @edutopia quite love the phrasing of your numbered list. could i print a copy to post up, attributed to you with proper byline? know it'd be helpful to others to see it as we kick off another year :)

[mandolin @mandolin_reignn]

so much this. creating that trust with our students yields the biggest ROI of all-- teachers just have to make that initial deposit in earnest #teacherlife #mixedmetaphors

[David Zilli @davidgzilli]

@edutopia Students won’t care about your rules and what you know until they know how much you care. Spend time building relationships and getting to know about your students—their interests, their abilities and needs, and their aspirations. Only then will they be invested in you.

[mandolin @mandolin_reignn]

Students really do go bananas for the daily attendance question-- gets 'em every time. Well done then, teachers; keep providing space for those brilliant minds to shine

schools would be much safer and full of joy if instead of assigning a police officer to each one we assigned a drag queen

Will Smith smacking Chris Rock and QuestLove winning an Oscar are the two most back to back Philly things to ever happen at the Oscars.
