Had the best time at @sherwood this afternoon. Taking time to onboard our new administrators & those whoβve moved into new roles is how we build a positive culture and team. @Mr_KSaunders did a great job of decorating @pbertanaβs office in recognition of her 1st day. #112leads

Sunday scaries are a reminder that you care about your job and want to make a real difference through your work.
Today, donβt focus on the barriers to your impact. Spend a moment in gratitude, remembering why you want to make an impact and what your work means to you! β at Ohio, USA

The argument is not for teacher autonomy. Itβs for responsive/adaptive instruction. Whichβ¦is supported by research but is missing in practice when implementation of any approach is made to be lock-step.

Innovation thrives in an environment where curiosity is nurtured, questions are celebrated, and βWhy not?β is the default response. #authenticleadership β at Clemmons, NC

Donβt mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, theyβre often busy thinking and learning.
Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak.
I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.
