Absolutely! 🙌 Teaching doesn’t guarantee learning—feedback is the bridge that closes that gap. When feedback becomes a tool for transformation—not just evaluation—learning sticks. #EdLeadership #ElevateReflection

One leader holding the vision is like one trumpet blasting in a marching band—loud, but not exactly music. Share it with the whole team, and suddenly you’ve got a symphony in motion.

A vision is only effective if it is shared. So it’s not about the leader; it’s about the team.  It’s about the values that are held in common.  It’s about the relationships that are built.  And it’s about the shared aspirations among everyone in the organization.

Absolutely. 🎯 Strengths-first teaching changes everything—when we model curiosity, listen deeply, and design tasks with choice + challenge, kids see what they’re capable of. Let’s be the mirrors and the map. #AssetBased #StrengthsBased #edutwitter #MTSS #UDL

Powerful and true. A healthy culture is built when success is shared, collaboration is welcomed, and people genuinely look out for one another. It’s less about competition and more about community. #Culturize

Three things you will see today in successful organizations with heatlhy cultures. 1. Everyone in the organization wants everyone else to experience success. 2. People give others permission to help them be successful. 3. People take care of each other with an “I got you”

Well said. Leadership is not about position but about influence—and we all have it. The real test is whether our influence builds others up or tears them down. Thank you for the reminder that growth in leadership is a continual journey, not a final destination.
