For teachers about to start a new school year…

One of the best things a teacher can do in the course of the day is to have a conversation with a student about something other than school.

The more deeply you know your Ss, the more astonishing the growth you can inspire, says educator @steelethoughts.bsky.social 🌱

Teachers have the ability to give students something that is far more valuable than good grades on a report card. They can give them hope.

Administrators build relationships with their teachers, the same way teachers do with their students. They talk to them; they invest time in them; they respect them; they value them; they support them. It doesn’t have to be complicated… but it needs to be a priority.

You’re gonna make mistakes this year. That’s ok… you’ll learn from them. They’ll make you better. Don’t be afraid of mistakes; embrace the process.

Reflecting on your year can be a good thing if it inspires joy and gratitude. If you had a hard year… let it go. You’re moving on down the road.

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!

People may hear your words, and they may read your words. But that doesn’t mean they know your heart. What really matters, is what you do and how you treat others. It’s the example you set. The life you lead is always more powerful than the speech you give.

I think students can tell when their teachers enjoy teaching them. At least they think they can. And their perception matters.

In the words of Ted Lasso… “Be curious… not judgmental.”

Danny Steele @steelethoughts.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

We talk about the importance of teachers developing relationships with students. But it’s also important for administrators to develop relationships with their teachers. That is how they support them… how they encourage them… how they lead them. It is how culture is built.

When people are excited about what they do, when they are mindful of why they do it, and when they genuinely care about those they are with… cool stuff happens.

Shaquille O’Neil once said: “You can’t fake the funk on a nasty dunk!” This speaks to the power of authenticity. When you love what you do & bring a genuine energy to your work, everyone knows it. You ARE the real deal! When you’re going through the motions, they know that too.

If you notice a successful principal, you should assume there is a faculty of rock stars making the magic happen in the school.

Every kid we teach loves something. They are interested in something. They are nervous about something. They are good at something. I wonder what that something is.

Good teaching is not accidental. It results from teachers who plan well and who connect with their students. Both of these are intentional. Good teaching takes energy, passion, and perseverance. I’m grateful for all the teachers who are putting in the work.

At one of our schools, all our staff members wrote their hopes for our students on this board. This was right outside the main office. It reminded all of us of our WHY. And it communicated to students and parents what we truly care about.
