Sometimes we make things more complicated than they need to be. When making a decision, “Is this going to be good for the humans we serve?” If the answer is yes, we find a way.

If our work with teachers is more focused on compliance than learning, we shouldn’t be surprised when their work with students is more focused on compliance than learning.

In a great classroom, the students aren’t the only learners. The TEACHER is a learner also. When teachers are curious, when they are vulnerable, when they continue to grow… they provide stronger instruction, and they provide a great example to their students.

Our seniors are thankful for the patience and faith of their lab instructors. 🍎 #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Sometimes what a student needs is a little bit of faith, thanks Mr. Snapp! Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek! 🍎

Ms. Mac brought joy to this student's time at Great Oaks! Oh joy! 😹 #HappyTeacherAppreciationWeek

I too admire Emma Godfrey ‘s style in both teaching and fashion!

Took notes on for what students thanked their favorite “home school” teachers. “Love and support,” “saw me as a person,” fun and engaging, “didn’t make us do busy work,” “served as a therapist”... Teachers who put compassion over content, hands down, make the greatest impact.

Teacher gold reminder dropped by Joan Stear, a Health Teacher at West ClermontHS: “Every job has its ups and downs, but none are as rewarding as teaching” and “OBGYNs get to see babies being born but we (hs educators) get to see adults being born!” @GO_RealLife

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

I love Mason City Schools. They always support the WHOLE child💚❤️💛🖤🧡.

It’s a perfect night for a fire. I’m loving this beaut I won in an auction. It was made by students in the auto collision and welding programs at Laurel Oaks. Great Oaks Career Campuses #Discoveryourgreatness
