It’s the ADULT relationships in the building that make the biggest impact!!! #raschools
Key Conclusions of our Research
-Education is only as good as the educators in front of the students
-It takes the WHOLE teacher to teach the WHOLE child
-The path to sustainable transformation is through the adult relationships in the building #7Mindsets bit.ly/2wuUKhO
Love it when you run into a coworker while finding yourself beach! #findyourbeach @DrJeffBearden @CatherineKeyser
This is my favorite!!!!!
Every day someone in your school is at a crossroads in their life. It may be a student or it may be colleague. What you do and the words you use could change the trajectory of their lives forever. Be present, be ready, and be powerful in those moments #7Mindsets, #SEL

Rachel - I have a sign in the back of my office that says "listen to understand and not to respond" to remind me to be present. YES!!!
#Forsythpln
A3 Listening to really listen and not just listening to respond! So important for relationship building! Teachers all need a sounding board with good ears! #forsythpln
Q4: "The vast majority of us avoid conflict. We must find ways to make healthy discourse part of our culture. We must learn to disagree agreeably".
Discuss a time when a conflict was a moment that mattered! #forsythpln
I love this idea of parallel play!!! #Forsythpln
A3 without trust we are just in “parallel play” without connecting. With trust and leaning in, we are free to explore new avenues. Trust is essential to growth. It is the difference of working next to someone or working with someone #forsythpln
Q3: "Our ability to create empowered teams is based on our ability to build relationships that foster trust, while creating a sense of significance and belonging among each team member."
How does this resonate with you? #forsythpln
YES!! YES!!! YES!!! #Forsythpln

Q2:"Moments Matter: When we look at courageous relationship we try to understand how they got there."
What is a word or action that changed everything for you and set your relationship on a new pathway to courage? #forsythpln
Q1:"While the relationships between educators and students are always important, we have come to recognize as the foundation for a ridiculously amazing school is the manner in which the adults in the building relate to each other."
