The mental health needs of students are real - regardless of academic performance or socio-economic status. This article bit.ly/2KUyiU4 perfectly captures why the Student Wellness and Success initiative proposed by Governor Mike DeWine is so important. We must do more! #OhioEd

Veteran teachers are the backbone of education. They’ve endured all the reasons most teachers leave the field. They also survived the latest programs, initiatives, & testing. They have much wisdom, experience & expertise if leaders are willing to listen. Value & appreciate them!

Every day you choose how to respond to the events you experience. The outcomes you get are determined by the responses you choose. This is the simple message of E+R=O. The “O” is feedback about the effectiveness of your R. Want a better outcome? Choose a better response.

Pride requires a careful balance. Too little and you are timid, fearful, with a low sense of self-esteem. Too much and you are vain, self-centered, arrogant. Just enough and you are positive, persistent, and productive.

Do you coach an athletic team? Then you are a leader. Do you lead a business? Then you are a coach. The fundamentals do not change.

Andrew Carnegie said this, “It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.”

If you don't like who you are becoming, take a look at those you most closely associate. Do you want to be like them? Choose wisely.
