My classroom management improved when I focused more on creativity and collaboration and less on compliance. Instead of trying to catch kids doing things wrong, we celebrated the amazing things they did well, and those “things” got exponentially better because the fear was gone.
Had such a great visit to Vestavia Hills Elementary West @vhcschools this morning! They are a National School of Character & one of the site visits for Hope Leadership Academy participants this month. #inspiringcharacter#hopeinstitute#charactermatters
"The brilliance of the stars would be invisible without the vast darkness of space behind them.
Do not wish away the difficult portions of life. They provide the contrast needed to appreciate the joyful moments."

In a culture of belonging:
☑️Everyone appreciates you for what you bring to the group.
☑️There is a genuine desire for meaningful relationships.
☑️There is an appreciation for the differences between people.
