Wow some great resources and food for thought while trolling Twitter tonight. If you are not following Ruth Ayers I recommend you do!  Her tweet about being discouraged really spoke to me tonight.  I also downloaded the free book Teaching As An Act of Love by former teacher, principal, and kid: Richard Lakin.  Can't wait to share some of it with staff! I really feel passionate about keeping our staff motivated and encouraged! These items will help with that for sure.
