Effective leadership is a major reason effective teachers remain in a school. Districts leaders, let make sure we are supporting, mentoring, encouraging, and appreciating our school administrators, so they do the same for their staff!

With the focus on standardized test, tech & programs, school systems don't value veteran teachers because they think they're easily replaced. But, like a Picasso or Beethoven it takes years to hone their craft (technique). We need them for their talent of creating masterpieces!

Leaders, the number one thing you can do for student success in 2021 is focus on improving Teacher & Staff Morale.

Teachers to alleviate some stress, just remember, students probably wont remember what was taught specifically during this pandemic, but they will remember how you cared for them and checked on them. Much like how we all fondly remember certain teachers!
