Improve Tier 1 Mental Health Support! Student-to-counselor ratios right now are 400:1 or worse. This has been normalized & is unacceptable. The resources are there & I’m calling on states to invest in reducing these ratios because counselors & students deserve better.

There is a difference between losing and failing. Losing reflects the score. Failing reflects our attitude.

Last week, US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona hosted a sharing session with Native American families and their experiences in the education system at the Clara Luper Center! We thank Secretary Cardona for visiting our district and visiting with #OKCPS leaders and families.

Classroom management means I manage the only person I control. When things get crazy, do I remain calm? Am I respectful to disrespectful people? When someone pushes my buttons, do I react or respond? #thatonekid #edchat #teachers

Today I filed HB 1037, which is a step to help solve our MASSIVE school psychologist shortage. The graphic ⬇️ was featured in my bipartisan School Security study…we need to do all we can to keep these experts in #oklaed!

The debate between April Grace and Ryan Walters just started. Walters says #1 issue in education in OK is indoctrination by liberals and CRT. Grace says teacher shortage and education outcomes. OBVIOUSLY, VOTE APRIL GRACE!!!

If you are a leader looking to develop other leaders, it’s not enough to just know the way. You also have to go the way and show the way. The leaders you are developing will do what they experience, learn, and see. MaxwellPodcast.com/Developin…
