It's another #TeacherTuesday, and we are so delighted to spotlight Coach Sammy Byther! An educator at Mendenhall High School, Coach Byther holds many titles, including ninth-grade English teacher, junior varsity head football coach, and varsity defensive coordinator. As part of the Mendenhall High School football coaching staff, Coach Byther has played an integral part in the varsity team earning the titles of district champs three years in a row; 2022-23 South State Champs; and 2022-23 4A state runner-up. Outside of Simpson County, Coach Byther also holds other accolades, including recipient of the Athletic and Academic Excellence Award from Wesson High School and Wesson’s Key to the City recipient. When asked how does he help our students believe, achieve and succeed, he stated: “When it comes to helping students believe, achieve, and succeed daily, there are a few strategies I use. One approach is to create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel valued and encouraged. Creating a positive learning environment can involve various strategies. One example is fostering a sense of community in the classroom by encouraging collaboration and teamwork among students. This can be done through group projects, peer-to-peer learning, or even class discussions where everyone's ideas are valued. Another example is promoting inclusivity and respect by celebrating diversity and addressing any instances of bullying or discrimination. Providing a safe and supportive space where students feel comfortable expressing themselves is key. Additionally, setting clear goals and providing regular feedback can help students track their progress and stay motivated. It is also important to provide opportunities for students to explore their interests and passions, as this can foster a sense of purpose and drive.” Thank you, Coach Byther, for all that you to do to ensure our students “Believe, Achieve, Succeed – Every Day!” #WeAreSimpson #BelieveAchieveSucceed #TeacherTuesday

📚✨ Let's ignite a dialogue on a vital topic. In many communities, athletics can be viewed as extracurricular in impoverished areas and co-curricular in affluent ones. What's your perspective on this divide? Furthermore, should athletics play a role when we discuss providing a quality education to children? I firmly believe education means equipping kids with the tools they need in all aspects of life. The challenges and critical thinking demanded in sports, especially baseball, can undoubtedly foster social-emotional learning in kids. Let's explore whether athletics should be a part of the broader education conversation for African-American children in Atlanta, particularly within Atlanta Public Schools. Share your insights! 💬⚾️📖 #EducationMatters #AthleticsInEducation #CommunityDialogue

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀... When I'm not giving inspiring talks, I work at a Primary School covering PPA teaching PE lessons that meet the curriculum. I've always had a passion for sports and physical education during my school days because it helped me stay focused and I was allowed to showcase my skills. It's rewarding knowing that I can assist children with their physical education and use my speeches to boost their mental well-being, improving their self-esteem and nurturing a positive mindset. 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗜𝗦𝗡𝗢𝗪✌🏾 #sportscoach #inspirationalspeaker

Check it out: Failed the Praxis 3 Times 👉🏾 I want to help others build their content knowledge and have a strategy for preparing for the exam. There are too many great educators who get stopped from impacting lives because of a standardized exam. Cut Twice 👉🏾 It gave me the underdog mentality. I may not be the most talented, but I'm willing to work. I earned a basketball scholarship even though "technically" I was undersized. Failed Relationship and Proposals 👉🏾 I'm obsessed with emotional intelligence and efficacy. Because of my own failures, as I am teaching myself, I want to teach others. I honestly believe this will change the trajectory of schools, people and Black families. Rejected Twice Before I Became a Math Coach 👉🏾 This opportunity put me in a position to grow as a professional and move me discover my deep love for seeing others grow & more towards my vision of building the efficacy of people and running my mouth for a living. Failure doesn't always feel great but it has truly what has shaped me into the person I am. I took some major L's my first year as a teacher. I was not prepared, but I truly believe what I learned from those losses made me a much better educator. If you have failed at something, don't count yourself out, it's just an opportunity to move more towards what you were sent here to do.
