The language you use shapes your perceptions & behaviors. Try to replace limiting language—which stifles student growth—with language of possibility, like in these examples from The Language of Possibility! 🔗bit.ly/3LpXIHV #StudentSuccess #SchoolCulture #K12

Y’all! I’ve been lucky enough to read with some kiddos the past couple of weeks, and when they’re done reading to me, I ask them, “Is this the first book you’ve ever read on your own?!” They confirm that it is, and we CELEBRATE! 🎉 This is what it is all about! Reading can be fun! Reading can be exciting! Reading WILL open doors for kids. Sometimes, we have to guide them to the door, and sometimes they are turning the knob and opening the door on their own. Other times, our students are three steps out the door and onto their next reading adventure. Sometimes, our kids will shut the door, or maybe slam it, and we will have to reopen the door for them. The key is that the door remains accessible to kids. We have the key. ❤️ #readandlead #1LISD @LWBushElem

I love diving into essential outcomes each 9 weeks! It is so neat to see the alignment in our TEKS. I can’t believe we are in the 4th 9 weeks! #1LISD #instructionalcoach
