I just read a book that said to make a “ta - da” list instead of a “to - do” list that celebrates every little thing that was done that day.
I love that shift of perspective.

Spend each day having positive interactions with students (and staff) and you’ll never go wrong. Those positive interactions are what influence a school’s culture. And they brighten your day! A real win-win!

These are problematic. Why?
Imply precision. Not reliable. Not evidence based. No real significant differences between levels. Focuses on materials/program not student strengths & needs.

A4: Express gratitude twice as frequently as you express disappointment. It ensures you spend more time building than destroying. Our kids, parents, and colleagues need advocates. Nobody actively working with kids wants to be bad for them. Assume best intention. 👍 #BoldSchool
