Greeting each student at the door with a positive message brings benefits for both students and teacher.

Each student is looking for a chance to shine; they’re looking for an opportunity to be recognized for their talents. No matter how hard our students push back or how persistent they are in saying ‘they don’t care,’ they care. And deep down, they want to be valued.

Instead of asking: how we can get students reading on grade level? We should ask: how do we develop and support a love for reading? #ReadingWritingTransaction

The best schools have this in common: The adults respect each other, value their colleagues’ contributions, encourage everyone to have a voice, have high professional expectations, and ensure everyone is acknowledged.

When parents drop their kids off at carpool...when they put them on the bus...they want to know their kids are walking into a school w/ adults that will love them & care about their well being. Test scores are important... but that might not be the 1st thing on a parent’s mind.

Every kid cares, no matter what they say or do. Some don't want to even risk failure so they don't try. Some are battling issues at home Some are battling issues with their peers & fitting in. Some lack confidence. Some are afraid to succeed. #teachergoals #kidsdeserveit
