For some kids, going #BackToSchool is THE WORST. This book is for them.😉
Written & illustrated by a teacher who loves non-educational books, The Worst series is a reader fave. (Our readers are SASSY)

1) Have pride. (Work hard at everything you do.)
2) Be Kind. (You never know when your words or actions can lift the spirit of another.)
3) Do the right thing. (Be a person of integrity.)
This is what I talked to our students about today. These are our expectations.

Most great teachers didn’t start out that way. But...
1) They reflected on what worked and what didn’t.
2) They learned from their colleagues.
3) They always kept their focus on the students.

Good leaders don’t have all the answers… and they’re not threatened by all the questions.

5 Ways to be More Positive:
1. Count your blessings. You can’t be stressed and thankful at the same time.
2. See your challenges as opportunities for growth.
3. Don’t listen to your negative thoughts.
4. Feed yourself with positive encouragement.
5. Choose faith instead of fear.

Our students notice our mood, notice our attitude, and notice our reactions to adversity. Educators are allowed to be human… but it’s important to be mindful of the example we set for all the eyes that are watching.
Joey Acker retweeted
Leaders don't need to be perfect, just authentic.
Leaders must consistently try to do what's right and always care for their people.
Take a selfless, humble stance. Strength of character is more valuable than strength of vocal chords. #JoyfulLeaders

This year has been busy. I have loved my first year in my new role, Joey and the kids had a great school year, Joey completed his Masters, I started my LPC, & I had the rest of the thyroid cancer removed last month so of course we had a lot to celebrate!! @DisneyParks @jlacker3

Celebrating good things at school helps kids reframe what can also be bad...there is usually another side to every difficult story. What would happen if you did the same thing at home every evening? What would happen if we focused on good things...every day? – at Texas, USA

Five of my favorite questions for inappropriate behavior:
1. Why do you think that is ok?
2. Where did u learn this (behavior)?
3. Who in your life believes that’s ok?
4. How can you help fix this?
5. What can we/you do differently?
