Just a reminder that there is overwhelming research showing homework does little to improve achievement and can actually have negative effects. Recess however has many positive effects such as improved self regulation of emotions, improved interpersonal skills and focus!

Anyone who says children don’t need time for recess, play, and to socialize, doesn’t understand children or how they learn.

Teachers should not have to work well beyond contracted hours (unpaid) just to get things done. Then we wonder why there is a 50% attrition every 5 years. This year will be off the charts if we don’t change expectations. We need state and district leaders to step up for teachers.

For teams to be effective, they need conflict. Not destructive conflict, healthy conflict—the kind that allows for disagreements, different viewpoints, & a path forward that deepens relationships on a team.

PSA: 📣

Just a friendly reminder...

Teachers don't leave because it's hard. Teachers are some of the hardest working professionals I know. They leave because the amount of work no longer is comparable to pay, respect, and value that they deserve for the workload.
