Our desire to do the right thing even when it’s the hard thing needs to be greater than our desire to look good to others.

⏳ If half the class requires tier 2 support, the school doesn't need more tier 2 #intervention strategies or programs. There's a need for more universal design. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Teachers who receive regular recognition & appreciation are:
* More productive
* More engaged in school
* More likely to stay with school
* More likely to receive higher satisfaction scores from students & parents
* View school culture more positively

Yes, Appreciation matters!

A good working environment for teachers creates a good learning environment for their students.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Understanding & influencing courageous behaviour is an important part of leading change. If we don't feel courage, we won't try new things. @BillTreasurer helpfully describes "three buckets of courage":
1) TRY courage is the courage of first attempts, being wiling to experiment & try new things.
2) TRUST courage is about letting go of formulas that worked in the past, our preconceptions about how things should be & our need to control.
3) TELL courage is where people feel safe to express themselves authentically & fully.
It's our role as leaders to actively nurture the three courage buckets to create an environment where confidence & psychological safety prevail over fear. Powerful blog & sketchnote by @tnvora: https://t.co/2m9t5481m3, based on https://t.co/saA4DxaZAo

We deserve to live really good lives while making the lasting impact we dream of making as educators. I believe this so deeply. With immense gratitude for teachers, I wrote a book about it. #legacyoflearning
