Before content, before curriculum, before pacing comes connection. In subjects where confidence is fragile and stakes feel high, creating spaces where every learner feels seen and knows their voice matters is more urgent than ever. #SeeMeπ.

Reflection is one of the keys to success. If it worked, keep it. If it sort of worked, tweak it. If it bombed, scrap it. Reflection is how we grow. It is how we excel.

ππΎTHIS! . Can't allow others' perceptions to shape what you can do for a kid!.
Are you taking the temperature of your classroom or setting it?β―.If we let prior expectations define our students, weβve already given up the thermostat. Set the tone. Lead the climate. #BeAThermostatTeacher #SetTheTemp

π this before right? While it may only be a gradual π in results for Year 1 (less than 3%). Year 2 brings bigger growth, often double, thanks to the βinvested in culture and relationships 1st.

βπΎ reason if you ask me π€·πΎββοΈ. Positive or negative culture impacts not only the kids but everyone in the school who is there to support them.
There are 57 reasons that school culture is important, but you only have to know one of them: it matters for kids.

What most people donβt realize about teachers:. Theyβre often the most consistent non-family adult in a childβs lifeβ. and sometimes, the most consistent adult, period. Kids donβt just want consistency. They need it. And teachers quietly show upβevery single day.

Iron sharpens iron βοΈ.
Embrace the opportunity to learn from others and surround yourself with people who can challenge you to be your best self. By actively seeking out those more knowledgeable than you, you can learn new things and expand your understanding of the world.

We must normalize the career ready in college & career readiness!.
If weβre only preparing students for college, weβre failing to prepare them for life. Real success means offering real-world pathwaysβlike career training, skilled trades, and entrepreneurshipβbecause college isnβt the only door to a meaningful future.
