Quotables
Behavior and instruction go hand in hand.
We focus so much on jobs and occupations instead of what opportunities can our students create.
In order for us to truly require excellence from our students, we have to stop operating in a state of mind of mediocrity.
I don’t care if you are jumping forward or taking baby steps forward, it is still progress.
