When administrators spend time in classrooms, they are reminded how much those teachers have to plan, how much they have to manage, and how unbelievably patient they are. Teachers are the heart and soul of every school.

Some students have taller mountains to climb. We can’t climb the mountains for them… but an awareness of the mountains reminds us of the importance of our patience and support.

Every one working in a public school district’s central office that is not clerical, should be required to sub 10 days in the district EVERY year, including the Superintendent, Chiefs, etc. and it should have to be at 10 different schools. The disconnect between what is happening in schools and what central office thinks is happening has never been wider.

Common clues for who is an effective teacher in a school are not reliable. It's not who is most involved in after school activities, who praises the school the loudest, who smiles and says yes during meetings. You've got to get much more hands-on if you want to identify talent.

It’s already happening
Districts and schools banning cellphones. Administration lacking the spine to enforce the prohibition. Teachers growing tired of enforcing it without support.
Next step: cellphones in schools again
We cannot admit this defeat. Children deserve better
Adults needs to be the adults in the building and enforce the gosh darn rules

Today… your kindness to a student could end up being the highlight of their day.
Let that sink in for a moment.

We earn the respect of our students by how we treat them.
It’s usually that simple.

Students know when a teacher is real. They have a radar for authenticity.
* Admit when you've made a mistake
* Say Thank You
* Don't feel like you have to know it all
* Listen to them/ ask them about their interests
* Use humor/ stories
* Let them know/ see you really care

During Spring Break, our Fine Arts Dept represented Brenham as a Disney Imagination Campus. Our Cub Band & Brenham Belles paraded down Main Street at Magic Kingdom. Meanwhile, our Cub Company Theatre Department participated in a Disney workshop focusing on lights & staging.
