@PBSNewshour showcases the need. Eds are struggling & need support to rebuild their identity, manage the stress, and reclaim the hope that they can have the impactful, meaningful life they imagined. AND, we need to deal w/ culture & systems that are stressing Eds OUT of the job!

Come and celebrate with us! April 28 from 4:30-7:00. Bekah will speak from 5-5:15! RSVP with Debbie: [email protected] We hope to see you there!

Talking behavior today...and a little WTF. This is a hot-button topic in our schools, but we thought we would dip our toes in to offer a few thougths. #thoughtsfromtheroad #education #learning #school #motivation #students

[Opportunity Thrive @oppthrive]

When we think about the first step to building schools where our educators want to work, we believe it starts with trust. How do you intentionally build trust? What behaviors have you seen to be key in building trust? #thoughtsfromtheroad

@dmeest @brightmorningtm Love @Brightmorningtm! Her work has influenced a lot of our coaching work as we seek to help educators move first into beliefs and being and then outward all the way to systems and structures. Hope you’re doing well too!

1/2 I was working with a group of teachers who communicated so clearly a strong need teachers have right now–to feel like they belong. Belonging isn't about potlucks & icebreakers. Belonging is about connection–deep, supportive connection.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

[Opportunity Thrive @oppthrive]

Our hearts cannot handle more grief & loss in our schools. #uvaldetx, “We cry w/ you #Robb families.” To the rest of the country, this was a kid who shot kids. Now is not the time to divide. SEL must be taught & mental health supported & guns made harder to access. Do it 4 kids.
