Each student walking down the hall deserves eye contact and a positive greeting.
This is an easy way to show we care as well as model 'adulting' for our #students.

Started reading this book today. Compelling and beautifully grounded in people’s’ stories. “From the comfort of our own homes it’s hard to understand the complexities of something like poverty and homelessness.”@imTerenceLester leads us out of the comfort of our own homes.
A colleague, science educator, was talking to me about bio mimicry & education:
“Structure fits function throughout nature, and when it doesn't, nature evolves, sometimes faster than previously thought. Education has needed an asteroid for a while 😉. “ #schooldifferently
We must seek to DEEPLY engage our Ss. If they aren’t engaged,
If their curiosity is not peaked,
& they R just going through the motions,
Learning isn’t happening.
They are just “checking the box”.
Filling the requirement.
Going through the motions.
Where is the Life in that?

Yesssssssssssss!
According to @Gallup, 31% of teachers are engaged in their work. It is lower than high school seniors & rest of workforce. 85% of “engaged” teachers have a leader who makes them ENTHUSIASTIC. Can we please TEND to the SOULS of teachers? ASAP & Intentionally? #leadupchat #edchat
