1. Reading out loud, one student at a time, is about as good as having a track team share a treadmill for practice. One works, twenty-eight watch? YUCK! (By @DrMattParker)

2. Punishing irresponsibility doesn't teach a student how to be responsible. (By @BrettHancock)

3. Implementation relies on clear expectations. Expectations need to be inspected. Inspection requires a commitment. (By @vhsaldana)

4. I've found there is no "magic formula" for success. Stay humble, hungry and outwork everyone (or try to at least). (By @TheRock)

5. We need to keep three items in place: Making the most of our learning environment; Purposeful targeted instruction: Follow through with support. (By @genevie79cr)

6. Today's Quote:  “A library is a place where we learn what teachers were afraid to teach us.” (By @DrRichAllen)

7. What we learn today doesn't make yesterday wrong. It makes tomorrow better. (By @Jeff_Zoul)

8. How often do students suffer through, “Guess what’s on the teacher's mind?” It’s disingenuous and dishonest. (By @willkimbley)

9. To the high school players frustrated with their playing time, Marcus Mariota didn't start a game until his Senior year. Let that sink in. (By @coachjjohnson1)

10. Excited to share that The Fundamental 5 (Cain & Laird) has now sold over 69,000 copies! Thank you, LYS Nation!! (By @LYSNation)

Think. Work. Achieve.
