Catch the Energy - FISH!




The FISH! Philosophy is a set of simple, practical tools to help teachers create a positive work culture. It’s a way to build stronger relationships that equip us to face challenges in schools more effectively. The FISH! Philosophy fulfills the most basic needs of human beings who, in turn, fulfill the needs of the organization—more connected teams, better communication, extraordinary service and higher retention.

We had a blast learning about the four components of FISH! We now know we need "Be There," "Play," "Make Their Day," and "Choose Our Attitudes." Believe us, fish were flying all over the room! Also, there were fish treats on the tables. You sure can't beat a gummy fish!
We all noticed Bernard cuddling two little fish creatures just before he started beaning people with them. Middle school teachers are sure a special bunch!
