As teachers are working to meet the needs of their students, who is ensuring that teachers have what they need to remain whole? Teachers' emotional struggles have a DIRECT INFLUENCE on their interactions with students. We must care for teachers, which will in turn help STUDENTS!

This #FeatureFriday goes to the AMAZING @dinahtherapy for her insightful presentation during @RichlandTwo District In-Service. From the Mental Wellness Check-Ins to the Repair and ReconcialiACTION. We must #ChangetheNarrative to reach all students! @dr_suber

Teacher tired isn't just about all the decisions made each day or trying to engage and teach a classroom full of students, which is a lot, but it is also the energy, love, & care that they put into helping all those students become their best self. Thank You Teachers!

10 Signs of a positive school culture * clear vision not division * staff input * people over policies * communication 2 way street * trust is key * collaborate over compete * support/ encouragement * strengths maximized * handle conflict positively * successes celebrated

If you’re asking teachers to stay at school for 12 hours (for BTS or conferences), you should be providing at least one meal. Just sayin.

Teachers should not have to work well beyond contracted hours (unpaid) just to get things done. Then we wonder why there is a 50% attrition every 5 years. This year will be off the charts if we don’t change expectations. We need state and district leaders to step up for teachers.

As adults, we need to stop 'stealing the struggle' from our kids. When we 'steal the struggle', we steal their opportunity for growth & learning. We need to prepare them for the path (teach resilience, reflection, and self-respect), but we can't prepare the path for them.

I’ve got a couple extra Read More. Ban Less. water bottles, and want to give them away—one here, one on Instagram. Want one? RT this tweet and follow me to enter to win one here. Bonus entry: tag a pal! Also, along with the bottle, I’ll give the winner some copies of my books!

Principals: as @DrBradJohnson says so eloquently, “Take care of the staff, so they can take care of the students.”If you’re not their biggest advocate, who will be? @HSSD

There are still so many teachers that need our help clearing their list. I am not sleeping that great because of the guilt I can’t get to them all. If you haven’t done so please find a list from my retweets or down my timeline. They’re the most appreciative humans ever!
