#MotivationalMonday: “Meet Their Needs”
I have several stories from my first couple years of teaching. Two stick out to me. One student needed help academically, so helped her become a stronger reader and writer. Another student needed assistance in becoming better behaviorally. Both students were successful but approached them differently. You can, too, if you follow these three rules.
1. Build A Relationship
2. Evaluate The Data
3. Push Them Toward Goals
Challenge: Build A Relationship or Take A Deep Dive Into The Data
If you do these things, you’ll start to see those gaps filled.

A few weeks ago, I was asked if I’m competitive. My response was that I don’t believe in competition…I want to dominate and be the best.
You can do that by doing three things.
Accept Nothing Less Than Excellence
Know Your Purpose
Realize That’s What Your Students Deserve
Challenge: Set An EOY(End of Year) Performance Goal
If you try to be the best, your students will want to be the best.

#MotivationalMonday: Be An "Aite Cool" Educator
#MotivationalMonday: Be An “Aite Cool” Educator
Don’t you hate that friend or family member who takes things too seriously and want them to say Aite Cool every once in a while.
Well…as an educator we should take the same mentality.
There are three ways to do it.
1. Have a relaxed classroom atmosphere.
2. Allow teammates to try something new.
3. Roll with what the admin says sometimes and don’t buck up.
Challenge: Use flexible groupings in your classroom
Be more chill and your practice will improve.

#MotivationalMonday: Have A Sense of Urgency
I’ve been a teacher for seven years but haven’t had a regular year since my 2nd one. I changed homerooms my 3rd year, dealt with Covid-19 in year four, taught only at the end of year five, and then split duties last year.
Due to that, I have a sense of urgency. If you do three things, you can, too.
1. Begin With The End In Mind.
2. Realize that tomorrow isn’t promised
3. Model that urgency to students. If you’re urgent, they will be.
Pick up the speed and your students will grow.
Challenge for the week: Set an end of year goal for one or all your students.
