We know how much you put into your role as educators so we wanted to express our gratitude. Here are some messages from our Teach Better Administrator Mastermind family from their heart to yours.
Wonderful Ones
Wonderful Ones…This principal wants you to know that he sees you. He sees you being a teacher, a parent, an arbitrator, a counselor, a nurse, a confidant, a magician, an ATM, a psychic, a moral compass, a dream-keeper, a community builder, and a role model. And the best thing is you come back and do it again tomorrow! With appreciation and love, Martin Silverman, Principal

The way faculty has leaned into your creativity and innovative strategies this past year during the pandemic has been amazing! Schools are learning so much about education due to your dedication. Here’s to more inspiring moments in the future! – Jennifer Ozgur, Educational Consultant and SEL PD Provider
Teachers were thrust into a rapidly changing world of education as a result of an unprecedented global pandemic and they swiftly rose to the challenge, pivoting from traditional in-person instruction to a “new normal” of remote and hybrid learning. Many have already been looking to the post-pandemic future, exploring ways to apply what they have learned over the past year to improve teaching and learning for all! We appreciate all you have done, are doing, and continue to do to help your students succeed! – Alex T. Valencic, Curriculum Coordinator

You Matter!
Hey teachers, you matter!! You make a difference in the lives of kids through your impact and through the human experience you bring every day through relationships and connections with those around you.

Teachers are amazingly creative, resilient, and innovative! Teachers make a difference in the lives of our students every day! We must support our teachers and show them respect! – Brandi Kelly, Principal
Teachers have been working so hard this year. In a support role, it has been inspiring to see all you have done to ensure your students have great learning opportunities. Teachers are doing amazing things and I know our students love you for it! – Adam Bold, Instructional Equity Coach
Teachers, you matter more. More than books, more than tech, more than innovative schedules, more than class sizes. More than anything. Teachers, you are the difference. You are the secret sauce.
