Worrying is a sign of uncertainty: you're anxious about what might go wrong.

Thinking can help you tolerate uncertainty, but it's action that reduces uncertainty.

You don’t have to wait for fear to fade before you take the leap. Taking the leap is how you conquer fear.

Good morning! This week seek out the people who lift you up! Those who make you feel seen and heard. The people who make you laugh and fill you with joy. Those who will hold you accountable, who will make you think, and elevate you. Seek out these people. Have a great day! 👊

@MrNunesteach 1. The positive increase in the ability to collaborate across buildings now more than ever, thanks to virtual meetings. 2. Making a mindful choice to extend grace to myself, my students, and my colleagues every day.

Today marks one year since police killed George Floyd. We lift his name alongside so many other lives unjustly taken—and alongside so many families still mourning. We continue to demand justice and affirm that Black lives matter today and always.

And this is one for teachers: if you hear even a passing discriminatory comment, no matter how vague, PLEASE shut down the lesson immediately and tackle it head on. It's the best lesson those kids will learn all day.

Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.

What if Black teachers were recognized more for their content knowledge, pedagogical abilities, and ability to teach instead of their ability to discipline and manage Black students' behavior?

@missrfletcher On a side note- my first year we did “Farmer’s insurance jingle” and It didn’t go well. 🤦🏽‍♀️We quickly realized it as a class that it wasn’t working but that remains an inside joke with students from my first year. 🤓

@missrfletcher I currently use a 5,4,3,2,1 countdown + wait time with my middle school kids and it works better with deliberate and intentional practice. A bell/ a chime is on my list for next year.

@WFSBnews Disagree- our school has one of the best SRO! It always amazes me just observing all the positive interactions our students have with our SRO in our hallways.

Smartest thing I heard from a supt recently:

As part of reopening planning, arrange a simulated school day (or even 1/2 day) for key stakeholders (supt, bd, union pres, etc) to "attend" school under draft plan.

From bus to class to bathroom, walk in their shoes b4 deciding.
