To be innovative, we can't look to what others have done. The whole idea of blazing a path is that there was no path there before.

We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard. Give yourself (and others) grace. Speak life and encourage others. Look for the good today. Remember your WHY. Believe the best is yet to come.

What an awesome experience for @coach_burford @emily_digby & @SpaydSydney! Thank you @gadcsoftball and @Braves for putting on a memorable event. We went 2-0 and Digs won the HR derby!

Stop needing the last word. 2nd to last word is best for hard to reach kids. #thatonekid

If you want your team to serve, serve them. If you want your people to care, care about them. If you want your team to love their work, love them. If you want your employees to be their best, give them your best.

FANS CHOICE FALL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Dacula's Sydney Spayd @SpaydSydney @dacula_softball bit.ly/3xLtngi

Be kind. Say thank you. Hold the door open. Compliment as many people as you can. Point out the good and be the good. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Love, serve and care. The world needs more of this today (and every day)!

Good morning! Be the first this week! Be the first to say hello. Be the first to offer a compliment. Be the first to open a door, leave a kind note, or to do some other kind deed. Be the first to model what we can be towards one another. Have a great day!👊

Classroom management means I manage the only person I control. Do I stay calm when he gets upset? Am I respectful to disrespectful people? Do I take the behavior personally? Am I allowing the behavior to control my emotions? Do I see it as an annoyance or a challenge?#thatonekid

This! 🙌

Go vote for Spayd!!

So important! 🙌

Words truly matter. 🧡

"The next time you see someone enjoying something, that isn’t hurting anyone, that’s not your cup of tea, instead of saying something negative, train yourself to think to yourself 'I’m glad they are happy' and carry on with your life." ~Mark MacKillop

Administrators deserve to have teachers who will fight for them.... My thoughts: toddnesloney.com/2019/11/20/adm… #KidsDeserveIt #TLAP #TellYourStory

Fair means everyone gets what they need. Equal means everyone gets the same. Tell kids, “I promise to be fair. I will not always treat you all the same.” Then be fair & stop worrying about treating them all the same. #edchat #thatonekid #kidsdeserveit #tlap #culturize

5 non negotiables for success w ur most hard to reach kids. 1. We have to like them (or pretend). 2. Private is better than public. 3. Some is better than none. 4. Late is better than not at all. 5. 2nd to last word is best. #edchat #kidsdeserveit #thatonekid #tlap #culturize

If I want to reach kids nobody else reaches I have to do things nobody else is willing to do. That’s what it takes. #edchat #KidsDeserveIt #tlap #thatonekid #teach
