UnShakeable 20 Ways to to Enjoy Teaching Every Day...No Matter What

My takeaways:
*"Do you have a vision for your classroom?"
*"What really matters?  What gives you a sense of purpose and accomplishment?  Think big!  Why do you teach?"
*"Your vision is what will get you through the hard times and help you feel a sense of satisfaction when no one else is saying thank you or telling you that you've done a great job."
*Quote from Krissy Venosdale "Posting a lesson target before teaching a lesson is like announcing what a gift is before it's opened.  Post a question.  Bring curiosity and thinking back to the classroom!"
*Use essential questions to drive your instruction and help kids uncover a greater purpose for what they're learning."
*We need to make sure that students' learning results in changing outcomes.  Students need to believe that the tasks they do make a difference beyond the four walls of the classroom."
*"Life and character skills are the things that really matter and that make teachers' work so, so important.  Kids generally don't learn life and character skills from activities in the teachers' manual and multiple choice tests.  These are skills that require a caring teacher to personalize the learning and make it matter on a deep level.  You have the opportunity to do that every day in your classroom and I promise, it will be absolutely transformational in your sense of passion for your work as well as student's engagement."
