The work is hard.
The work is stressful.
The work is emotional.
The work is exhausting.
But our kids are worth it.

Our true character is revealed by how we treat students who are the most difficult. It's easy to be kind and generous with people who are kind and generous. But we need to show empathy and understanding to every kid.

Have you checked our library of Read Aloud Project lessons to see which texts you are already planning to use? Our free lessons were developed by teachers and have been adapted to meet the expectations of CCR standards! bit.ly/2H9pmXv #reading #elachat

My 13 year old daughter has talked for several years about how much she loved her 5th grade teacher. I asked her what she liked about her. Her response: “She liked US!” So simple… yet so profound. Kids gravitate to the teachers that like them. They can tell.

We are devastated to learn details of the tragic school shooting that took 10 innocent lives in Texas. As we struggle to come to terms with this violent act, we condemn any comments that would endorse violence or otherwise exploit this national tragedy for rhetorical purposes.

Pedagogy trumps technology. Embrace innovation. But don’t be confused about what really drives success.

Thought for the day: Let’s stop putting the responsibility for our morale solely on the shoulders of building admin. We are all responsible for our own morale. Don’t allow others to have power over you...via #Culturize
