Most relationships initially break down because of poor communication. Where there is a void in communication, negativity will fill it. If you want to build great relationships and stronger teams, communicate… communicate… communicate!
Be kind. Say thank you. Hold the door open. Compliment as many people as you can. Point out the good and be the good. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Love, serve and care. The world needs more of this today (and every day)!
“Where would anyone of us be without teachers—without people who have passion for their art or their science or their craft and love it right in front of us? What would any of us do without teachers passing on to us what they know is essential about life?”
PARENTS: Little eyes are always watching. One of the best ways to raise up strong children is to provide a positive example. Don't just set the standard. Be the standard.
Stop focusing on changing the behavior. Instead focus on changing how you respond to the behavior. One I control. One I don’t. #1 rule learned in #recovery- “If I change me I change everything around me.” #bethechange #leader #thatonekid
Stay personally connected to kids without taking personally what they do & say. #thatonekid
One of my favorite quotes from the late great Rita Pierson. It is still relevant today. #BuildingRelationships #ShapingLeaders
Happy birthday to this guy! #jimis50 @JimWichman
I believe work life balance is a myth. Rather the key is to find rhythm and be engaged when you are at work and engaged when you are home. Invest in relationships where you are and you’ll feel more energized at work and home. You won’t have balance but you’ll be fulfilled.
5 questions to help kids improve decision making: - What exactly is the problem? - How do others feel? - What can I do to begin fixing it? - What can others do to help fix it? - Will my solution solve the problem? #edchat #kidsdeserveit #thatonekid #TLAP #culturize #leapeffect
We NEVER control what kids do & say but we ALWAYS control how we respond. Control it. Every. Single. Time. #edchat #thatonekid #watchyourmouth #tlap #KidsDeserveIt #culturize #teacher #teach #education #noteasy
5 non negotiables for success w ur most hard to reach kids. 1. We have to like them (or pretend). 2. Private is better than public. 3. Some is better than none. 4. Late is better than not at all. 5. 2nd to last word is best. #edchat #kidsdeserveit #thatonekid #tlap #culturize
5 Relationship building tips for tough kids: 1. Lead w your real life struggles. 2. Listen to their real life struggles. 3. Care more about kids than content. 4. Be there when things are bad. 5. Surround criticism w compliment. #edchat #kidsdeserveit #tlap #thatonekid
@TeachMsJames @AnkenyPRMS I agree completely!!! Well deserved honor for Miss Olivia!! Thank you for all you do!

Ms. Book and Ms. Balk's students presented their learning on fire safety yesterday! What amazing projects and presentations.
Our students and staff all have unique stories and backgrounds. Instead of reacting to a behavior, reflect on what life experience lead them there. #allmeansall #empathy

There are a lot of reasons why I am not using Facebook as much as I used to - this kind of business ethic is a big part of it. Seriously, this is a MUST READ for all parents (and all educators who teach kiddos #digcit) ow.ly/ThSv30ntocf
