Congratulations to Kayla Howell, 3rd-grade teacher at E.M. Yoder Elementary School, for being named the ABSS Outstanding Elementary Mathematics Teacher! π She was nominated because she empowers her class to truly understand the βwhyβ behind mathematical concepts! #ThisisABSS

Dear parents,
Your child does not need to be the smartest in the class, the best on the field, or the most talented in the room.
But they do need to be teachable.
We are raising a generation that can Google anything, yet too many are forgetting how to listen, how to respect, and how to learn.
Being teachable is not about grades or intelligence. It is about humility.
It is about knowing you do not have all the answers.
It is about being open when someone is trying to help you grow.
Our job is not to raise kids who always get it right.
It is to raise kids who can take feedback without shutting down.
Who can admit when they are wrong.
Who can disagree without being disrespectful.
Who can be corrected without becoming defensive.
Because in the long run, teachability will take them further than talent alone.

Principals, stock up on Post-it notes for fall! When you visit classrooms, leave a post-it note on their desk telling them how lucky their students are to have them & share something you learned or enjoyed about the visit. I call them "Post-its of Praise"

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote Iβve ever heard.
βTo be successful at anything, the truth is you donβt have to be special. You just have to be what most people arenβt: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.β

Today, Gov. Cooper presented his budget which includes an 8.5% pay raise for our teachers and $1B investment in public education. We must do the right thing and invest in our public schools, not taxpayer funded private school vouchers for the wealthy.

Challenging kids to move beyond "I don't know.β π¬β
What are your favorite replacements for "I don't know?" π
Educator @psloanjoseph knows that when Ss have alternatives they're likely to keep pushing β and learning! #GrowthMindset
ALT Anchor chart titled "Technique: No Opt Out." Below, it says, "It's okay not to know, but it's not okay not to try." At the center of a page are the words "I don't know. I can't," surrounded by alternatives ("May I please have more information?" etc).
