Being a teacher for a long time does not automatically make you a better teacher... Continually getting better through learning from mistakes, trying new things, and being a lifelong learner makes you a better teacher. #teachergoals

Something that should be included with our academic standards. #HackingSchoolDiscipline

Think about it. The best Teachers in Schools are the best not because of Test Scores, Popularity, or Experience, but because of how they affect the Culture & Climate in a positive way! Thanks for being that Teacher! #edchat

Leadership Is NOT about controlling others. Leadership IS about LIFTING others.

Genuinely caring for kids matters more to them than any teaching strategy #teachergoals

I’m convinced the best way for schools to teach equity, empathy, respect, appreciation, and understanding, is for adults to model these behaviors each and every day for our #students. #edchat #education

Sure, our students make poor choices from time to time. But guess what, so do the adults who are charged with their care. The truth is we all benefit from a world with more grace; more opportunity to reflect, refine, and improve. #edchat #education

The way it's always been done does not legitimize or excuse bad or ineffective practices. #realtalk #teachergoals

The number one factor in student achievement is the teacher in the room. #HackingSchoolDiscipline https://t.co/Zh38ud8LEm

#HackingSchoolDiscipline Creating connections with students models respect, empathy, AND sets the stage for meaningful conversations about self-awareness and appropriate expression of emotions! @NmaynardEdu @WeinsteinEdu #fmsteach @BethHouf

0% of any teaching strategy works 100% of the time. There are many paths to success. Be agile and flexible. #teachergoals

Love this reminder from @cultofpedagogy. If we focus on “covering” curriculum, we make a checklist of teacher talking points. Our job as educators is facilitating student learning and empowerment, not ticking off our to-do lists. #pypchat #ibpyp
