Before you lower your expectations of a student, build an even stronger relationship first and watch them rise to meet them.

#DecaturProud of @DTSExcellence teacher Ms. Boardman. She was our 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year!!!! Thanks Ms. Boardman for all the hard work with our students and families.

Educators and leaders, please don't "not" talk about what happened yesterday. Provide a safe space for our students to discuss it, the historical significance, and what to do next. We can't be silent, sweep it under the rug, or pretend they didn't see it.

New blog post, this one is a little different. Hope you guys enjoy. https://t.co/OvJnUOe5dG

Be careful class rules are never more important than relationships. More can be accomplished through a relationship than a rule could ever hope to achieve. When you make effort to connect, it makes it much easier to direct & correct. #HackingSchoolDiscipline -@davidgeurin

Very proud of our two @nextech Catapult graduates David R and Drew F!

Remember that they are still kids. They may drive you nuts sometimes, but they are the reason we do what we do. #kidsdeserveit #behaviorflip

A lot of times it's not the content...it's the things getting in the way of a child socially, emotionally, behaviorally, etc. If we want successful students, we need to work on skills to help overcome non-academic barriers. #behaviorflip #SEL

Had my @KenzieAcademy signing event tonight! So very excited for my adventure into software engineering to come and all the opportunities I see happening there. STOKED!

1 of 2 Attention Juniors and Seniors: The Greater Indianapolis Southside College Fair will be held at the University of Indianapolis on March 11, 2019 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Students should look for the ARC (the inflatable bubble) next to the Schwitzer Student Center.

Relationships with kids don't happen over night. With your most challenging students, it can take a long time. It is hard, it is disappointing at times, but only persistence will yield success. A child needs to see that you aren't giving up on them. #relationships #teachergoals

When the adults in a #school acknowledge & greet each other kindly & genuinely, it’s a clear modeling & example for #students to do the same to their fellow classmates. This is #culture building one salutation at a time. #edchat #education
