Empathy should elevate your expectations, not erase them. Hold the bar high because every kid deserves that. #StartWithTheCrown

Choose mission over demographics. You can’t change where a student comes from—but you can change how your team shows up for them.

Yes, the job is hard. Yes, it's exhausting. But when you're on a mission, that exhaustion hits different. It’s purpose-driven. Let’s do the work, lift each other up, and stay locked in on what matters.

I’ve been doing this work for years, and let me tell you—this isn’t a red issue or a blue issue. It’s a red, white, and blue issue. Across all levels, from every political stance, demographics are being chosen first. The question is, when will we start choosing learning first?

Transformation doesn’t come with comfort settings—it takes a Junkyard Dog to get uncomfortable and make things happen. If you want real change, you have to dig in, fight for it, and refuse to settle. Who’s ready to lead like a Junkyard Dog?

Real impact comes from action, not just ideas. Let’s talk about the work that’s being DONE, not just the work that’s being discussed.

It’s harder to be PROUD of the work when you feel like you’re always DEFENDING the work. #LeadFromWhereYouAre

THIS school understands that a commitment to the #PLCatWork mindset IS a moral imperative. Student expectations high, colleague expectations higher. 🐏🐏 #RuthlessEquity #atPLC #Lifesavers

In every school, there are staff getting positive results with the same students about whom other teachers say, “Nothing works with these kids.” Use these questions from Responding to Resistance to help you learn from “positive deviants” in your school. https://t.co/SK72GhZDmR

“When something they were doing in the class did not work, they stopped doing it, and tried to do something else. They flunked unsuccessful methods, not the children." John Holt How Children Fail (1964)
