How to Use the Teacher Quote Cards
Print on Card Stock
Use heavier paper so the cards hold up when they are passed around, pinned up or carried in a pocket.
Cut Along the Dashed Lines
Trim each card with scissors or a paper trimmer. Cut one page at a time to keep the cards straight.
Leave One in a Mailbox
Slip a card into a colleague's mailbox or onto their desk with a short note of thanks.
Start a Staff Meeting
Hand out a card, read it aloud, and ask everyone what it says about the work you do.
Keep Your Own Set
Pin a few above your desk or tuck one in your plan book, and swap them out each month.
