Loved PPS Lessons for introducing us to great books, engineering, Kathy standards-based read aloud Renée Melisa Hayes Calvertela

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.

Yes and yes!!! The connections are crucial!

PSA: Not all phonics and decodable readers are created equal. Some are impoverished and harmful. Just because it says it is SoR aligned doesn’t mean it is or it’s any good. Teachers-please have stringent auditing processes in place before downloading free stuff off the internet.

A vision is only effective if it is shared. So it’s not about the leader; it’s about the team. It’s about the values that are held in common. It’s about the relationships that are built. And it’s about the shared aspirations among everyone in the organization.

Congratulations Ms. Metcalfe! Indian head is lucky to have you!

I used to be like, "Well, you didn't do your writing, so I guess you can't do the lesson or practice your conclusion with us." Now I'm like, "Here's a sample essay without a conclusion. I still want you to be able to work on the skill and be a part of the class." Growing.

Awesome Team!!
