📉 Poor grades don’t motivate struggling students — they just make them hate school even more. 💔🎓 So what does motivate them? 💡 Patience 🔁 Reteaching 🤝 Caring Adults 🔄 Second Chances ❤️ Strong Relationships
Teachers, If you haven't already, you will soon receive your class roster. Know this about your roster: The kids chosen to be in your class is no accident. You are in their life for a reason and a divine purpose. You are the difference! YOU! #edchat
The Best Teachers are Great because of Choices they make. Not Talent. Choices such as: 🍎 Showing Patience when students don't learn 🍎 Being Love when kids are hurting 🍎 Listening 🍎 Being Positive 🍎 Choosing to make Every student feel like the favorite!
We cannot assume our students know we care about them. We have to tell them we care. We have to notice when they are gone. We have to make a big deal about them when they walk through the door. Every child is wondering, does my teacher care & think I am special.
A lot of things are important. Few things are urgent. Nothing is worth freaking out about. #edchat
Thankful for a 3rd place finish in the TSSAA state wrestling championship. A huge thank you to my coaches, teammates, and family for their endless support and belief in me. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without all the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices.
Don't expect great work from those you fail to encourage and compliment.
Nothing reveals the greatness of a teacher more than how they respond when students struggle.
There are so many reasons why the low performing kids in our class, CAN'T. Be the teacher who knows they CAN and refuse to quit on them until they DO! You are all they have. They can and they will!! 🙌
Please do not count down the days until Winter Break in front of your students. Not every child has your warm home, a loving family, planned get togethers, and awaiting presents. #edchat #education

"Teachers don't get paid enough. They should though, because they are the ones that make students successful." -My 11 year old #edchat #education
Students guessing is not students engaging in critical thinking. It's just guessing.
The culture and climate of a school is always a reflection of the personality of the principal. For good or for bad. #edchat #education
Some of the most successful teachers are teachers you have never heard of. And they want to keep it that way! #edchat #education

“The No. 1 reason teachers leave the profession is the pay. The No. 1 reason parents don’t want their children to become teachers is the pay. So, the No. 1 solution...must be increasing teacher salaries.” —John Arthur, 6th grade teacher and @myUEA member edweek.org/teaching-learn…
One of the most toxic behaviors in schools is when teachers view the other teachers in the building as "competition". Just love, care, and serve your co-workers! We are in this together! #edchat #education
