The new year will ring in with a great girls basketball matchup between Kankakee and Marian Catholic!

[Dawn Harrison @mrs_dharrison]

Yes 🙌 Love watching them play! 💪🥰

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows?

There is no average time to learn something. Punishing students for taking longer to learn something seems archaic

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes.

You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion.

Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.

How we treat others truly matters. 🧡

Open your mind #forwardprogress 💪

Important reminder! 🙌

[Dr. Joy @joyworkedu]

PD for SEL can't just focus on "easy to implement" activities. There's great need for the participants to have a significant amount of time reflecting on who they are and how they feel about kids. What topics do you think need to be included to help with this process? #joyworkedu

Money doesn’t drive or impress me because I know it doesn’t define you and you can’t take it with you. I’ve met a lot of wealthy miserable people. The truth is:
Health is wealth
Joy is priceless
Love makes you feel rich
Living your purpose is gold
Relationships are everything

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Before you go to bed celebrate your success of the day. Identify one great thing about your day; conversation, accomplishment, thing that made you smile, or the win that you are most proud of. Focus on your success, and you'll look forward to creating more success tomorrow.

Schools spend so much time talking about tier 2 & tier 3 interventions. The things we do for some kids, sometimes.

We can nullify the need for so many of these conversations if we’d just dial in to great tier 1 instruction. What are we doing for all kids, all the time? #edchat

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Don’t let negativity win today. Remember it starts with you. If you are complaining you’re not leading. If you are leading you’re not complaining. One person can’t make a team but one person can break a team. Stay positive! No energy vampires allowed.

@JonGordon11 Relationship Grit...I would definitely love to read your ideas on relationship grit as my husband and I continue to grow as a couple. Married 4 years this year...it truly does take a lot of work, any help that this book could provide would be amazing.

If grades were motivating, how motivated would you be by a low score day after day on your lesson plans?
