If you’re a leader... ... I don’t care about your mission statement, vision statement, strategic plan, or policy positions... ... as much as I care about how you treat people.

Just reading up on a school who is managing staff wellbeing: Every week they arrange ‘Thank yous’ and birthdays. "We also ask ‘Is there anything to shout-out about?’ and do ‘Staff of the Term.’ All staff nominate someone who has gone the extra mile = they get paid a day’s leave."

Just got a call for a job reference... all the guy wanted to know was how this student works in a team situation and how he communicates! 21st century skills all the way!!!! Students nowadays can learn anything in the way of content, but they need the most help with skills!!!!

Sadly there is a pressure to be paperless. This is putting the focus on the wrong thing. Learning should be the focus and kids should touch something other than a screen.

The educators who are constantly tweeting “positivity” are not in denial about the very real challenges that educators face. They just realize that a good attitude gives you the best chance of solving those problems, & they understand that a negative outlook destroys motivation.

One of the first steps in connecting with a challenging student... is to LIKE them, rather than “put up” with them. It’s amazing how the attitude of the adult can affect the attitude of the kid.

Educators talk a lot about the importance of building “relationships.” What that really means... is that we need to focus on PEOPLE. There’s nothing magical about it... and there’s certainly not a formula. Just value the people around you... and care about their well being.
