A full day of collaboration with our Middle School Leadership Team was good for the soul! This group of leaders is talented and fired up to support teachers and students. Thank you for a great day! #together @officialSPS – at Missouri, USA
Wow! Looks like summer reading.
I love @unfoldthesoul ‘s term “expensive people” for those who make it costly to hold them accountable. Get Ruthless Equity ASAP: principalcenter.com/ken-will…

An under appreciated aspect of leadership is the need for the leader to make tough choices. #StartWithTheCROWN #atplc #leadership #suptchat #RuthlessEquity #k12schools #Equity #THATSchool

We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard.
Give yourself (and others) grace.
Speak life and encourage others.
Look for the good today.
Remember your WHY.
Believe the best is yet to come.

So true— in the 90’s we took notes when someone was speaking — to not only actively listen but to internally process. This graphic takes it to the next level. I think we need to regain the “active listening” part of communication. – at Ozark, MO
Active listening is so important and hard to do really well. Takes a lot of practice!

Each student walking down the hall deserves eye contact and a positive greeting.
This is an easy way to model 'adulting' for our students.

When I served as a high school science teacher - this training revolutionized my teaching practice. The greatest beneficiary of this skillset was our English Language Learner students. A great set of strategies across all subject areas to achieve Academic Equity! #equity

Teaching standards—without first showing students what you want them to be able to know and do—is like asking kids to complete a jigsaw puzzle, but you won’t show them the picture on the cover of the box. #atplc

I’m done hearing “our schools are broken”. Point to another industry during this crisis that has more quickly adapted to change, supported our most vulnerable, & served the community at large...without a bailout.
I’ll wait.
