Parents - there’s a National TikTok challenge in which students are instructed to trash the restroom at school. Please have a conversation with your child about respecting their school. It’s not only frustrating to talk with students about vandalism but disheartening.

Now, more than ever, we need to get away from the mindset of how we’ve always done it. Grading, homework, and school will NOT and should NOT be the same as a teacher physically in a classroom seeing his/her students. Resist the urge! Fight for what’s equitable & the #wholechild

Heard a teacher invoking the “2 for 10” with a student - spending two minutes with her every day for 10 days in a row. She just needed to ask how the student was doing. The student talked nonstop after that. That’s relationship building.

Most of us are looking forward to spending time with family and being off school for Thanksgiving. But, not all students will share the same sentiment. School is a safe place for them. Pray for them and be sensitive to them this week.

As you plan your lessons for next week, please don’t give homework or a project over Winter Break. Students need to time with their families and friends. It’s important for students to have time to “unplug” from school; and for you as well...

The secret to success? Asking for help! Every great leader has a mentor - someone who provides advice, counsel, encouragement, and hope. Most of all, great leaders have someone who tells them things they don’t always want to hear! Who’s coaching you?

Students may say they aren't a morning person or want to talk at great lengths, but they DO want an adult to acknowledge them. Don't give up on greeting students with a smile and talking with them each morning. They may not show it, but they do appreciate it.

Students need more than someone who asks them how their day is. They need someone who really wants to know them, engages with them to motivate and uplift, and can advocate for and challenge them! Students can tell the difference in someone checking the box and caring for them!

Amazed by the relationship that is strengthened when a teacher tells a student who was absent the previous day that he missed her and is glad she’s back (and he means it). Noticing your students, no matter big or small, matters! Let them know you care!

Setting up routines to check in with each student every day matters. Once, during a check in, a student told me that her grandpa passed away the day before. She wanted to talk with me knowing I’d ask how she was doing. It matters to have time built to check in with students!
