A2: While trying to avoid making it sound overly simple (bc it’s not always easy), we really must start with building positive relationships. This quote from Danny Steele.... #phmchat

The engagement of teachers is also usually connected to the enthusiasm of the administration.

No matter how busy we are or how stressed we are, there's always time to treat those around us with both courtesy & respect. Always.

Picking up a few recommendations! Thanks so very much!

The CDC states that children should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity daily. RT if you agree #playmatters

It's time well spent. h/t Justin Tarte

Educators who use the #ResponsiveClassroom approach to discipline do so because they believe in two factors that are critical to helping develop self-control skills that will contribute to student success, in and out of school. #SocialEmotionalLearning #professionaldevelopment

Kids learn more from teachers who smile. Greet your students with a smile and call them by name. Kids learn more from teachers who connect. Know your students and know what makes them unique. Kids learn more from teachers who encourage. Lift them up and notice their strengths.

Contrary to what some believe, teachers DO NOT receive ‘summers off.’ We’re only paid to work for the contractual days we signed up for. Besides, we need to keep up with our PD to hold on to our certificates (which we pay for) and get ready for the new school year. 😏

Fingers crossed these books look awesome!

Many school districts are so concerned with increasing test scores and comprehension in Math and Reading, they tend to forget what constitutes a happy, harmonious and healthy student and LEARNING environment. #MaslowBeforeBloom
