Good things are happening in schools across Texas, and behind so many of those good things are our incredible principals. ☺️ In honor of National Principals Month, we’re celebrating principals who make a difference on their campuses every day. They lead, support, solve problems, make hard calls, and celebrate the wins that keep their campuses moving forward. You see their influence in teachers who feel supported, decisions that keep students at the center, teams that work together, and campus cultures that support everyone’s growth. 🌟 #lead4ward #nationalprincipalsmonth

We know it's not a small ask to step away when budgets and time are tight. But a reset like this one tends to pay for itself when your team walks back into the building with new energy and new ideas. By December, the school year has a rhythm. You've solved problems you didn't know were coming. Held meetings. Supported teachers. Taught lessons. Navigated change. Celebrated wins. Handled the hard days. And kept going. That's exactly why the think! conference takes place in December. Not because educators need one more thing on the calendar, but because educators need something on the calendar to look forward to. Come catch your breath. Come find a new idea. Come reconnect with your people. Come back with a little more energy for what comes next. Learn more here! lead4ward.com/think #lead4ward #think26 #gowild #texaspd

This spring marks the final time students take STAAR before the new Student Success Tool (SST) takes the stage. So, we're making this year's Rockin' Review a little different. We're keeping the powerful 10-day review framework you've come to rely on and bringing new strategies that reflect the range of complexity STAAR requires. You'll have better ways to approach the high-impact topics students need to know, with entry points for different learners. In one day, you'll leave with: - A complete 10-day review plan for your content area - The high-impact topics state data tells us are most likely to be tested - Content- and grade-specific strategies ready to use - Multiple ways to review those topics at different levels of complexity - A clear connection to what carries forward to SST Learn more here! lead4ward.com/review-confere… #lead4ward #rockinreview #STAARreview #SSTprep
