Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through one year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval's & are treated like professionals!

How administrators interact in the cafeteria, bus line, hallway, etc, is really more important for building relationships and culture than how they interact in a meeting or their office.

Good advice! 🙌

Lead with empathy.

Recess and play are SEL. They help decrease aggressive and off task behavior as well as decease anxiety and depression . They increase self regulation of emotions and improve academic performance! Let them play!

Admin, try to make these your DAILY 5:
* Be the thermostat of positive culture
* Be accountable to your staff
* Be selfless: serving staff is leadership
* Be available: in the hallways, bus stop, classroom, cafeteria
* CHEER-leader. Praise & celebrate staff/students!

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesn’t mean they aren’t leaders. In fact as a leader, seek their input and feedback if you want to build a highly effective school culture.

Effective leaders know that putting teachers first is in reality putting students first. They take care of the ones who take care of the students!

Don't think morale is important for adults? Do you think students learn better in a classroom where the teacher is valued, appreciated, supported, and celebrated, or a classroom where the teacher feels isolated, disrespected and hanging on by a thread?

We cannot say this enough: TEACHERS AND STUDENTS HAVE NOT HAD EXTRA BREAKS THIS YEAR! They have been teaching/learning from home, NOT on some kind of extended break. @Sflecce, stop your misinformation campaign now! #onted #onpoli

[Educator @DrAnnLopez]

Teachers should not have to buy school supplies so children can learn. In no other profession is this expected. Pilots are not expected to buy jet fuel & firefighters are not expected to buy water

@etfopresident We have been asking for financial compensation since last spring. Some of us have been online since then! The amount of money teachers are paying out of pocket is outrageous!

[Mrs.Quinlan's Corner @QuinlansCorner]

@ConservHalton I thought it was closed as you cannot book it online.

I am not a graphic designer, I am not a content creator, I am not a web designer, I am not an entertainer....I am a teacher and I am overwhelmed.

@amarshall_26 @MsKarisaSharpe Mine too!

Thank you @ConservHalton for the virtual field trip today. Our @DLMS_MS online students loved learning about dams, flood plains and reduction, flood warning systems and stormwater ponds. Thank you for including areas close to our school as part of your tour.
