Leadership is about doing whatever it takes to help your team succeed. Average leaders make excuses and let things happen. Great leaders take ownership and get things done.

The Best Teachers are Great because of Choices they make. Not Talent. Choices such as:
🍎 Showing Patience when students don't learn
🍎 Being Love when kids are hurting
🍎 Listening
🍎 Being Positive
🍎 Choosing to make Every student feel like the favorite!

Thankful for a 3rd place finish in the TSSAA state wrestling championship. A huge thank you to my coaches, teammates, and family for their endless support and belief in me. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without all the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices.

Students guessing is not students engaging in critical thinking. It's just guessing.

“The No. 1 reason teachers leave the profession is the pay. The No. 1 reason parents don’t want their children to become teachers is the pay. So, the No. 1 solution...must be increasing teacher salaries.” —John Arthur, 6th grade teacher and @myUEA member

Kofi Annan: “Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is...a basic human right... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman, and child can realize [their] full potential.”

Stop looking for “creative” ways to retain teachers. It’s insulting.
They’re professionals.
Pay them more.

25,000 principals leave their schools every year. 70% of hired principals will leave their school within 5 years. It costs ~$75,000 to recruit & train each replacement. Think of the money saved, stability added to schools, & how more successful they would be if we prepare/mentor them effectively.

The first step in improving student performance is to identify practices and programs that are not producing the desired results. While that sounds easy, it is not. People convince themselves that what they are doing is effective even when 70% of their children cannot read.
