There will be times that you invest yourself into a student who desperately needs you... and you get burned. Don’t be too discouraged. It happens to everyone. And do not be deterred in your commitment to making a difference. We are planting seeds. We don’t always see the harvest.

Be careful of criticism. It’s far more effective to bring out the best in others by appreciation and encouragement.
The person who feels appreciated will do more and be more. Lift up others whenever you can.

Important reminder:
Data & data alone won't improve anything. It's the conversations & the steps taken as a result of the data that matter.

When students don't understand how their brains learn and retain material, they can develop misconceptions about themselves as learners @dfkris bit.ly/2GGaqTP #edchat #neuroscience #cogsci #learning #teaching
Great solutions to common barriers when incorporating stations, coaching, and conferencing! #edchat #kyadmin #edtech

Fun time with this crew and their new bikes! Several bumps, tears, and scrapes but it was all worth it. #growthmindset #resiliency

Thanks to Bill Adams, Associate Superintendent of Meade Co. Schools, and Meade Co. Judge Executive Gerry Lynn for meeting us this afternoon and for the tour of the awesome Meade Co. ATC facility. Great opportunities for your students. @MeadeCountyKY @MEADECOUNTYHIGH
bit.ly/2LMdtaY Interesting read. A lesson that teachers and admins should learn. Bezos must have read Brain Rules or attended an Antonetti PD. @madams411 #edchat #kyadmin

Grades are rarely successful at teaching students about responsibility, time management & organization (many adults still struggle).
Instead, an overemphasis on grades creates a culture of compliance.
In reality, grades should be about an evidenced demonstration of learning.

SB 151 costs $3.3 B more for state KRS plans and $1.7 B more for CERS than doing nothing. That's because it adds 6 more years to pay off the liabilities. So much for the anti-can kickers claiming the plans are about to run out of money #kyga18 kypolicy.org/last-minute-pen…
