Twice in 1 month? Heck yeah! 💪🏻 My students were caught showing C.L.A.S.S
They’re natural celebrities 💜

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.

Here’s to all those educators out there who “bring the soul” to their classroom, building, district, and/or community. 🙌🎉🙌🎉

🎓 We are wasting the resource of our special education teachers if we limit them mostly to helping students complete work. Their skills can reach so much farther when they are in the role of co-designing instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Following his double the AB before, Fisher Schmidt (Waller HS-2025) makes a good 2-strike adjustment to poke a base hit through the left side.

I adore these educators that stood out in the sun and heat on the last day of school waiting to say, “ We love you,” one more time.

When this child walked up so proud in his dress clothes, it took my breath away. I admit, I cried. He’s tried my patience all year, but in that moment I realized how much I love him. Behavior is communication, and as educators, we need to help them communicate in a better way.

Awards day ready at Jones Elementary! Every day is a new opportunity and a clean slate. He’s our daily reminder of why there’s no place like Jones! @brigittevail #jeschat

Balance rarely comes from increasing efficiency. It usually involves reducing responsibilities.
The more priorities we have, the harder they are to juggle. It's better to do a few things well than be overwhelmed by many.
A key to avoiding burnout is deciding what doesn't matter.

I’ve been screaming this from the mountains top!
This blog nicely articulates how the patchwork approach that constitutes just adding phonics not only will not meet the needs of most stdts. It will confuse a good number of them.
