Counselors do so much for students and staff in the building. They are patient, kind, poised, and compassionate. They shoulder more grief, pain, and dysfunction than most of us can imagine, and they are invaluable to our schools. They deserve our recognition and respect.

The foundation of every healthy school culture is and always will be based on the quality of the relationships between students and staff and staff and staff. #Culturize

All across the country, schools are using the TFI to check in on their initial PBIS efforts, create action plans for improvement, & monitor their progress over time. If your team is new to this or could use a refresher, our TFI video series can help: bit.ly/3nUtxNy
Pay close attention. #Culturize

If you want your team to serve, serve them. If you want your people to care, care about them. If you want your team to love their work, love them. If you want your employees to be their best, give them your best.

If you want an assessment of your school culture, simply look at how people behave. If we say we believe in treating students & staff w/respect, kindness, dignity, grace & w/compassion, then let's remind each other when we don't so we can be who we say we want to be. #Culturize

Regulation is a privilege ya'll. If that doesn't compute (yet), (re)listen to the interview, read the book, and join NWPBIS events this year to be part of the right work! brenebrown.com/podcast/brene… @BDPerry @Oprah @BreneBrown

Poor grades do not motivate struggling students. Poor grades just makes students hate school even more. What is motivating? Patience, Reteaching, Adults that Care, Second chances, Relationships. #edchat #education – at Maryville, TN
