One of the best things a teacher can do in the course of the day is to have a conversation with a student about something other than school.

Administrators build relationships with their teachers, the same way teachers do with their students. They talk to them; they invest time in them; they respect them; they value them; they support them. It doesn’t have to be complicated… but it needs to be a priority.

You’re gonna make mistakes this year. That’s ok… you’ll learn from them. They’ll make you better. Don’t be afraid of mistakes; embrace the process.

Reflecting on your year can be a good thing if it inspires joy and gratitude. If you had a hard year… let it go. You’re moving on down the road.

When a student fails a quiz, or a test, or a project… what would compel that student to get it turned around for the next one?
I’ll tell you one thing: the relentless encouragement and support of a teacher. Props to the teachers who never give up on their students!

People may hear your words, and they may read your words. But that doesn’t mean they know your heart. What really matters, is what you do and how you treat others. It’s the example you set. The life you lead is always more powerful than the speech you give.

We talk about the importance of teachers developing relationships with students. But it’s also important for administrators to develop relationships with their teachers. That is how they support them… how they encourage them… how they lead them. It is how culture is built.

Shaquille O’Neil once said: “You can’t fake the funk on a nasty dunk!” This speaks to the power of authenticity. When you love what you do & bring a genuine energy to your work, everyone knows it. You ARE the real deal! When you’re going through the motions, they know that too.
