When a kid comes home from school confident and comfortable - it says a ton about the culture of the school and the classrooms. Spot on @SteeleThoughts

If students could pick their teachers, would they sign up for your class?
I know it’s not a popularity contest… but the attitude of the teacher always affects the students’ attitude toward the class.
And their attitude toward the class always affects the level of learning.

Fact:
"Reading diagnostic tests should be administered by the person who will be designing and implementing the intervention.
A diagnostic assessment yields SO much more than a score, and if someone else is administering the assessment, the interventionist will be operating with incomplete information."
Dr. Holly Lane
As an interventionist, I can confirm this is true.

I think the enthusiasm of the teacher has a bigger impact on student engagement than the lesson itself.
Passion can transform any classroom.

We need for doctors to know their stuff, but it’s also really nice when they have a good “bedside manner.”
The same is true in the classroom.
Teachers need expertise… but it’s also great when they have a way with kids. I guarantee you it makes a difference to the students.

My son remained on principal's honor roll for the entire year, last year. He was never recognized. He has autism. School has never been easy for him. He struggled through additional therapies that most kids didn't have to have. We honored his hard work with a trip to Universal in June. – at Bartlett, TN

Schools need to do a better job of recognizing kids that aren’t on the honor roll. There are so many things that matter other than grades.

When a student fails a quiz, or a test, or a project… what would compel that student to get it turned around for the next one?
I’ll tell you one thing: the relentless encouragement and support of a teacher.
Props to the teachers who never give up on their students.

You can’t control the quality of their weekend. But you can be the reason your students have a great Monday.
