Above all, I dare you to do good
So that the world might be great.
"I only ask that you care before it’s too late,
That you live aware and awake,
That you lead with love in hours of hate."
At #UNGA, poet, activist & @unicef supporter @theamandagorman shared a powerful poem calling for urgent action to achieve the #GlobalGoals.

![This year, I've started doing affirmations with the kids. Just three right now: "I can do hard things, I can try my best, and I'm a good friend." We came out of PE the other day, and one of my kids looked at me and said, "I did hard things in PE because I can do hard things." And my whole heart [emojis for crying and hearts] -- Heather Lippert, Teacher P.S. Special credit goes to Glennon Doyle for coining the expression "we can do hard things."](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlaYD1oXoAMzYJN.jpg?name=orig)

When teachers keep rapport-building separate from academic content, students might know the teacher likes them but not whether the teacher believes that they can learn. @MirPloMCPS @wwnorton

There’s a tremendous difference between teaching the curriculum and teaching children.
Some of us get stuck on the what, but it will always, always be the who first, the why next and then the what.
At least for me.

I am enjoying reading the blog posts from my students in #EDLEAD6240. What a great group of leaders! @UNIEdLead
The podcast @cultofpedagogy has me relating to the concept of twitter being the best PD for those in education but I haven’t been using it to its fullest potential. Looking forward to maximizing that learning in this space #EDLEAD6240 #UNIEdLead cultofpedagogy.com/how-to-us…

A skill I never expected to see on our son's kindergarten report card:
“Can independently mute and unmute himself when requested to do so”

An excellent article, about teaching through a pandemic. At this time, we really need to take care of our mental health, and remember that this is not "business as usual". #StaySafe #onted
