RT @teachergoals: Important. 🧡

Cultural humility. Emotional integrity. ❤️

Collective efficacy.

Middle schools educators engaged in a few of @mr_Alsheimer’s classroom fun-da-mentals as they prepare to transition students to a block schedule this school year. Preservice PD included head-shoulders-knees-color, the scribe, tower of terror, boom-clap-grab, and grudge ball!

Yes!!! 💯.

Both. At the same time. 🎯.

Own the work, not the title 🎯

Absolute truth for every great leader I’ve had the privilege to learn from…and every dynamic team I’ve had the honor to serve on. 💯

How often do we seek change by simply seeing what’s already in our lives from a new light? Be the “what’s new” in your life.

RT @WJCCLeadsSS: We are team building today with a little game of Capture the Flag as we learn to Navigate the C’s of Change in @WJCCSchool….

PSA for school leaders…requiring stakeholders to download and print forms to fill them out is an inequitable practice. Invest the time this summer to make all of your forms electronically fillable and submittable. ALL of them…AND provide paper copies upon request.

“I build relationships with my kids.”.“How do you know?”.

Lead responsibly.

One of the most powerful PL experiences is affording Ts the opportunity to observe other Ts…if not for the strategies, for the collective efficacy boost of vicarious experiences. Leaders, I challenge you to create structures for regular peer observations in & across schools.

Shoutout to my ReachVA Community of Practice…I used GCI’s GROWTH model to coach a new principal through a systemic challenge, and it was such an organic and authentic interaction. From Relationships to Results…link in comments. @GabbyRyman @missydhill @reichardrock

RT @shareski: What a difference it would make if governments viewed education as an investment instead of an expense. #ISupportSTF.
