One person in pursuit of excellence raises the standards of everyone around them. And as they strive for greatness they bring out the greatness in others.
Be that one person today.

One of the worst things we can give kids is a teacher whose mind is filled with content and whose heart is devoid of compassion. #mondaythoughts #edchat

Wow!!!!! So impressed by our Laker community, and all our Weber District schools for coming out today to help clean up our campus. We are so thankful for your help 🙏

Nothing diminishes hope faster than focusing on things you can’t control. The key is focusing on things that you and your teammates can directly influence...like effective instruction, assessment, intervention, and extension.

Kids do not dislike Hard Work. They dislike work that is boring and work that appears meaningless.

The upcoming school year might be one of the toughest ever to be an educator.
It also might be the most exciting and revolutionary.
Mindset will be critical. 💯 – at Beech Grove, IN

Any team can stick together when it's winning. The real test is sticking together when you lose.

Grades are NOT essential for learning. Learning can and does happen all the time without grades, points, or credits. However, learning CANNOT happen without feedback. Feedback IS essential to the learning process. #remotelearning #KeepLearning – at Ferndale, MI

Tonight, let's have tributes of appreciation for school teachers. Because you're amazing, vital engines of optimism that our nation can and will become a better place. Thank you to all who answer the call to service. May the country that emerges appreciate you more.

You don’t have to do a TikTok for them. You don’t have to rap for them. You don’t have to be a comedian for them. And you don’t need a creative handshake for every one of them.
Just take pride in your teaching, genuinely care, and be committed to the success of every student.

#ThoughtForTheDay We should never address students with an I-will-if-you-will attitude. Rather, we should show them that we’ll do our part whether they do theirs or not. This is important because kids don’t just hear us- they imitate us. #Culturize

All kids need accountability. Don't forget to throw in love too!

The opposite of excellence is not failure, it’s apathy.
Failure is part of the PROCESS of learning, growth, and change.
Apathy chooses not to engage in the PROCESS at all.
Apathy is being content, either intentionally or unintentionally, with how things are.

The best classroom management strategy is to like your students. Its not a feeling. It’s a choice.
Choose to see the best in them.
No one wants to disappoint someone who genuinely cares about them.

Simply giving a kid a consequence does not get to the root cause.

"When teachers started class by welcoming students at the door, academic engagement increased by 20 percentage points and disruptive behavior decreased by 9 percentage points—potentially adding an hour of engagement each day." 🔥 #HackingSchoolDiscipline edut.to/2O0VpxC

@Miss_Bennett7 incorporating small groups into her math lesson!! Some students are reviewing their Problem Set with the teacher, while other students practice skills on Zearn! A great to differentiate and meet the needs of all learners! #owbears #sd113a
