Today I was asked, what do teachers do in the summer with 2 months off? I thought carefully before responding, the school year is like a marathon so the first month of summer is spent recovering and the second month is spent training and preparing for the next one. 😉 Point made! – at Cutler, FL

Emotional intelligence must be taught and modeled in schools if we want to create leaders. #teachergoals

Don't always rush to help students on their classwork. Don't rush to help them with their social issues.
We need to let students struggle through things sometimes, stand on their own two feet, in order to develop students that are resilient and problem-solvers. #growthmindset

Never doubt your ability to get through to that kid that no one has reached yet. #teachergoals #growthmindset

Boredom is important for kids to experience. "The ability to handle boredom, not surprisingly, is correlated with the ability to focus and to self-regulate." @PamelaPaulNYT owl.li/VUKm30nA2vk via @nytimes

THIS is profound! As parents & educators, we hold such a delicate responsibility as we engage with our children. Think before you speak & act. Be thoughtful & kind! #BeKindEdu #KidsDeserveIt #TLAP #NCSW19

Teachers don’t always need to inspire kids. Sometimes, it’s enough just to be nice to them. It’s hard to be a kid.

We frequently hear teaching and being an educator is rewarding… it absolutely is. But, it is also hard work.
I know of no rule that says you have to choose one over the other- So, students first and remember teachers first too.
Without committed teachers, nothing works.

It is critical for the principal to set the example of what behaviors are acceptable in the school. This requires consistency and a congruence between what the leader says and does. Inconsistency results in confusion and staff often not believing the words of the principal.

Many teachers believe that students learn best when taught according to their preferred learning style. But it turns out that’s a myth. edut.to/2Dx27rc

Teachers can't "flip a switch" and turn their Teacher brain off when they are at home. Teaching is life-consuming! Unlike other professions, Teaching is more than mental, but Heart work! Kids stay on your Heart and Mind at all times! You can't turn it off! It's who you are!

Aristotle wrote: “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” His words help explain why some students love to read and others dislike & avoid it: Unless reading affects mind & heart, students are merely decoders. @ERobbPrincipal @DrMaryHoward

We need to be intentional about building relationship with students, but we also need to be intentional about building relationships with colleagues.
Go out of your way to say hi, to give a compliment, and to get to know the people at your school.

Principals, challenge yourself to learn something about each student in your school.
Teachers, challenge yourself to learn something about each student on your class roster(s).
Knowing something about them helps you learn their names more quickly.
That means A LOT. – at Arkansas, USA

Have parents or students ever come back or reached out to thank you years after they left your classroom? bit.ly/2tPuGtu
