Balance rarely comes from increasing efficiency. It usually involves reducing responsibilities. The more priorities we have, the harder they are to juggle. It's better to do a few things well than be overwhelmed by many. A key to avoiding burnout is deciding what doesn't

When this child walked up so proud in his dress clothes, it took my breath away. I admit, I cried. He’s tried my patience all year, but in that moment I realized how much I love him. Behavior is communication, and as educators, we need to help them communicate in a better way.

I adore these educators that stood out in the sun and heat on the last day of school waiting to say, “ We love you,” one more time. #noplacelikejones #jeschat

🎓 We are wasting the resource of our special education teachers if we limit them mostly to helping students complete work. Their skills can reach so much farther when they are in the role of co-designing instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

There really isn’t an excuse for not doing what’s best for kids. A school with a positive culture faces the problem and then asks, “Now what?” 🔸A student is chronically absent? Now what? 🔹A student isn’t achieving? Now what? 🔸A student is dysregulated? Now what? 🔹A

This "measurement scoot" activity was so much fun! The kiddos loved solving these problems while listening to music and helping their friends. And what better way to celebrate being done than with a dance? 😄#jeschat #hack4

Sometimes this is hard to do, but sharing empathy and compassion is part of our call as educators! Every student has light to share, but for that one, it might be covered (for any number of reasons). Be the educator who helps to lift off that cover so that student will shine!
