The perks of working late (at an elementary school)! Seeing @mjdopey's little chicks follow her to the elevator was the highlight of my Thursday! 🐥 @ARPanthers

When you see someone doing something good, take 30 seconds to tell them you noticed.
Make sure they feel good about doing good.
It’s these small gestures that have a huge effect on #culture & climate.
This is amazing! Thank you @HuestisBill for all you do for our students #districtonthemove

4 ways to be a good colleague:
1) Give the adults around you the benefit of the doubt.
2) Focus on solutions rather than dwelling in negativity.
3) Demonstrate a relentless commitment to doing right by kids.
4) Be willing to stand in the gap when your colleague needs help.
