☑️ What we do. ☑️ How we do it. 🎯 Why we do it. Start with why & open the door to limitless possibilities. The magic happens when you lead with empathy & enthusiasm. Passion is contagious! #edchat #leadupchat #joyfulleaders #kidsdeserveit

Educators are SO Rich! 💲 We spend our day with kids! 💲 We change lives 💲 We deliver Hope 💲 We make all other professions possible 💲 We are never forgotten and make the world a better place, one child at a time!

We don’t define our success by our salary, our last promotion, or the zip code of our school. Our success is found in the difference we make for our students and for our colleagues. It is hard to measure, and it’s hard to quantify... but it is what gives our work true meaning.

Negative Teachers think "that" kid is Seeking Attention. Positive Teachers know "that" kid is Seeking a Relationship. {big difference} #edchat #education

There is a good chance that some of your students have not heard a word of kindness or encouragement from an adult in a long time. Change that today. Speak kindness, encouragement, pride, joy to every student before today ends. #KindnessChallenge #MakeItReal #ThursdayThoughts

Sometimes as adults we forget what it's like to be a kid. That's why empathy & understanding are so important. Remember, being a kid can be tough.

Whether you’re a new teacher or a veteran, this can be a tough stretch of the school year. Remember that it’s not your job to be someone else. Just be yourself. You are enough. #TeacherMyth

Online or offline, if you want to push someone's learning, there has to be a relationship present. When people feel valued, they are more likely to grow than if they feel the opposite. It is okay to push, even beneficial, but growth happens best through a feeling of support.

Teachers in an average school work Hard. Teachers in a good school work Together. Teachers in a Great school do both...work Hard & Together! #edchat

People with strength of character... 1. Don’t fear the opinions of others. 2. Listen to opposing viewpoints. 3. Apologize sincerely for mistakes. 4. Are happy when others are successful. 5. See inherent value in each person. 6. Believe the best of others. 7. Forgive quickly.

It's a new week! Who's ready to connect with students? 5 ways you can connect with students that don't cost a dime: 1) High fives 2) Fist bumps 3) Smile 4) Ask about the weekend 5) Ask about their interests #TeacherMyth

Kindness alone does not make a great school leader. Neither do test scores. Both matter! #edchat

Teaching is a ridiculously hard job and the only one on the planet that I feel like we have to “justify” to those who do not do the work. When we create a culture where we can share, we create a culture where we are proud to shout about our schools. #hackingleadership

Texans can use our proud history of gun ownership, gun rights, gun safety, and gun responsibility as a place from which to lead. We can sit down with any person of any party in any place and at any time to figure out how we can make sure that this does not continue to happen.
