Kindness counts. 🧡

Who’s with me? TEDxDetroit is returning on Wednesday, Oct 26, 2022 for its largest event yet at Music Hall tedxdetroit.com

Caregivers are just as excited about the 1st day. Seize the opportunity- tell them how much you loved meeting their child today!

Kids make discoveries through sports, but what they absorb is entirely dependent on the context. If a coach degrades players or tolerates backtalk to the referees, then kids will pick up destructive lessons. Linda Flanagan @MCCHarvardEd kqed.org/mindshift/5976…

Teaching character; students learn "how to be" by what we do, rather than what we say.

Thank you for this... Loving your students can do so much more for them (and yes, their academic success) than we often realize.

Higher teacher wages aren’t the answer to every problem, but something is off when a district has to ask families to open homes to teachers. Would you live with a student or just find a job elsewhere? nbcbayarea.com/news/local/mil…

Anyone have thoughts re: teachers sifting/sorting/selecting materials and then paying other teachers (thereby supplementing the incomes of other underpaid colleagues) to provide engaging assignments for students? #ASCD

Dr Nance- You were leadership and character education personified. Thank you for sharing your legacy. RIP legacy.com/us/obituaries/…

Know who your helpers are… and don’t forget to thank them!

The power of an intentional Greeting. This is is how our students feel when staff devote 30-45 seconds of attention just to them!

Want to retain teachers? Model finding joy in daily interactions and observations of those we serve.

When we work together to ensure our kids are kind, caring citizens, they will achieve at higher levels socially, emotionally and academically! #charactereducation #CharacterPlus
