#CSDEnergyBus Negative people often tend to create negative cultures whereas positive corporate cultures are created by positive people.

[Carissa VanderLey @mrsvanderley]

Too many people try to please others and this only makes them unhappy. Better to focus on feeling good and letting this feeling and happiness shine on others. #CSDEnergyBus

[Carissa VanderLey @mrsvanderley]

Our thoughts are powerful because they are loaded with energy. #CSDEnergyBus

[Carissa VanderLey @mrsvanderley]

It's your bus and you're the driver and you choose where you are going and the kind of ride it's going to be. #CSDEnergyBus

One of the best pieces of advice I heard from our PD with @gerrybrooksprin was "find a teacher friend that teaches the same content as you." #WeAreCubNation @JeffSteckelberg

This year I'm looking forward to collaborating with my teaching colleagues. #WeAreCubNation

One of the most humbling and amazing experiences of my teaching career. #WeAreCubNation #CubNation #Historyteacher

#culturizeCHS Educators should be a merchant of hope; we can change the path of students' lives through personal interactions with them;a smile,a hello,a conversation to ask them how their day is going.

[Carissa VanderLey @mrsvanderley]

#CulturizeCHS Accept that teaching is a calling-a mission,try to catch kids doing things right,push students and their thinking and encourage them to strive for greatness @JeffSteckelberg

[Carissa VanderLey @mrsvanderley]

The most effective leaders are always learning and are willing to share their expertise in hopes that someone will benefit in some way. #CulturizeCHS @JeffSteckelberg @casas_jimmy

4 rules for grading:

1. Not everything students do should be graded.
2. Not everything you collect should be graded.
3. Feedback is way more important than a grade.
4. A grade should reflect learning, not just accuracy.

@casas_jimmy @JeffSteckelberg The key to success for students is to build up their confidence to the level they believe they can learn or achieve anything they put their minds to. #CulturizeCHS #Culturize #growthmindset
