Don't walk...Run to Target's $5 and under section! Check out these adorable chairs and beanbag toss game I snagged! Fun ways to spice up some sight word practice and it can be modified for different skills/ability levels! #IgniteD205 #Target #Engagement

I 💛 starting coaching sessions with a goal setting exercise. It gives #teachers the agency to decide what they want to work toward. This year, I've enjoyed using a spin on Simon Sinek's work w/a golden circle goal setting template. docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Ch… #StudySyncCoaches

Helping teachers develop a "lead learner" mentality is key. I remind the #teachers I coach that they are the lead learner in a classroom which means they should model experimentation, risk-taking & revision. Students need to see that life-long learning in action #StudySyncCoaches

Love to see those scientists at work! Thanks Miss S Darley for sharing this fun activity!

Missed this last week Dr. Mary Henderson ! Ready to start the week ahead!

Thank you @HNoncek and Bridget McDonald for leading and teaching this class!

#ThoughtForTheDay When students struggle to regulate their emotions and reactions, we as adults need to raise our compassion, not our voices. #HandleWithCareEDU

If we're nice to people, people are nice back. It's not a complicated formula.

If they praise you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If they criticize you, SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. If no one even notices you, just SHOW UP and DO THE WORK. Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way. 📷 From page 176 of my book, “The Power of Positive Leadership.”

If you're sorry, say, "I'm sorry." If you say, "I'm sorry but...", then you're not really sorry.
