This is shameful and not at all new. In the past, the Taliban imposed a “temporary” ban on girls’ education that lasted five years. They are testing our resolve. We demand that leaders stand up for Afghan girls’ right to go to school.

My heart breaks every time I hear more about the beautiful country I lived in for three years. This is not the Lebanon I knew - Lebanon as We Once Knew It Is Gone #lebanon

ACS and Beirut will always be in my heart. I hope for recovery
Our hearts are with the families of the victims whose lives were cut short unnecessarily one year ago today - many of whom are still suffering, grieving and trying to put the pieces of their lives back together.

Stop attacking @Simone_Biles for putting her health above a sport. As a diver, seeing her get lost in midair was terrifying. This isn’t about toughness—she can push through pain. It’s for safety—being disoriented is dangerous. Gymnasts have been paralyzed by landing headfirst.

What a fabulous double episode! #leadership #vulnerability
In our daring leadership series, I unpack four more types of armor we use to self-protect, including cultivating a fitting-in culture vs a belonging culture; leading reactively vs leading strategically; & resisting change vs accepting and embracing change. https://t.co/AeX06LtfNy

Blown away by the effect size of collective efficacy in my professional learning seminar!
Collective teacher efficacy is the "number one" influence on student achievement. Leaders, how do we build collective teacher efficacy in our schools and districts?

Love this piece by @stevebarkley An Environment for Growth: The Role of Vulnerability and Discomfort https://t.co/XaR933ax1E

Because of the connection between trust and vulnerability, we need to live through the initial discomfort of vulnerability for trust to form.

The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.

"Exhaustion is not a status symbol. Self-care is. Give yourself support and nurturance." ~ Dr. Fran Prolman. Take care of yourself! Rest, sleep, eat well, and spend quality time with loved ones. There is only one you! #InspirationalMonday #quotestoliveby #quotes

Hearts, prayers and love to #Lebanon right now. Our @ACSBeirut people are safe but we are still working through our larger community. And those who are able in Beirut, @aubmc is in need of many types of blood. Please donate to the #Beirut blood bank.
