School districts, if you are dealing with high attrition and turnover, remember that teachers/ staff rarely leave a job where they feel valued, supported, appreciated and treated like professionals.

Grateful to have worked under his leadership! #teachindavis

We cannot teach skills (essential to all behavior intervention plans) without the foundational ziggurat. Yet, we attempt to do so with much stress and anxiety. #BeTheZiggurat

Thank You Resilient Utah! I’m both honored and humbled for this recognition. Snow Horse Elementary is… Education Elevated. The faculty and staff exemplify true perseverance and commitment amid challenges. #resilientutah @ReidNewey @ZurbuchenJohn @DavisSchools @teachindavis

@tkee06 @PrincipalKafele Jealous!!! I love him too!

@DaveThal1 @rwkinghorn @TraciRobbins @teachindavis The function of a behavior is critical. This is a bridge for proactive prevention and improved communication. Functions of behavior usually almost always express a need relating to…Escape, Attention, Tangible gains, and Sensory needs. Identify it- bridge the divide.

Behavior is communication, but sometimes we try to make rational sense out of irrational behavior. How do we bridge the divide? @rwkinghorn @TraciRobbins @teachindavis

@carlosbaggage28 Amen!!! And my skin seems to be growing slow!

School Board President J. Robison- “This is not only something we HAVE to… but something we GET to do.” Change agent. The lens of leadership! #teachindavis #eduleadership #appleteacher #leadership

Leaders start "with a mindset that they're going to change the world through their schools. Then life—with its day-to-day challenges—happens." Reflections on reconnecting with your purpose & continuing to change the world, via @PrincipalKafele. ascd.org/publications/e…

Expecting everyone to be available at all times is a recipe for burnout. Unless there's a crisis, being a good colleague isn't about responding rapidly. It's about clarity and reliability. Clarity is communicating your priorities. Reliability is delivering on your commitments.

🥰So proud and excited for our teachers to give this survey to their students purely as reflection for themselves.Our teachers are here for kids and we want kids to know that. #relationshipsmattermost @Wes_Kieschnick #breakingbold @ChandlerUnified @CUSDCounseling
