Admin, never forget that staff morale is a reflection of leadership.

Leaders be the reason your staff stays, not the reason they leave. Leadership matters!

Earlier today, we hosted a press conference to announce 102 school systems were awarded grants to hire mental health service coordinators to support and expand coordination of mental health services in Alabama school systems.

Leaders can make a school an amazing place thrive and grow, or a dreaded place to endure.

I am all for vigor, hard work, etc. But what if we were to shift education from testing centered to student centered. Instead of tracking, labeling, & focus on weaknesses, what if we develop their strengths? Imagine every child labelled as excelling with their strengths/talents!

I don’t know what will happen this fall when schools across the US should be opening, but I do know that worrying about it will not change anything. Try your best to enjoy your summer break when it comes and focus on your mental health.

Teachers plates can take no more. They currently have five jobs. Teacher, curriculum developer, IT for students, therapist for parents struggling, & office worker. All while trying to survive the pandemic w/ their family too. Let’s all give teachers grace & support right now.

State assessments should be cancelled for all schools immediately. We are now comparing apples to oranges when students are missing 3,4,5 weeks of school, maybe more. Remove that stress now! Put that in your bill and pass it! They will be even more useless than usual.

Superintendents and admin, as you go back to school tomorrow, take a moment & breathe. Remember, your health & health of staff and students are more important than any program change you will implement for the next few weeks. Always people before programs! Especially in a crisis
Teachers, our editors are putting together a beautiful free collection of day by day learning journeys based on our stories and videos, for kids at home due to school closings. We will have them ready next week. Good way to focus our energies during this chaotic time!

Noticed a player tonight (while scouting another kid). At halftime I called a coaching friend and told him he should keep an eye on him. By the end of the game I called him and told him ”nevermind” after sitting near the kid’s father. Parents, don’t ruin your kids’ opportunities.

I wrote Alfie with my fingers crossed that educators and students would find it...and when they do I feel very happy. Thank you!

Love how this story is told from different points of view - Perfect text to get Ss to experiment with POV in their writing. Also a good mentor for practicing for the MCAS narrative task. This book is in my coaching bag. @teerahater

While I support technology infused instruction, flexible seating, fine arts, STEM, robots, music and painting, and devices to present them, students need books to read. Lots of books and lots of time to read them.

If you don’t understand these facts about children then you shouldn’t be making educational policy: 1) Recess should be mandatory. 2) taking away recess should NEVER be a punishment 3) kids learn through physical activity & require it Daily 4) their wellness depends on it
