Labels shape actions. If you call them "low," don't be surprised when your expectations—and results—follow suit. Speak life, teach high. #RuthlessEquity

Great quote: “The thing that does seem to work really well is finding a way to communicate that teens can make a real contribution, that their opinions actually matter, and that you, as the adult, are going to walk that journey with them.” edutopia.org/article/the-sci…

If you’re a teacher, the “10,000 hour rule” of becoming an expert would take 9.25 years of teaching 6 hrs/day for 180 days. But just like 10,000 hours of piano scales & composing songs are much different, to become experts we can’t just teach, we must teach better.

Keep in mind there a student that needs you today. - It might be your high five, your smile in the hallway, the conversation about a life lesson, your classroom vibe, or maybe it’s just you being you. Giving them that sense of “safe” and comfort today. ❤️Let that sink in …
