Any school handing out packets of worksheets for summer break. I'd like to know what research you read supporting this practice? The intention of halting summer slide doesn't count if it doesn't work.

This summer spend time with your little ones & (teenage babes!) connect with them, enjoy the time you have with them, play board games, do whatever they are interested in! Dr. Jody Carrington

C. Triola Gretchen The best principals support teachers so that teachers can support students. I’ll never understand how principals take on this new role and immediately forget how incredibly demanding teaching is. Teachers need support.

Schools do not thrive because of programs or plans… they thrive because of the passionate educators in the building.

Hey you amazing educators, how are your hearts? Every day you show up for our kids, our greatest commodity, and the future leaders of this wild world. And, every day I know this to be true: if you’re not ok, our kids don’t stand a chance.

So true, building relationships with students in the beginning sets the tone for the whole year and the most important thing to begin with!! #gsacrd LegalSchool_GSACRD GSACRD

Gratitude is also a practice. You’re not born with it. You have to practice to get good at it. Some days, you will do this beautifully. Other days, you will struggle. Your only job? Intend every day, bravely, to find it. And you will.
