We hire teachers for their strengths.
Then manage them based on their weaknesses.
And wonder why they burn out.
Teachers are 6x more engaged when they use their strengths every day.
We don’t just waste talent.
We crush the very thing we hired them for.

When I was growing up my brother and I were very picky eaters…. So my parents would tell us we were eating “meat” so we would actually eat the food they made. I just found out about this. I don’t know how I feel about this.
For the last 10 days I’ve basically walked into my apartment and dropped all my stuff inside the door… today I almost tripped over my pile of stuff and dropped the vase of flowers I was carrying. And that was when I decided it was time to clean things up…
