Absolutely 🙌

When you have a difficult, disrespectful, and defiant student, my biggest tip for you… is to have lots of conversations with them when they are not in trouble. These conversations are where you build rapport… and that rapport makes future confrontations less likely.

You can transform your school’s culture for FREE. It doesn’t cost anything to focus on the kids. It doesn’t cost anything to collaborate. And it doesn’t cost anything to keep a positive attitude.

Dragon Nation, we are coming together to aid our neighbors in Waverly. Some of our very own were affected by the flooding. If you would like to help, you may drop off any of the listed items at our front office before 3pm tomorrow. WDKN will be carrying the supplies to Waverly.

There are students everywhere… who never liked a subject until they got that one special teacher. So it doesn’t matter what your subject is… you have the potential to be that one special teacher.

Positive leaders don’t sugarcoat the situation. But they also don’t let negativity sour their spirit. Stay positive and keep working for a better tomorrow.

Failure is a comma, not a period.

The teachers who have the biggest impact on kids, practice empathy. They don’t just teach their students; they try to understand them.

Great reminder for the new year.

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.

Servant leadership isn't just serving those you lead, but serving the needs of those you lead. You find out their needs by spending time with them and listening to them.

10 Signs of a positive school culture * clear vision not division * staff input * people over policies * communication 2 way street * trust is key * collaborate over compete * support/ encouragement * strengths maximized * handle conflict positively * successes celebrated

You have a choice today. You can complain about things you can't control or you can control what you can control and let go of what you can't. You can focus on your problems or focus on getting better. You can look for an excuse or you can look within and find your best.
