Katie is also collaborative and an outside the box thinker! Thank you Katie for making us all better at Sequiota every day!

Sara has done a great job of collaborating with her 1st grade team, while taking and sharing ideas for her students.

Coach hill loves her students, is flexible and willing to do whatever she is asked. Coach Hill makes sure that every student in her class is having FUN in P.E. and learning something as well. All students love Coach Hill and love that she makes P.E. fun with Music & Dancing! Thank you Eafton for all to bring to the tribe!
The Last Chapter of Todd Whitaker...
"Great teachers care about their students. They understand that behaviors and beliefs are tried to emotion, and they understand that power of emotion to jump-start change."
As we finish out the school year, take a moment to think about what your STRONG CORE BELIEFS in your classroom are. Todd Whitaker shares his own, but every teacher has their own core beliefs. Here are some that Whitaker shares:
- Make it cool to care...those students who don't care about writing but they write because they care about you and pleasing you. You have make it "cool to care".
- It is obvious when teachers have created an environment in which it is "cool to care". Their students care about the teacher, their school, learning and each other.
- "When a teachers sensitivity to students increases, so does the opportunity to reach them."
- "Great teachers impact others in more ways than they can ever know. The legacies we build last far beyond our years."
- "No matter what others want us to do, we must focus on what is right for our students."
- "The teacher is the filter for what happens in the classroom."
- "The quality of the teachers determines the quality of the school."
- "Every person should be treated, and treat each other with dignity and respect every day."
- "Every teacher has an impact, GREAT teachers make a difference."
