Aaron Pena is a principal from Midway ISD, and he sends out some very motivational quotes. If you haven't checked out his work, he leads a Twitter chat on Tuesdays at 3:45 (#TchElite) and Sundays at 9 p.m. (#EdThink). This week I wanted to share the tweet below that he shared last Friday. This quote is so powerful as we will have kids that will fail next week's assessments and some that will succeed. When kids fail a test or their formative assessment, how we build leverage our relationships with them can motivate and inspire them to not give up on their learning.
A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success. pic.twitter.com/GBs7WBazxO

College AND Career
Why do we have an emphasis on College and Career? Well, it's simple. The more education you get, the higher wage that you can earn, and the lower employment rate you will find. Check out this graphic from GoGrad.org of data collected by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. A picture is worth a thousand words, and this graphic can be summed up in 1 tweet.
Your Education is Your Future!!!
