As leaders, we need to be gifting time and creating spaces for our educators to #collaborate effectively on curriculums that are #culturallyresponsive and highly engaging.

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it. In supportive cultures, people speak up and support down. They protect people without power by raising problems to those with it.

@andymakes_ @HelenHaine Tautoko. A 3 day weekend was a very popular gift at a recent kura I worked in.

@HelenHaine Wow, that's amazing indeed!

Got my BoT chair hat on: What would be a meaningful gift, gesture at this time for an AKL teacher? Ideas please! #edchatnz

Resilience isn’t about immunity to pain. It’s about finding the strength to withstand strain. You don't need to overcome all your hardships now. You just have to carry them until your future self can handle them. The burdens that seem heavy today usually feel lighter tomorrow.

Some parents judge schools by the test scores. But there are a lot of parents who judge schools by the attitude of their child when they get home in the afternoon. We need to be working to raise student achievement… but we also need to be creating good experiences for kids.

We hire teachers based on their strengths but then we manage them based on their weaknesses. This is a morale buster. Leaders, help them develop those strengths this new year and watch them excel.

Aligning our practice with our beliefs. Still a struggle all these years later. The Surprising Truth About Learning in Schools | Will Richardson | TEDxW... youtu.be/sxyKNMrhEvY via @YouTube
