If students could pick their teachers, would they sign up for your class? I know it’s not a popularity contest… but the attitude of the teacher always affects the students’ attitude toward the class. And their attitude toward the class always affects the level of learning.

The kids in our schools have remarkable talents that are often untapped by traditional curriculum and traditional pedagogy. Thanks to all the teachers who work outside of the box in order to creat opportunities for ALL their students to thrive.

I think teachers are at their best when they are transparent with their passion. Love of content, love of learning, and love of kids… is what the students find so compelling.

Sometimes teaching can be a grind. It’s not all cute bulletin boards, inspirational lessons, and light bulb moments. But teachers keep going. And I love them for it.

Every heated situation in a school can be diffused or escalated by the adults in the building. Our words, our attitude, our demeanor… they all matter.

Some of our best professional learning takes place when we solicit feedback from the kids in our class… and genuinely listen to it. When we consider the point of view of our students, we significantly increase our potential for making their learning experiences meaningful.

There’s a difference between ‘complaining’ and identifying challenges. The best teammates are always looking for solutions.

I am mentoring a principal who just told me that his students have been a lot more productive this year. I asked him why. He said: “We have a lot of new teachers and they’re really engaging with the students.” Teachers matter so much!

I think the enthusiasm of the teacher has a bigger impact on student engagement than the lesson itself. Passion can transform any classroom.

Kids appreciate teachers who don’t take themselves too seriously. A little vulnerability from the teacher goes a long way in building class climate.

Be the reason new teachers SHOULD hang out in the teachers lounge. Connections are important, and it's hard to interact with teachers in other departments or other grade levels unless you make it a priority.
