The purpose of school is not to be good at school but to help students do well in their lives beyond school.

Learning should be for life, not just the next grade level. Preparing them to be continuous learners is more important than preparing them for a test. #FutureDriven

This is what I look like right now as the year comes close to the end. That gray hair and those puffy eyes say it all! LOL. I still love it though! #adminlife

"Restorative justice can’t just be a set of things that we do. It has to be a framework for how we view teaching and learning.” https://t.co/rgFgJ5Th5Y #edchat #RJ #restorativepractices #discipline #cpchat

Have a student you're struggling with & you're out of ideas?

Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:

For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the #student about anything the student is interested in, but NO school or behavior.

@ZeinaChalich @Accidentaleader I wonder if they are a waste? Extrinsic to intrinsic behaviour is a continuum. To be self motivated first you need to see why you should be motivated to act. Motivational regulators help students to be motivated and work towards intrinsic motivation #aussieED

Schools that excel in providing a supportive and engaging environment for student growth in #SEL ensure that they also spend time and focus on the advancement of adult SEL. #edchat #Satchat #kidsdeserveit #bestEd

Mental illnesses affect people every single day of the year. People can’t just “turn off” their mental illness and not be affected. Mental illnesses are not a choice, and people with mental illnesses deserve support to get through whatever they’re going through.
