I’m watching @BEKSports High School Football remembering over 10 years ago, as a sophomore in HS, when I worked for the night for BEK. I was so excited to get to work in Live TV! They’ve grown so much in production and I’m still working in tech! So, thank you

Want to feel like a rockstar?!? Get 10 Kindergarteners in a room and get them signed into a Google Classroom and onto an assignment to work on clicking and dragging! Leaving this Friday feeling good! #google #edtech #googleclass #afeteacher

Yesterday, I heard one elderly women say to another she was trying to call her but she wasn’t answering. The women replied “Oh that’s my inside phone, we’ve been outside so much.” The idea of an “inside phone” is completely unknown to kids and made me feel so so old…

Teachers don't give up on their students because they know each one has significance, value, and a purpose, even if the student doesn’t realize it yet.

One of the most important qualities of a teacher is to stay young at heart. Once you stop enjoying time w/ kids, laughing often, enjoying the little things, being inspired by small successes or you start taking yourself too seriously you can lose your joy of teaching.

Effective leaders know their people; they know their stories. They don't just see a staff but they see individuals with aspirations, goals, and personal stories. These are leaders a staff appreciates and commits to as well.

Teaching is like a TEAM Sport! The best teams exhibit:
* respect/trust for all members
* willing to share ideas/resources
* common goals/vision
* responsibilities based on strengths
* effective leadership
* everyone supported/valued
* see others as colleagues not competition
