So many lessons here, from every single person involved. Don't give up when you fail. Lend your strength to those who need it. Be supportive and encouraging. Celebrate wildly the successes of others. We've all been there -- be kind. ❤ (Thank you @Justlove3332 for sharing.)
As we continue to celebrate #APAHM, we hope educators commit to uplifting the diversity of AAPI identities year round. Here are more resources for including AAPI stories and valuing the lived experiences of AAPI people in our learning spaces. https://t.co/XjcbwebXyE
First year principal preparing for opening day. You will be with me. Thank you for your inspiration, again. @rickwormeli2 Your writing helps keep me focused on kids & teachers, context, relationships & growth.
Flexible, welcoming classrooms *do* raise test scores. According to a study, it’s about as important as air quality, light or temperature in boosting academic outcomes.
I used to think using every minute in class for academic purposes was absolutely crucial.
I now prioritize the quality of academic time over the quantity.
I also feel if time is utilized to build #relationships & establish community, academic time will vastly improve.

My son's baseball coach had his team practice striking out gracefully on their first day of practice. He said, "It's okay to fail. It's part of baseball." Some might say that he had low expectations. But they won the championship in part because they weren't afraid to mess up.
