I somewhat disagree with the last statement that you will receive nothing in return...  Maybe In a few more years I'll experience it but for every year that I've been in education, I've received something... maybe not from that source but I believe in the principle of giving... "Give and it shall be given unto you" Not trying to preach lol but trust me, You will #ReapWhatYouSow #SowGreatness #SowLove #GiveItYourAll #YouWillBeRewarded #YourHardWorkIsNotInVain Ron Clark Confirms this in Chapter 20! :)]]> 2017-04-17 03:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166499006 ljohnson94 https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166499648 #LunchWithStudents #AttendTheirGames #Read/WatchTheirBooks&Shows...

"Find solutions" "No excuses!! Etc.." Our job is to ensure that it happens and for most, it is our goal and desire that it does happen...Frustration ignites when progress is delayed or is simply not present. There are many opportunities for guidance, support, and ways to offer and receive help... Sometimes we guage the level of support we give based on our own perceptions, but do we really offer effective support and feedback that gets results? Support that's specific and differentiated for that person? Lets take this same tone into the classroom shall we? Senario: "You're in the final stages of STAAR prep,  it's your toughest class and everyone is under a lot of stress... you decide to repeat what Mr. Johnson has told you in a staff meeting and tell your students "MAKE IT HAPPEN" "Don't make excuses!" and "Find Solutions!" Imagine your student's response or lack thereof, or the number of phone calls I'll receive from angry or concerned parents... I wonder if we would see any of the desired results with that tone expressed throughout the school?  My Point: In every disappointment, in every low score, in every behavioral challenge, in every area, remember that we are a team and that you are not alone. Together, we will find solutions, together, we will see progress, together, we will continue to thrive on excelled communication and community engagement, together, we will troubleshoot, research, and will not stop until we succeed.  We must be patient and understanding, set our expectations, lead by example, remember to be nurturing and offer feedback and support that builds a team. #ItTakesAVillage #TheRightMindSet #Leadership #Compassion #CollaborationIsKey]]> 2017-04-17 04:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166500673 ljohnson94 https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166505149 2017-04-17 05:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166505149 ljohnson94 https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166505332 Ask yourself these questions when designing your lessons. 
1.  How can I make this better?
2. How can i use this opportunity to create a special moment?
3. Have I taken every effort to make sure that I have covered all of my bases?
4.  Am I prepared for any issue that may arise?
5. Have i done all I can do to make it excellent?
Kudos to all who work so hard to make school excellent!

This was one of perks of being in school back in the 90's LOL! Students then were taught how to make bullet points.... and make notes!

Remember tone, and remain positive... Effectively communicate and don't assume they know what to do... Because if they're not doing it, then it's a good chance they may not know how or what to do...

Sure they're mad initially, but our students are not dumb... there are deep rooted problems, areas in their life that need to be addressed or have been abandoned... They know it and if you watch closely, you know it too... Appropriate Consequences and interventions given with good intent, will never negatively impact relationships. #Refinement #PureGoldInTheMaking]]> 2017-04-17 06:35:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ljohnson94/yog3xyhw0a0i/wish/166509285
