Come Monday morning, a child will ignore you and seem rude. All night his parents will be screaming, slamming doors, and taking the worst of their anger out on him before he gets on the bus. This child isn't rude, but hurt! Show Grace, Be Mercy, Give Love! These Kids need us!!!
Teachers,
If you haven't already, you will soon receive your class roster.
Know this about your roster:
The kids chosen to be in your class is no accident. You are in their life for a reason and a divine purpose. You are the difference! YOU! #edchat
Students may not remember every lesson, but they will remember how we responded when they were excited to share something with us.
If they’re excited to tell you something, be excited to listen.
Hard Conversations for school leaders become a lot easier when the leader truly cares about their people.

A principal doesn’t just enforce policy—they are the policy. The principal's behavior is the loudest one in the building!

Teachers,
That Low-Income, Disengaged, Below Grade-Level Kid with an Attitude. Do you believe they have Greatness within them? Do you believe they have the potential to one day perform your surgeries, handle your legal matters, and run your city? The Potential IS THERE! Believe!

Leadership is about doing whatever it takes to help your team succeed. Average leaders make excuses and let things happen. Great leaders take ownership and get things done.
📉 Poor grades don’t motivate struggling students — they just make them hate school even more. 💔🎓
So what does motivate them?
💡 Patience
🔁 Reteaching
🤝 Caring Adults
🔄 Second Chances
❤️ Strong Relationships

The Best Teachers are Great because of Choices they make. Not Talent. Choices such as:
🍎 Showing Patience when students don't learn
🍎 Being Love when kids are hurting
🍎 Listening
🍎 Being Positive
🍎 Choosing to make Every student feel like the favorite!
We cannot assume our students know we care about them. We have to tell them we care. We have to notice when they are gone. We have to make a big deal about them when they walk through the door. Every child is wondering, does my teacher care & think I am special. – at Maryville, TN
A lot of things are important. Few things are urgent. Nothing is worth freaking out about.
