Spring break read dilemmas which one to start first?

The difference maker? Your attitude and effort. Things are going to get hard. The question is… What are you going to do about it? #multiplyexcellence

If you want to bust a culture, stop making excuses. -“He’s SPED.” ❌ -“She has a language barrier.” ❌ -“Not enough time.” ❌ -“She has it tough at home.” ❌ -“Parents don’t care.” ❌ -“Bad behavior.” ❌ When there’s a will, there’s a way. #multiplyexcellence

There really isn’t an excuse for not doing what’s best for kids. A school with a positive culture faces the problem and then asks, “Now what?” 🔸A student is chronically absent? Now what? 🔹A student isn’t achieving? Now what? 🔸A student is dysregulated? Now what? 🔹A student seeks negative attention? Now what? Culture is continuing the conversation rather than letting the excuse be the reason to end it. #multiplyexcellence

Tell me it’s Friday without telling me it’s Friday…😊❤️ @grantjrbulldogs

This is my why. Given to me by a 5th grader this morning as she came into school. #BHWarriorPride

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes, the admin influences it, but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.

Based on the meta-analysis of John Hattie. We need to be doing these 8 things in order to affect the deepest, most lasting #learning. sbee.link/t87kcavdg4 via @MrRondot #educators #teachersoftwitter

Honored to have a visit from State Representative Laura Faver Dias yesterday. We talked about issues educators and students are facing. As a former teacher, she was receptive, empathetic, and committed to using our input for change! #BHWarriorPride #advocacyinaction @ilprincipals

#Teachers with few behavior issues have the following in common: 1. Rarely gets offended. 2. Starts every day with a clean slate. 3. Talks w kids before/after class. 4. Considers de-esclation a win. 5. Doesn’t need the last word. Add yours 👇 #ThatOneKid #edchat

@cwienke01 Haha I just unpacked last week!

@mrjoshcornwell Wait… do you still have moving boxes in your office?! 🤦🏽‍♀️…. And the walls… come On- I promise decorations don’t bite!

Walked into my office today to be greeted by this. Grateful for my thoughtful APs!

Our @bhmscctf track team won their meet against @D114Stanton, and Mr. Sefcik, the good sport that he is, is wearing a Big Hollow PE uniform today. Thanks for the friendly cross-town rivalry. You look good in blue! #BHWarriorPride

Ok, @D114Stanton, here's the proof. @mrjoshcornwell dressed like a Fox today. There were many confused looks from staff and students. But revenge is coming...the Warriors will see you on the track! And Macho Man Sefcik better start training! #bhwarriorpride #district114proud

Hey @D114Stanton School…who’s this? Is this a new 8th grader? #fearthefox #District114Proud #WrestlerOfTheWeek @BigHollowMS

@D114Stanton @BigHollowMS @bobgold_supt I gave my wrestlers a pep talk yesterday and told them the stakes, so they're ready! #BHWarriorPride

5 days until the Match of the Century! @D114Stanton Foxes vs @BigHollowMS Warriors!! Be there!! 🦊💪 @bobgold_supt @mrjoshcornwell #District114Proud #fearthefox #foxlaketough

The phrase “behavior problem” drives me crazy. There is no such thing as a behavior problem child in school. Behaviors are not the problem they are always solutions kids pick to their problems. Focus on the underlying cause for real results. #thatonekid

If the goal is to get the correct answer... we can stop teaching math. The Internet has solved that problem. If we want to teach students NUMBER SENSE then it is important that they are able to solve problems in more than one way! #mathchat
