An old favorite #bfc530

Great teachers have high expectations for their students, but higher expectations for themselves.

#FabulousFriday -Kindness is an enduring, authentic force that transforms lives, creating lasting impacts. By showing genuine love, empathy, and compassion, you embrace the strength of your character, allowing you to build bridges and make the world a better, more connected place. #NotesToAYoungerMe #JoyTrain #StarfishClub @btharp22 @lilybearjoy @BethFratesMD @LRobbTeacher @melanie_korach @BiscottiNicole @Jim_dEntremont @CoachGoodman @KariJoys @JK45PE @gdorn1 @donna_mccance @KippPomra @DesireToInspir7 @bbray27 @MPHickie @iamashukhanna @drwilliams7777 @NicoletteEus @Bob_Lazzari @AnitaBGreen @coachadam34 @SmrtAleks

And it's those who start with why, that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them.

#ThursdayThoughts - Doing what is right, regardless of who is around is what we all should strive for. That internal alignment—where your actions match your values—is exactly what makes it possible to look in the mirror with confidence and liking what you see. #NotesToAYoungerMe #JoyTrain #StarfishClub @btharp22 @lilybearjoy @BethFratesMD @LRobbTeacher @melanie_korach @BiscottiNicole @Jim_dEntremont @CoachGoodman @KariJoys @JK45PE @gdorn1 @donna_mccance @KippPomra @DesireToInspir7 @bbray27 @MPHickie @iamashukhanna @drwilliams7777 @NicoletteEus @Bob_Lazzari @AnitaBGreen @coachadam34 @SmrtAleks

The most effective leaders have the confidence to seek input in advance and feedback after the fact.

#ThursdayThoughts- Inspire yourself to be better today than you were yesterday! Focus on incremental improvements in your own journey, rather than comparing yourself to others. #NotesToAYoungerMe #JoyTrain #StarfishClub @btharp22 @lilybearjoy @BethFratesMD @LRobbTeacher @melanie_korach @BiscottiNicole @Jim_dEntremont @CoachGoodman @KariJoys @JK45PE @gdorn1 @donna_mccance @KippPomra @DesireToInspir7 @bbray27 @MPHickie @iamashukhanna @drwilliams7777 @NicoletteEus @Bob_Lazzari @AnitaBGreen @coachadam34 @SmrtAleks

#MondayMindset - The energy that you bring into the space you enter matters. Our presence is not just physical—it's emotional and influential. #NotesToAYoungerMe #JoyTrain #StarfishClub @btharp22 @lilybearjoy @BethFratesMD @melanie_korach @BiscottiNicole @Jim_dEntremont @CoachGoodman @KariJoys @JK45PE @gdorn1 @donna_mccance @KippPomra @DesireToInspir7 @bbray27 @MPHickie @iamashukhanna @drwilliams7777 @NicoletteEus @Bob_Lazzari @AnitaBGreen @coachadam34 @SmrtAleks @ShiftParadigm @mindfulheal @RossSwan2 @AEMentalhealth

To inspire starts with the clarity of WHY.

A Teacher's Purpose To give our very best so that kids can grow up to become their very best. It's one of the hardest jobs there is. It's also one of the most rewarding.

Overheard one of my Ss in convo with another call me a “total unit” this week. As far as I know, that term emphasizes someone who is perceived as a whole, solid, or physically impressive entity. Now they had my attention, because I have been dieting, and that didn’t sound right. So I eavesdropped. My student explained that when he needed a different way to study the 200 slide presentation for his state government exam, he asked Mrs. Steinbrink for help. “She took the Government study guide presentation and made 3 30 MCQ @waygroundai quizzes for me that I could practice, and that really helped me prepare!” His friend asked how long it took me to do that. My student continued, “That’s the thing. She made all 3 during her prep 7th hour so I could study last night for our test today! She said Wayground has really good AI or something.” His friend replied, “She really is a unit.” 💜If you aren’t using the Wayground feature that allows you to create a quiz of up to 30 questions from 1-99 slides/pages at a time, you should! It’s a GameChanger! (See what I did there? 🤣) Tis the Season (of testing, that is)! You can be a “unit” too. 🎉🙌

Teachers are those who help find strengths, wipe away tears, overpower demons and conquer fears.

And it's those who start with why, that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them.

We take the view that truly connected educators connect in a wide variety of ways, never losing sight of the fact that no amount of online connectivity can replace connecting face to face.

#ThursdayThought - Since life is finite, we should focus on the present and live with intention, rather than procrastinating or dwelling on the past. Elevate your present moment! #NotesToAYoungerMe #JoyTrain #StarfishClub @btharp22 @lilybearjoy @BethFratesMD @melanie_korach @BiscottiNicole @Jim_dEntremont @CoachGoodman @KariJoys @JK45PE @gdorn1 @donna_mccance @KippPomra @DesireToInspir7 @bbray27 @MPHickie @iamashukhanna @drwilliams7777 @NicoletteEus @Bob_Lazzari @AnitaBGreen @coachadam34 @SmrtAleks @ShiftParadigm @mindfulheal @RossSwan2 @AEMentalhealth

Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.
