“Don’t make it about you.” Q-TIP = Quit Taking It Personally. Student behavior is communication, not a personal attack. Ts need to listen for the message, don’t take it personally, and create space for connection and growth. @BMSatRSD2 @casas_jimmy

Say it louder so the folks in the back can hear it!

You can’t allow people to opt out instead you have to make them realize you believe in them through your words and your actions. This doesn’t mean you can’t hold them to high expectations. It means you give them the support to reach those high expectations. @BMSatRSD2
When people are allowed to opt out it perpetuates a minimalist culture and breeds resentment among those who have to carry the load. #Culturize #ExpectExcellence

Pondering…If Ts are the difference b/w today and tomorrow, should we spend more time training our Ts. I mean really looking at what the teacher needs to go from average to excellent and providing PD for them. Won’t that benefit Ss more? @BMSatRSD2 @casas_jimmy

“Until we take action, nothing changes.” Don’t just identify a problem, ask yourself, “What are you going to do about it?” @BMSatRSD2 @casas_jimmy

The talent of the @RichlandTwo District Honor Choir is simply amazing! From start to finish, from 10 am to 7 pm these singers worked all day to give a phenomenal performance!

They’ve walked the halls. Faced the tests. Built the memories. Now they’re passing the torch.🔥 🎓At graduation practice, we asked our rising 9th graders at @BMSatRSD2: "What advice would you give to the new 6th graders?" 💬 The answers? Straight from the heart. 👀 Here’s what they had to say… @MazyckKaris #FutureReady

Loved watching my boy capture my 6th graders attention today while he talked to them about what he learned about middle school and what he wished he knew going into high school. @BMSatRSD2

Last night, our very talented students, under the direction of drama teacher, Ms. Chapiesky; chorus teacher, Ms. Tandon; and dance teacher, Ms. Kinard, performed “Alice In Wonderland, Jr” at the R2I2 Performing Arts Center. Incredible performance! @RichlandTwo
