We utilized a clip chart with ADULTS during our training this morning. Turns out that adults absolutely hate this public display of behavior. Resulted in anxiety, disengagement, fear, resentment and embarrassment. If adults don’t like these tools, how do you think kids feel?

A4: For principals, kids won't/can't like us unless we spend time with them. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel like elementary principals need to pull some lunch duty daily just for this reason. #leadupchat

Try to limit yourself to 5-8 minutes of whole group teacher talk time for each class period. Time yourself to see how long you ARE talking on a typical day. If it is more than 10 minutes, they likely won't remember much of what you say anyway. #TeachBetter

One thing I’ve learned...& I wish more people would focus on....teaching is not ALL about relationships. It’s the foundation on which you begin, but great pedagogical practices are necessary to truly do your job & be a great teacher. They‘re not mutually exclusive #KidsDeserveit

In my 21 yrs of teaching, I've used many classroom management strategies--clips, checks, charts--name it, I've tried it, but I've become more and more convinced that effective classroom management comes out of building relationships and knowing when to pick a battle #teacherlife

I think it’s important for admins to recognize and appreciate the challenges that confront their teachers. That’s the only way they can provide effective support. Teaching is hard work... and teachers don’t need to be appreciated from a distance. They need their admin engaged.

When a student walks into your classroom, plops down in the chair, and puts their head on their desk, your first thought should not be: “disrespectful student.” Your first thought should be: “What does this child need?” #TeachBetter

Ways that educators become “book wardens” who restrict reading and undermine reading ownership and choice. @AnnieTWard #readingsummit

BOOM!!! Definition of servant leadership:

Thought for the day: School offices must serve as sanctuaries where S's, parents & staff are served in a manner that leaves them feeling like they're the most important person in these moments of interaction. We must see ourselves as Directors of 1st Impressions...via #Culturize

Yikes! Something to think about when building our testing schedules. Significant differences within only a few hours. #NAESP18

Not usually violent, but when I hear the words “reading” & “accountability” together, I’ve the urge to hit! IF YOU DON’T HAVE A CLASSROOM LIBRARY, ARE NOT CAPABLE OF RECOMMENDING BOOKS TO KIDS B/C YOU DO NOT READ, & DO NOT VALUE CHOICE, IT’S NOT THEM. YOU’RE why they don’t read!
