Thank you UnboundEd for a great four days of professional development. Can’t wait to start implementing this work at J.N. Fries STEM Middle. #WeAreFries
#ThoughtForTheDay If we expect teachers to cultivate a culture where every child feels like the favorite student, then we as building leaders need to treat every teacher like they are our favorite teacher. Everyone deserves to feel like they are significant & special. #Culturize
A lot of kids don’t like school. That’s the reality. When the adults in the building get to know those kids and genuinely care about them… they can turn that around. That’s also the reality.
Never underestimate the power of an apology to your child or student. Not only are you modeling accountability & respect in a tangible way, but you are also acknowledging that you value their opinion & need to earn their trust after you've made a mistake. #SEL#KidsDeserveIt
With all the pressure on schools today it can be easy to forget that what we label a “problem” student is really a student who needs someone to give them much needed support.
A great reminder from https://t.co/lhgHYSg9LV:
I keep this Post It on my school computer as a daily reminder that a misbehaving kid is a discouraged kid, or a disempowered kid, or a kid missing the skills to deal with a challenge they were given.
