Students are more intuitive about teachers than we think. Be genuine with your students. Build relationships. Don't judge. Be a light. Offer advice. Plant that seed and pray it grows. I don't know where this student is now, but I hope our conversation that day made an impact.

@KevinBalius Thank you @KevinBalius ❤

This is my own reminder! Being a teacher is tough. We have bad days. Our patience wears thin, but we should always strive to be kind. P.S. Being kind doesn't mean you're a pushover. You can hold students to high standards and be kind at the same time.

Some of those "bad" kids are my favorites!

We're watching #FreshPrinceOfBelAir clips to understand foil characters. It makes me smile to hear my students rap, "In West Philadelphia, born and raised..." Now that I have their attention--Up next, a lesson about how Unferth is a foil to #Beowulf.

#Beowulf swam for several nights wearing his woven-metal mail shirt. There's no better way to get students' attention & prove Beowulf's strength than having them wear chain mail. They like the challenge to see what they can do while wearing it. BJ sprinted down the hall. 😂

🙌I preach Maslow over Bloom for students, especially with our current situations...but it's just as important for teachers. ❤

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

It’s not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need:
1) feel safe / supported
2) emotional connection/ relationships
3) feel respected
4) attention/ appreciation
5) value within the team
6) Volition/ autonomy
7) innovation/ creativity
8) self care

The only thing that stands between some students and despair... is an encouraging teacher.

[Deborah J. Pippin, Ed.S. NBCT @Mrspippinsclass]

@MsChildersERD I haven't been called coach in a while!! 😁❤

It took a lot of coffee and a whole lot of Jesus to get through this morning. I'm smiling my way through the craziness!
