You wouldn’t tell a toddler learning to walk, “Get back to me when you’ve got this down, THEN we’ll celebrate.”
You’d cheer & encourage every attempt.
With some pursuits in life you’re still in the toddler stage.
Each step along the way is worth celebrating.
Cheer progress.

Every teacher knows the feeling of probing a silent classroom. This fresh approach to class discussions reduces teacher voice and sparks student dialogue.

An important 🧵 on personal success.
Based on experience, it seems those who detangle their “work self” from their “home self” compound their personal growth.
Be fully present, intensely focused in each moment.
But resist the force to revert back or to combine identities.
Quote Tweet
The number of people on this app who are all "you've got to be obsessed to succeed" and "I'll sleep when I die" never ceases to amaze me.
It's patently false. It makes you fragile.
There's a better way:

Abundance is key!
Writing clarifies and reinforces living a life of abundance.
Embraced as a daily habit, this practice creates an unstoppable flywheel.

Great approach planning a new day or reflecting on a challenging day.
I’ve done thirds:
•morning
•afternoon
•evening
Liking my chances for a successful day even more with an added fourth quarter!
Quote Tweet
Reframe your day.
"Instead of feeling that you lost the day after a bad morning,
Reframe each day as 4 quarters:
• morning
• midday
• afternoon
• evening
If you blow one quarter, just get back on track for the next one.
Fail small, not big."

I’m fortunate to have been a member of my school community for 25 years. Our schools have always been the hub of our community, a priority from our leadership team.
Lots of word-of-mouth and PA announcements with kids. And email/text blasts to parents work really well. #PIAchat
