@slhswrestling 2 of my kiddos! Way to go gentlemen!

I LOVE this idea. What a great way to integrate writing, goal setting, and character education.

Inviting students to write their end-of-year legacy at the start of the school year is one of the most powerful and efficient #SEL interventions one can do for students, and it’s a simple tool to use. Dr. Maurice J. Elias writes for @edutopia. https://t.co/QsuFkJXdK6 #education

"We should tell students that reading, writing, thinking critically, and communicating effectively build global competency, that global competencies are super powers, that they are needed to save the world." Kylowna Moton #MondayMotivation https://t.co/yIRwpnXXco

We need to be intentional about building relationship with students, but we also need to be intentional about building relationships with colleagues.

Go out of your way to say hi, to give a compliment, and to get to know the people at your school.

Teachers,
Have the courage to be unpopular if it means doing what’s best for your students. Stand up for what you believe in so your students see you being their advocate. Leaders who take the “path less chosen” are often the best. Make this a “go get ‘em” year.

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

Surveyed my new seniors. 72% of them cannot identify a single author they like. Two-thirds of them “never” read in their spare time. Never. I know there are many factors behind this, but I can’t help wonder what role schools have played in killing the ❤️ of reading.

@BlackHatJohn Maybe, instead of so much TV watching, you and @JenDo0823 could hang out and have a beer with us soon. Since we haven’t seen you in like...years. 😬

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Gnight.
Get what you need—sleep, quiet, a phone call with a friend, tea—
so that you have the capacity to be kind. The space to do better tomorrow.
Make room for the miracle.
Make way for the miracle.
(Allow to yourself that you are also the miracle.)
