"My life will speak louder than I will ever talk..."
People may hear your words, and they may read your words. But that doesnāt mean they know your heart. What really matters, is what you do and how you treat others. Itās the example you set. The life you lead is always more powerful than the speech you give.
In the past decade, Iāve heard more promotion of productive struggle than explicit instructionāforgetting that struggle without a foundation leads to frustration, not learning. As @MrZachG reminds us, cognitive overload happens when we withhold the explanations students need.ā¦
Equity isnāt a sloganāitās a system.
Last week, we met with our buddy class to make Veterans Day Cards for our family members who have served in the military. Happy Veterans Day, we honor you and thank you for your service. #MrsSaundersScholars #hawksSOARtogether #oneccps @OldHundredES
Advocacy requires strength, ownership, and belief that change is possible. Step out of the pity, into the purpose ā your power lies in advocacy, not victimhood.
Excellence requires focus. You canāt master everythingābut you can master what matters most. Be ruthless about your priorities.
Belonging isnāt a āsoft skill.ā Itās the foundation of equity. Ruthless educators know that when students feel seen, valued, and safe, they donāt just show up ā they thrive.
Stop using subgroup data as a shield. Itās not a reflection of the students ā itās a reflection of our impact. Equity isnāt about identifying whoās behind. Itās about taking responsibility for whoās teaching.
We completed a creativity workout where we used squiggles on a piece of paper to create a representation of one of the four earthquake myths we read about this week. #MrsSaundersScholars #hawksSOARtogether #oneccps @OldHundredES
Congratulations to our 1st Quarter SOAR Award Winners! #MrsSaundersScholars #hawksSOARtogether #oneccps @OldHundredES
Every victory a student earns has our fingerprints on it. Itās not luck. Itās leadership. Itās not circumstance. Itās commitment.
Celebrated earning 25 compliments with board games and card games. Such a great way to practice positive collaboration skills! #MrsSaundersScholars #hawksSOARtogether #oneccps @OldHundredES
When students walk in, theyāre entering a room led with purpose, clarity, and care. You donāt just show up to their worldātheyāre welcomed into yours. Own the space. Shape the culture. Lead the learning.
Real equity means giving every student access to the highest level of learning and supporting them to get there.
We launched our Indigenous People's unit with a gallery walk. We used photos to activate our schema and spark curiosity! #MrsSaundersScholars #hawksSOARtogether #oneccps @OldHundredES
Our systems are experts at ignoring your experts. Stop overlooking the skill in your own building. Your staff isnāt the variable. Theyāre the solution.
We explored Open Middle Tasks during W.I.N. time today! #MrsSaundersScholars #hawksSOARtogether #oneccps @OldHundredES
The moment you hand your pain to someone else, you hand them your power too. Leaders donāt outsource responsibility, they own it, face it, and fix it.
