I can’t get over these images from the James Webb Space Telescope! They’re igniting curiosity and wonder in a whole new generation.

Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today and every day, Michelle and I are grateful to our troops and their families for their sacrifice, courage, and strength.

There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence. The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year. Support your new teachers. 🔺Check on them daily. 🔸Model lessons for them. 🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1. 🔸Provide specific feedback. 🔺Model the first phone call home. 🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them. 🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often. Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple. What did I miss?
