@disneyplus Is there an option to “resume” or “play from the beginning” that I’m missing? Asking for my kids who never watch more than the first 25 min. of a movie.

@BeckyThibeault ❤️ Not 100% sure ☺️

@MrsLChristian you were on my list...can you guess which category?

Figuring out who makes up my dream team #BeTheOne #mascstuco

Modeling and living what we ask students to do each day.

Never underestimate the power of intentional, scripted, rehearsed lessons.

Love this. Modeling what we ask of our students and teachers. blogs.edweek.org/edweek/finding…

@EricaKWood Yes. I saw this online. Do you have the article?

Interested to read this one @MrsLChristian

Not easy but essential for growth.

It is noble and worthy of our best- each and every day.

So much of the success in the classroom comes down to intentional and thoughtful planning. Proactive rather than reactive. edutopia.org/article/8-proa…

@abigail_crane @jimknight99 @JSmithIDC @netforceisma Model the learning, energy, passion, and partnerships that you want to see.

First day as an instructional coach. Nervous, but mostly excited 😆. So far, here’s what I know: 1. Relationships come first 2. Listen, listen, ask questions, listen some more 3. Extend grace— on others and yourself. What would you add? @jimknight99 @JSmithIDC @netforceisma

Support for teachers. Proactive rather than reactive.

@EricaKWood Nothing by chance- intention and purpose.

“It was as if the school was playing an educational lottery with the lives of children— rolling the dice to see which students would receive an excellent opportunity to learn... and which would not.” -Learning by Doing

This need for equity is great— an IMPLEMENTED, viable curriculum, every teacher growing and being supported intentionally, systematically, and the being held accountable for building boulders... because EVERY child deserves the best that we have to offer!

@DeniseBearden @jimknight99 @SolutionTree @unfoldthesoul Listen, listen, listen some more. Questioning and listening not only allow you to gain an understanding of the current reality but also build relationships. Also, remember that the behaviors you model set the tone not only in a classroom but with how coaching is perceived :)

Tomorrow is DAY ONE as instructional coach. Department chair/county-level instructional leader for years in county, but starting as coach at different high school in same district. What suggestions do you have? #NCTEvillage #educoach @jimknight99 @SolutionTree @unfoldthesoul

Great reminders!

Simple and meaningful

Great leaders..... -Small ego, big mission. -We before me. -A lot of love and accountability. -A lot of grace and truth. -Demanding but not demeaning. -Loving but not enabling. -Shout praise. Whisper criticism. -High standards, low tolerance for excuses.

You can learn a lot about someone based on how they respond and react to the success of others. Do your best to surround yourself with those who want to celebrate and share in your success. Keep these kinds of people close and be certain to return the favor. #life #attitude

Our awesome professional privilege and obligation.

Professional development without continuous, intentional support and reflection isn’t professional development. It’s a single session of one-way information with a hope of growth.
