No one else is responsible for your happiness. Start every day with a positive mindset/ attitude and see how much better the day gets everytime.

Staff Morale has to be a major focus this school year.

Good questions that could provide a window into student thought while also helping to build connection.

@LodgeofLeaders @LMSKristin I was just thinking the same... this is great for admin to use with staff and students!

When people tell me that they want to get back into reading but can’t seem to find THAT BOOK, I have some go-to recs based on what made them love reading in the first place — here are 56 of them 🧵

We need to focus on developing leaders, not just promoting people to leadership roles.

the 3R’s of an Effective Principal? Relationships, Relationships, Relationships!

When we really think about leadership, isn’t it to support, encourage, appreciate, and inspire? Otherwise all you really have left is to boss people around or micromanage them.

As the teacher shortage worsens, the priority of school districts should be taking care of teachers and staff. Without them there will be no school for children to attend.

Regardless of your role or position,personally or professionally, I can not overstate the power of encouragement.

RT @DrBradJohnson: Even the best teachers who seem to have it all together still need encouragement, support,and to know they’re appreciate…

RT @DrBradJohnson: Good leaders know their stuff. Great leaders know their stuff and their staff.

RT @MParkerFCHS: Alright Twitter I need your help. My wife’s grandad turns 100 on 5/4, all he wants for his birthday is to see his picture…

Just spoke my own version of this to a group of people last week. Relationships matter!

Awesome night celebrating our Stars of the C-House!! Thanks to FCHS students Parker Jones and Valerie Bennett for creating this night for our kids!!

I’ve learned a lot of things as a principal… but the big one is this: Teachers are the most important resource in the school. They need to be supported, encouraged, and celebrated. They drive the school.

Thank your school counselors. Most have no idea how much they shoulder and how much they absorb simply by doing their jobs. Counselors carry the weight of an entire community and will oftentimes sacrifice their own families for the betterment of those whom they serve.

@BrysonBridget Get well soon!! ❤

A Gallup poll showed that of ALL professions, TEACHERS were least likely to say their opinion counts & least likely to say that their supervisors create an open & sharing environment. Leaders, don't be afraid to seek input and feedback if you want a committed staff this year.
