Some of the best pd is getting to see other teachers teach.
There are truly great things happening in each and every school.
We just need the time and resources to make it happen.
Kids will remember very few rules and procedures from their first days of school, but they surely will remember whether or not they feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed by their teacher.
Focus on relationships before rules.

Older students are a lot like younger students. Don't correlate their bigger bodies with their ability to act like adults--socially or emotionally.
They still throw tantrums, it just manifests in different ways. They still need love, connection, second chances, and coaching.
Reading #HackingSchoolDiscipline and loving it!!! “When we look at behavior we try to use the ‘iceberg perspective’ and realize that every behavior has other things packed under it.”
