You may not have a Teacher of the Year Award to hang on your wall, but the handwritten notes & drawings from your students that are tucked in your desk drawer or hanging on the wall are the real trophies that motivate and inspire you to be your very best!

5 tips to reduce stress of staff. 1) if asking to meet with staff member, let them know why. 2) Don't address an issue you have with one person with the whole staff. 3) praise a lot more than you critique 4) fewer meetings 5) continual encouragement, support, and praise.

I donโt do many whole class novels, but #WalkTwoMoons leads to such great discussion. I love listening in on partnerships as some of the questions start to get answered. @ciaobellacreech

I think itโs usually a bad a idea for leaders to issue blanket admonitions to the entire staff when itโs really about one offender. It usually makes the conscientious employees feel guilty, and the offender probably isnโt listening.

People are not born extraordinary. They become extraordinary when they make the decision not to settle for average.

There are adults in your school today who are feeling awesome. And you also have colleagues who are barely hanging on. You might know the difference between them & you might not. Educators can put on a good face. If youโre struggling today...keep hanginโ on. Youโve got this!

Principals donโt set the tone at the faculty meeting. They set the tone in the hallway, in the classroomsโฆ and with all the little conversations.
