We need to be intentional about building relationship with students, but we also need to be intentional about building relationships with colleagues. Go out of your way to say hi, to give a compliment, and to get to know the people at your school. #teachergoals #relationships

"The impending teacher strike in Oklahoma is a crucible of the future of public schools in America. More than a movement to raise salaries, the teacher strike is a referendum on respect for a beleaguered profession." teapawt.org/OSSBAoklahoma/status/9…

If you're NOT leading the FUN in your classroom, a student may take that role and it might not be in a way that's helpful.😳 #edchat #sunchat

1. Leave yesterday's failures in the past. 2. Don't let doubters bring you down. 3. Believe that it can be done. 4. Take massive action to reach your goals. 5. Keep pushing forward even when it's hard.

Replying to @GovMaryFallin
@GovMaryFallin if #OkLeg would invest in #OklaEd at the regional average we would be #1 in money going toward instruction. Bottom line is we have a revenue problem. Stop the cheap political theater and invest in our students.

Learning is not a grade, a test score, or a diploma. Learning is a lifelong pursuit of joy, passion, and excellence. #satchat #FutureDriven – at Missouri, USA

Every Student asks 3 ?'s about their Teacher everyday. 1. Can I trust you? 2. Do you believe I can succeed? 3. Do you care about me? #edchat
