LEADERS!!! What are you SAYING to make sure that everyone KNOWS they can take a break? People won’t want to come back if they feel like they never left. WORDS MATTER. We’re all in this thing together. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #ImpactTheNarrative #HackingLeadership – at Wisconsin, USA

LEADERS!!! Do you know YOUR 3? More importantly, do you know the 3 of THOSE YOU LEAD? Everybody’s A to B is different. If we want to help people move, we have to value where they start. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #ImpactTheNarrative #HackingLeadership – at Wisconsin, USA

There's lots of stuff happening in this snippet from #kidsthesedays. This quote arrives in the middle of the book and it’s all about the power you hold with the people you love, lead, and #teach. When you have their hearts, they will skate through walls for you. Don’t forget it.
School culture is not just something that happens. It’s something you build daily with what you value and with how you spend your time.

School culture is not about the big things; it’s about the little things. It’s about the thoughtful gestures... and the high fives... and the silly jokes between staff members... and the conversations with kids in the hallways... and all the smiles. Don’t ever forget the smiles!

Culture is built in 30 second increments. Every time you connect with someone in your school and community you are building or killing culture. We choose how we want to be remembered. #HackLearning

If you’re an educator, there are moments of awesomeness all around you. It’s important to recognize those moments... and to celebrate them. This is for ALL staff members... because everyone contributes to building a strong school culture!

The best teachers have 3 things in common: They are all about the kids. They are relentless about getting better. They are always positive.

Kids don’t usually remember lessons for a long time. But they remember kindness… and humor… and joy.
