Quotables

The Oprah of Education

Be consciously respectful of others' experiences

Validate thinking behind mistakes

Mix high value information with my own personal take on things

No one should get their hands slapped for doing things the "old way," because the "old way" was just a few years ago

Regular, systematic feedback

You have to find people to spend your time with who are the kinds of teachers you want to be .... you will become like the people you surround yourself with

Find a mentor- someone who I look up to, who has knowledge i dont have, and is willing to give me a little guidance every once in a while

[Teaching], its such a difficult job; its not meant to be easy, and people don't go into it because its easy, but I want to thank teachers

Remember to stop and pay attention
