She needs a reteach.
He needs food.
They need sleep.
She needs empathy.
He needs attention.
They need directions.
She needs time.
He needs therapy.
They need a shower.
She needs friends.
He needs money.
They need a smile.

And that's just one fraction of one period of one day.

One of the best retention strategies for a school is an administration who support, encourage, and appreciate their staff. Not only will they not want to leave, but others will want to work there.

Standardized tests are only useful for taking away the self-confidence of half of the students taking the exam. Sadly, we call this education.

LEADERS!!!! Sometimes the BEST IDEAS happen when we’re not thinking about OTHER THINGS. Take the time to JUST SIT. I know it’s a busy time of the year…but find me a time that’s not. JUST. SIT.

I always thought I was a curriculum and instruction person, but I’m most definitely a teaching and learning person.

I do believe there’s a difference.

And I believe the difference is what is centered.

I want to teach kids the stuff, not stuff to the kids.

School climate is created by the relationships of all members of the school community. But, it is the principal who sets the tone. It’s the principal who can positively advance culture and climate....and it’s the principal who can ruin it.

Can we pay subs enough so we can have substitute teachers, so teachers can be out when they are sick? My local movie theater is offering more pay for someone to sit and take tickets.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of confidence. Your focus is on solutions not perceptions.

Independent reading leads to an increased volume of reading. The more one reads, the better one reads. The more one reads, the more knowledge of words and language one acquires. The more one reads, the more fluent one becomes as a reader.https://t.co/4SAt4Lku9Q
