“Why can’t school be more like Disney World?” Funding aside a smile and warm greeting costs nothing. From the main office, hallways, to classrooms. As it relates to school culture and the impact on our school community the effects are profound.
This book is a must read for families, educators, and anyone else working with children and youth. I’m using a lot of Haidt’s work in learning session on brain-based classrooms and discipline this summer.

A2. #BuildHOPEedu Innovation is all about change. Be creative and take some risks. "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." ~ Fred Devito
A3: we gain confidence and strength when we get to figure things out for ourselves and/or collaborate with others to come up with a solution or a product. It builds hope to give our Ss the freedom to feel that satisfaction that comes with creating something new. #buildhopeedu
A2: I did it by offering lots of choices. When we are given choices and the freedom to create, the fear of failure melts away. For those who felt uncomfortable with choices, I always had at least one option that wasn’t as loosey-goosey, more predictable if you will. #buildhopeedu
A1: When we stoke their curiosity and help inspire their creative juices to flow, their innovative ideas hold endless possibility and hope for the future. They become global thinkers who know that their options for creating are limitless. #buildhopeedu
New blog post: Don’t let yourself fall into the trap. With all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to fall into common pitfalls that can undermine the efforts made throughout the academic term. Here are 7 end of year traps all school leaders must avoid, with tips how to do it ⬇️⬇️…
A reminder that rest is not a luxury, and that doing nothing is nothing to feel guilty about. #JoyfulLeaders

Q3: How does becoming more intentional about directing our thoughts help us? How can you teach students the significance of this quote from Marcus Aurelius. #tlap
What messages do you share with your Ss at the start of a new week? (📸 via educator @SELebrateYOU) #JoyfulLeaders
When Ss understand the "why" behind what they're doing, they're more likely to buy in – and that goes for #SEL instruction, too, says educator @AshleyPTaplin:
