Teacher quality has to be part of the conversation... Are you willing to reflect/adjust your practice to help students succeed?

Just read something about replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you". So, instead of saying "sorry I was late", say "thank you for waiting for me". Replacing negativity with positivity and gratitude and breaks the "i'm sorry" cycle. Powerful.
