Let’s not kid ourselves…the right book can change everything for a person. No matter the age. Our biggest gap in schools is the literacy gap…thankfully there is a solution. It’s simple but it’s hard. Read GENEROUSLY at all levels in all subjects. #bebold

Well, @SarahThornellTX and I have another one entering high school this year. Normally a freshman entering a 3000+ student school would be anxious but we know he is in good hands with Principal @smilestacymiles and the rest of the @EatonHighSchool crew! Great time last night!

Rereading ‘Results NOW 2.0’ by Mike Schmoker and had to pause and read this quote a couple of times. We need to recognize ineffective practices (easy part) and do something about it (harder). As leaders, what we allow will continue, and worse, sends a message it’s okay. #BEBOLD

Yes!!!!.
I avoided the teacher’s lounge when I was teaching because it tended to be where discontentment & complaints went to get fertilized & spread. Today, there are social media accounts with tens of thousands of followers that are like a virtual teacher’s lounge. My advice to.

Reading this (again) while it rains…you can try and find a more straightforward message in an education book, but you won’t find one. Thank you @unfoldthesoul I can hear you was I turn the pages. #bebold

RT @BooktastersAuth: If you keep rewriting chapter one, your story can’t move. It’s okay to write it badly. Just write it. .
