2/2 we absolutely need to do better. For the sake of our children and students athletic sake and development sake. Absolutely embarrassed to be in the same gym with these fans. My 9 y/o asked me, “why can’t they let them do their job and stop yelling?” Good question son #dobetter

My classroom management improved when I focused more on creativity and collaboration and less on compliance. Instead of trying to catch kids doing things wrong, we celebrated the amazing things they did well, and those “things” got exponentially better because the fear was gone.

It is important in education to understand that technical skills become less of a focus as you rise in Leadership and people focus becomes more important. That's why micromanagers make ineffective leaders.

Fixing Education (@fixingeducation) 's Twitter Profile Photo

One of the biggest issues in education… The people that make decisions for what is best for students are NOT teachers. Nor are teachers even asked.

School lunches should be free. And school lunches MUST improve. The food is often tasteless, repetitive, and unhealthy. We have the capacity to fix this but unfortunately lack the will.

The #1 priority of admin should be staff morale. Everything else is secondary. Here's a few tips: * give them a voice * Trust them as professionals * Treat everyone as individuals/ humans * Respect their time * Show them you care personal/professional * celebrate/ appreciate

Expecting excellence and expecting perfection are very different and one of the major factors that determines the effectiveness of leaders.

Proud to have worked with you, learned from you and call you a friend. Lots of memories are made on the ballfield, but a whole lot more made it home!

Students know when a teacher is real. They have a radar for authenticity. * Admit when you've made a mistake * Say Thank You * Don't feel like you have to know it all * Listen to them/ ask them about their interests * Use humor/ stories * Let them know/ see you really care

Dozens of 4-year schools saw just how effective Wyley can be today! If you’re looking for an absolute bulldog on the mound who competes in the zone with all his pitches at all times come get him!

Had a great day watching the boy do his thing! The pitchers in the last two games we played against threw 109 and 100 pitches. It is never ok to do that to a 12-year-old. Nobody’s arms are in shape. This is abuse by coaches that just want to win cheap three dollar medals…
