I’m convinced we don’t give up because it’s hard. We give up because we get discouraged. That’s why it’s so important to encourage yourself and your team.

You can’t motivate someone if you don’t know what motivates them. When you get to know the people you lead you’ll know how much you need to challenge/encourage them.

Is he going to college for engineering? LOL. But really We do need more opportunities to put tools in kids hands! Not just CTE or wood shop.
I worked with a kid today who didn't know the difference between a flat head or phillips and had never used any kind of screwdriver in his life. Moments like that make me wonder what life skills we could be teaching instead of chasing the data tail.

On February 19, 1968, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood debuted on PBS Television. During that first episode, Mr. Rogers taught us that change leads to new ideas. Fast-forward 50 years later. In education, we would do well to heed this lesson.

Most powerful statement made to me today by a student. “I know we tell our teachers to go away and leave us alone when we are frustrated... but I honestly want them to stay and help me.

Loving your team also means you challenge them to reach their full potential. You don't let them settle for anything but their best.

When you go through adversity you find out who your real friends are. You find it who is just along for the ride and who’s willing to push the bus when it breaks down.

Teachers don’t just teach. They support, guide, listen, emphasize, care, and love all while dedicating countless hours to making a difference in the lives of kids. For this and many other reasons they deserve our respect and admiration.

They didn’t run into burning buildings because of fear. They did it because of love. Love is more powerful than fear. #911Neverforget

Great teams have Positive Discontent. Even when they’re having success they still identify what they can do better and continuously improve. When they’re not succeeding their discontent motivates them to improve. They stay positive and believe the best is yet to come.

One person in pursuit of excellence raises the standards of everyone around them. And as they strive for greatness they bring out the greatness in others. Be that one person today.
