@EmilyAPaschall That is a central component to the @IHeartCKH classroom social contract. It was something I just talked about last Friday. The classroom is all about relationships and authenticity.

While visiting classrooms this week, I listened in on a conversation students were having regarding an assignment which included the following discussion question: “How do I want to be treated by my teacher?” In a small group, a student shared that he wants to be a part of the conversation if he’s being discussed as a problem in the classroom. He explained that he struggled with behaviors in elementary and remembers overhearing teachers talk negatively about him in the teachers’ lounge. “I wanted to be good. I wanted to do better. I just needed someone to care and teach me how.” Wow. 1. Kudos to the high school teacher for seeing the value in these conversations at the beginning of the year. 2. Kids are capable of so much more than we give them credit for. Sometimes all it takes is including them in the conversation so we can work toward the solution… TOGETHER. How will you be remembered by THAT KID? What we say and how we respond matters. It starts with giving them a voice.

Teaching comes down to relationships. “A teacher that is great with relationships but bad with curriculum will last longer in this profession than one who is opposite” - Dr. Pysyk @gcouros @beckyg314 @APCapstonePLP

Was reading the @HappyStrobel chapter in @gcouros book Because of a Teacher Vol. II and I immediately thought of @TedLasso. We never know what’s going on behind the scenes with our students until we are curious. @APCapstonePLP

I am stoked about all of the schools who are doing a book study on my book this fall! I wrote #MultiplyExcellence in a way that reaches every educator, no matter the role. It is filled with real stories which will touch your heart, as well as the recipe to shift your school’s culture. I also have a free study guide to go with it with guiding questions for staff members to discuss throughout the reading! Private message me for a discounted rate on bulk orders. I’d love to work with you!

Student voices are the most important voices in education. To improve education, we need to listen to them.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Why do teachers in every subject area need to spend more time on dedicated writing instruction & carve out class time for students to actually write? 😔 Because only 25% of students (1 in 4) are proficient in writing! Learn more: bit.ly/3N8GwaK #EdChat

My media students are evaluating videos and seeing what they can use in their own. This student loves @GuyFieri and he was so excited I picked his best breakfast videos for this assignment. It made me hungry for sure #knowyourstudents
