"To empower students to advocate for themselves and others, we must love students NO MATTER what. Even when it’s hard, even when we’re tired and even when they are a lot of work. Our love can’t be conditional based on their behavior, performance or skill set. Love them even on really tough days, and try again tomorrow." ––Principal Angie Vandecar

What's one way leaders can make sure teachers feel seen? P @StefaniePitzer posts notes on their goal-setting posters in the staff lounge, celebrating ways she sees them reaching their goals.
A staff lounge wall with posters illustrating teachers' "one word for 2023." Each poster has handwritten notes attached on sticky note.

First time hearing @DrBDinkins in person and he did not disappoint. Awesome session and great takeaways. “Teacher-student relationships are at the core of what we do” “Our EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is just as important as out IQ” #InnovativeSchoolsSummit

If you'll be welcoming in families during end-of-year celebrations, consider posting an interactive anchor chart like this! (Inspiration via educator @mssears5)
Whiteboard with a piece of chart paper that says "What about your child's learning are you most proud of?" Beside the chart is written a note: "Please write your answers on a post-it and put it on the anchor chart before you leave.
