3 Truths Every Teacher Knows:
💡To love this job, you MUST love kids. This is a non-negotiable.
💡Be prepared, but flexible. Plans will change. If they don’t, you’re not listening.
💡Your most successful moments may be invisible. You learn of them years later.

Maybe rethinking the way I set up my gradebook... #alplearn https://t.co/T426ESFXyh

A5: Giving a zero teaches that the work wasn’t important. Insisting the work be completed regardless of time teaches responsibility. It teaches that responsibility doesn’t have a time limit. It teaches that the work doesn’t go away. #sblchat

A1: Accepting less than our best is the "easy way out". Learning, persevering, and adapting to feedback is worthy work! #sblchat

Battling a lot of student apathy lately following the gauntlet of standardized testing week. Favorite ways to boost morale, motivation, and work ethic? #Grit #alplearn

[Mitchell Sytsma @mitchell_sytsma]

There are days when it can be especially difficult. Battling apathy, attitude, and drama can wear me down sometimes...Without a doubt though high school students' empathy, passions and talents make it all worth it! #ALPLEARN https://t.co/gdDdSxkQid

[Mitchell Sytsma @mitchell_sytsma]

@Lyndsey_WE Intriguing strategy...seems to add a valuable self-assessment aspect and opportunity for quicker recognition by teacher and student that can often be missed with "out-the-door" exercises! #NT2T

[Mitchell Sytsma @mitchell_sytsma]

Interesting thoughts on a no-zero grading policy and what that means in formative vs. summative assessment... #ALPLEARN

I don’t need our teachers to be the most talented, the most innovative, or the most tech savvy. I need them to care about kids... work well with their colleagues... and come to work every day, excited about making a difference. #JoyfulLeaders

Always looking for simple strategies to build classroom culture and to help improve transition time!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: There are far too many players who focus on winning a championship & not enough time on doing the things to become a champion. A champions mentality is a mindset, it doesn’t start or end with games. It’s a quality of competing, in practice, at home, in the classroom.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Players: If your high school coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of high school coaches accept their players doing whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it w/ no consequences. Discipline, responsibility & accountability are college & life prep!

You have only two options: be one of your team's leaders, or support those teammates who do lead your team.
