When a team/organization focuses on solutions instead of complaints their performance rises to a higher level.

If you give a toddler a Ferrari, they will still drive it into a wall. Technology needs to be about the teaching and not the tool. #dlpcoaching @TooLegitTeach @MsMagiera @iste #ISTE18

Sometimes you have to get creative to reach children in food insecure areas. Our mobile summer feeding program is serving almost 500 free meals each day to children 18 and younger in our community – at Taylors, SC

A lot of teams give up along the way. They get discouraged, they get down, negativity sets in... The great teams stay positive through the challenges, through the adversity and they do not let the situation define them.

Love this quote! Part of having a growth mindset means recognizing you aren't the smartest person in the room and there is always more to learn!

Giving teachers a choice in their learning is just as important as giving students a choice in their learning! #tepsar1 #tepsa

A wise woman once said,”Discipline is about teaching, not punishment.” Her words caused me to really reflect on the importance of providing learning opportunities when students misbehave vs assigning punishments that often have no impact on truly changing behavior. #JoyfulLeaders xitter.gq/bethhill2829/status/95…

Don’t let the words of another affect your happiness. No one has that power unless you give it to them. Gandhi said, “I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.”

Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Greenville County Schools. Use this day off of school to: 1. Do something good for another person. 2. Commit yourself to doing what is right in every situation.

The goal of each day should not be to get through it. The goal of each semester should not be to make it until the break. If we inspired, engaged, and motivated students, it was a good day. If students picked up skills, enjoyed learning, & grew, it was a good semester.

Most don’t quit because it’s hard. They really quit because they don’t love it enough.

What separates the great teachers from everyone else, is not what they teach, it is how they teach. sumo.ly/IQVi
