Just because teachers speak up/ against or disagree doesnt mean they're not "all about the kids". In fact, they may recognize that the 'new" mandates or curriculum aren't effective or more likely just recycled ones from the past that weren't effective the first time.

Administrators, remember your veteran teachers probably have more expertise and experience than the people trying to create and sell new curriculum and initiatives to your district. Seek their input first.

I would encourage every school district to remove something from their teachers plate without adding anything new this fall. As long as we expect teachers to con't to work 50-60+ hours per week, weekends and holidays, then the only real self care is leaving the field.

Teachers who are passionate, on the ball, sometimes outspoken and have high expectations in the classroom, also have the same expectations of their leaders. Effective leaders embrace these staff members who help create a dynamic high performing culture.
