5 Hopes for When Schools Reopen Face-To-Face buff.ly/2SaDwOL

10 Core Values for Education #Podcast buff.ly/33TzRJT

Many years from now there will be adults who share stories about when they were in your class. I hope teachers never forget that they’re helping to shape the future memories of those in their care.

Kids do not dislike Hard Work. They dislike work that is boring and work that appears meaningless. #edchat #education

With the uncertainty this fall, the difference in administrators & leaders will be noticeable. Admin will feel safe maintaining status quo. Leaders will be flexible & adaptable to meet the challenges and needs of staff & students. They will seek staff input & keep them in loop.

As a leader one of your most important jobs is to create a great culture. Culture drives expectations, standards and beliefs. These drive behavior. Behavior drives habits and habits create your organization and outcomes.

Try your best every day to make someone else’s day.

I promise this is worth the read!

How to Build a Great School Climate: 👏 Aggressively address Gossip of any kind. Everytime! 👏 Smile and greet students by name. Address your teachers in the same way 👏 Serve your people 👏 Respond to text, calls, & emails quickly 👏 Smile. Be positive 👏 Lead by example #edchat

Just heard a teacher say: “I’ve got a challenging problem for you guys. Well... it’s actually not that challenging for you because you’re brilliant.” How our students feel about themselves is a powerful thing. So yeah... that fires me up.

Online teaching is NOT the future of education. It’s simply a necessary part of our present. The future of education is in the realization that our most important lessons can’t be replicated exclusively online. People need people, & that requires proximity. #BoldSchool #edchat

Custodians are the backbone of every school, keeping campuses safe for students and staff of all ages. This year, as the world was introduced to a new virus, our custodial staff had to work even harder to keep schools clean and safe. And they did it all with a smile. #ThankSC

If you’re a teacher… don’t assume your students know you care about them. You gotta show ‘em… every day. If you’re an administrator... don’t assume your teachers know you support them. You gotta show ‘em… every day.

Saddened to hear the passing of Dick Hoyt today. This man’s love and devotion to his son inspired me to run my 1st tri & marathon in 2007. I told myself if this man can push his disabled son for 26.2 mi because it made him feel like he was running, I had no excuses. #RIPDickHoyt

My first group of Grade 6 students R.C. Edwards Middle came by school today for their Senior Walk for the Daniel High School Class of 2021. Very proud of this amazing group of young people and the potential they have. #proud #classof2021 #potential

On the last day of in-person instruction R.C. Edwards Middle I appreciate our APs Jessica D. Preisig and Lucius Culpepper for their leadership (coping with change) and countless hours of planning that occurred this school year with the safety of our Ss and Ts at the epicenter. ❤️ our team.
