We hire teachers based on their strengths, but then we manage them based on their weaknesses. This is a morale buster. Leaders, help them develop those strengths this new school year and watch them do amazing things!

Don't think morale is important for adults? Do you think students learn better in a classroom where the teacher is valued, appreciated, supported, and celebrated, or a classroom where the teacher feels isolated, disrespected and hanging on by a thread?

Germany was once home to some 25,000 castles (and palaces), roughly half of which still exist today. These are the 15 most breathtaking examples 🧡 1. Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria (19th century)

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.

Admin, instead of just evaluating, try Aspirational Conversations with staff to show you value them. 1) Have we helped you succeed? 2) What do you think we do well? 3) What do you think would make us better? 4) What are your professional goals? How can we help you achieve them?

It’s a tragedy when schools ditch novels for online textbooks like StudySync that are comprised entirely of short excerpts of text paired with comprehension strategies and multiple choice tests on comprehension strategies.

Teachers who are passionate, on the ball, sometimes outspoken and have high expectations in the classroom, also have the same expectations of their leaders. Effective leaders embrace these staff members because they know together they make each other better! Iron Sharpens Iron
