It’s the women who champion other women for me. My heart is full. Thank you, @BethRimer @ottenk @AngelaFaulhaber and Dr. Jessica West. #OCTELA24

Our desire to do the right thing even when it’s the hard thing needs to be greater than our desire to look good to others.

⏳ If half the class requires tier 2 support, the school doesn't need more tier 2 #intervention strategies or programs. There's a need for more universal design. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Teachers who receive regular recognition & appreciation are: * More productive * More engaged in school * More likely to stay with school * More likely to receive higher satisfaction scores from students & parents * View school culture more positively Yes, Appreciation matters!

A good working environment for teachers creates a good learning environment for their students.

Understanding & influencing courageous behaviour is an important part of leading change. If we don't feel courage, we won't try new things. @BillTreasurer helpfully describes "three buckets of courage": 1) TRY courage is the courage of first attempts, being wiling to experiment & try new things. 2) TRUST courage is about letting go of formulas that worked in the past, our preconceptions about how things should be & our need to control. 3) TELL courage is where people feel safe to express themselves authentically & fully. It's our role as leaders to actively nurture the three courage buckets to create an environment where confidence & psychological safety prevail over fear.

@Meghan_Lawson Thanks for reading!

“If there was a component for commitment, our staff would be 5-star every day, every year. I have no doubt.”

We deserve to live really good lives while making the lasting impact we dream of making as educators. I believe this so deeply. With immense gratitude for teachers, I wrote a book about it. #legacyoflearning Legacy of Learning: Teaching for Lasting Impact a.co/d/d2nkNPu

Preparing kids for an imagined world.

Leaders should be one of the reasons their staff wants to stay.

No one can teach alone, reminds T @Sealwithsmiles. #SchoolCulture
