LEADERS!! People take on the ATTITUDES & ACTIONS of those around them. 2nd grade kids have never had a normal year of school. Anyone who started TEACHING & LEADING in the last 3 years hasn’t either. How are we helping them?

3. I see you giving 110% every day
4. I see you innovating to reach your students
5. Your work has an unfathomable impact

Smartest thing I heard from a supt recently:

As part of reopening planning, arrange a simulated school day (or even 1/2 day) for key stakeholders (supt, bd, union pres, etc) to "attend" school under draft plan.

From bus to class to bathroom, walk in their shoes b4 deciding.

I love how innovative this Kinder teacher is in @alpineschools @BonnevilleEs as she is recording reading to her students and also uses her teacher iPad as a document camera when she records instruction. #InnovateAlpine #onlinelearning

Already hearing that student/parent anxiety is escalating with this new eLearning reality. We may be inadvertently making things worse by pouncing with work & trying to rush normalcy. Connect on an emotional level first; the learning will come. #bced #ATAssessment #GFIO

Three cheers for Christina Van Dam for being honored with a @kslnewsradio Teacher Feature. KSL's@amandadickson recently visited @BellViewElem to present the award to Van Dam, who is now an Education Technology Specialist but previously was a 5th grade teacher at @DraperDragons.

Solid advice:

“The key to keeping your school focused and moving forward is identifying a small handful of priorities AND actively pushing against everything else that threatens to draw your collective time and attention away from the things that matter most.” https://t.co/uOgGnTUJmH
