There is a big difference between being firm and mean. It is possible to be one without the other. Be firm. Don't be mean. Kids respect firm. They might not like it, but they respect it. Mean often makes them want to quit. #thatonekid #teachers #coaches #parents

One of my favorite ways to build culture is to reward everyone in honor of one. 'Because Jenny had such a great week, all of you get 10 extra minutes of recess in her honor. Thank her not me.' This can be done school wide!

-Are given responsibility
- Look forward to allowed moments of joy & laughter each day
