Tireless devotion to self-discipline and professionalism, thriving in the most difficult environment. Appreciation isn't sufficient. Admiration is more appropriate. For another year, you've held it together. And held us together, too. Thank you, Teachers.

The most important form of group work in schools is the one between teachers. Everybody working together as a team to build a culture of high expectations results in safe and enjoyable learning. 49 teachers who prefer to do their own thing is not my idea of professionalism.

Students were chosen by their teachers as “Students of the Month” from 1st semester. & presented those students with $25! Those students then chose a teacher to recognize & present with a local business gift card.

The problem with New Year's Resolutions comes from our disappointment on January 2nd. We look to continue our great idea on Day #2 and realize that we are still on step 1 in an instruction manual that has dozens of pages. #selfcare

Giving teachers an opportunity to talk and make choices about the school works too! We chose #Culturize as a professional development book study this year and it has been great! Thanks,

This is also how you recruit. Word gets around.

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!

A wonderful take on professionalism by : "The professionalism of the teacher is tested by how successfully they can display authority without being authoritarian." #teachertwitter #edchat

If we want more effective differentiated instruction in classrooms, we should be providing more effective differentiated professional development to help teachers achieve it. And in most cases, there are teachers present in a faculty with that expertise to share. #edchat

Structures are needed that provide non-threatening opportunities to bring teachers who can offer experience together with teachers who would like to use this experience for the development of their practice.

From a 2006 study in Singapore that analyzed the determinants of teacher professionalism, the understatement of the century, thus far. There is a vast potential of know-how available within the teaching profession which is not tapped at present.

I would add that there are countless teachers and coaches who fulfill this role as well. We all have dozens of mentors to thank for our growth.

The recent passing of two mentors led me to reflect on their influence.

School leaders(regardless of position)are servant leaders. They push us toward our potential, often being the only people who can see it. They tell us the truth about ourselves when we need to hear it, serving as impromptu mentors for generations of students AND educators.#edchat

School Leader - an educator who is perfectly happy to work behind the scenes, making sure people get the credit they deserve...Until something bad happens, and everyone else moves behind the scenes. Then the school leader steps forward and sorts out a solution. #edchat

*That’s the way we’ve always done it* is the closest thing to an immovable object as you will find. Not only is the change uncomfortable, but you have to go against everyone else. #Edchat

The greatest impediments to great change in our education system are individual comfort zones. For change to happen some things must be left behind. #Edchat
