The ultimate purpose of education is to change an empty mind into an open one. If you wanna be a good teacher, teach open-mindedness, teach enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, heuristics, and values.

If I had a magic wand then no one would tell students that paragraphs have a set number of sentences. #writing #Composition #ela #teaching #english

Why do leaders send quotes about leadership? If it’s meant to inspire, I’m not sure it’s worth the time. It would be a better use of your time to get out of your office and say, “Hello,” to ppl imo. #inspiration #leadership #inspire #leading #teachers #principal #compassion

I don't understand why the NYS T shortage is such a puzzle to administrators? 1. T's feel like they have no agency. 2. T's feel under paid. 3. Their pensions have been under attack. If that happened to admin...would they stay? #leadership #K12 #Principal #schools #teacher

100% agree, but I am reminded of a recent conversation with @AngelaStockman about the need to qualify "failure" a little. Some failure is awful...and I wouldn't want that for anyone. But, our outlook on failure has a major impact on how we move through life. #Toasted #podcast

Authenticity is not about expressing every opinion you hold. It's about ensuring that what you voice reflects what you value. If you prize respect and kindness, your comments shouldn't be filled with contempt and cruelty. Ideas are worth sharing when they represent your ideals.

I love to encourage my students to explore #GenerativeAI in my classroom; but, getting outside,"reading," and #journaling about the design elements of a building with a pen and paper on a fall day...it just doesn't get any better. #composition #FLCC #humanities #writers

And when teachers are told to “fit SEL into their schedule” as if it’s unimportant, the work is made even more difficult. SEL isn’t a time in the master schedule. It is the schedule. I am sad to see how this has played out in too many schools.
I’m continuously angered by trade books that conceptualize happiness as an “inside job.” Kids, especially, need supportive environments. I’m sickened by the recent news of the bullied middle school boy who was beaten to death. It’s hard to be happy when the people and systems around us are mean and cruel. It’s time for a universal education in #EmotionalIntelligence.

When we say that “WE’RE JUST” or say that “WE’RE ONLY” we devalue the work that we do…but we also give the person we’re talking to license to do exactly the same. #LeadFromWhereYouAre
