Friends yesterday I officially completed my Masters degree in Lead Teacher. I Mastered it and DONE with it🎉🎉🎉 I wanted to come here and let you know the journey wasn’t easy and today I told myself GOOD THINGS DONT COME EASY. I am grateful for all the obstacles and overcoming the unseen and unspoken. We can do hard things—YOU GOT THIS‼️

Here’s the truth: students may forget your lesson on fractions, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. It’s the small things that stick. The teacher who remembered your birthday. The coach who noticed when you were down. Those moments whisper, “You matter.” Here are five everyday actions that build trust: Greet students by name at the door. -Praise effort, not just results. -Follow through on your promises. -Ask about life outside class, then listen. -Celebrate small wins out loud. None of these take more than a minute, but together, they can transform your classroom. This week, pick one and practice it daily. Then add another. Watch the culture shift before your eyes.

Good morning, Impact community. The county I work in is updating its grading policy for the new school year. There is a heated debate about whether or not students should have been given input in the new policy before it was finalized. What do you think? Should students have a say in how they are graded? If so, how much say? At what age? If not, why not?
