Thrilled to be leading the search for the next superintendent of the Catskill Central School District. Great district on the shores of the majestic Hudson River and at the northern end of the gorgeous Catskill Mountains.

I’m grateful to the leadership cabinet of the plainview old Bethpage school district. They are delightful hard-working focused leadership team. I had a great time facilitating their retreat.

Every school day is filled with unexpected glitches and hiccups.  The best leaders respond with poise, perseverance, and a positive attitude.

We say PLCs matter, but then hesitate to hold teachers accountable for their evidence. Why? Because deep down, we pity them. We’re afraid of pushback, of them leaving, of them being unhappy. But pity doesn’t build professional culture—accountability does.

I had a great time with the Allegany-Limestone administrative team yesterday. They are one of my favorite groups of leaders with whom to work. They are fun, smart and driven. Looking forward to working with the Olean Board of Education today!

Want to build an amazing culture? Assume every day that those around you feel unseen, forgotten and undervalued, then act accordingly. Doing so will always put you at your best with those with whom you work.
