I am learning and growing as a leader in HISD TLA. Listening to district leaders tonight during the Lanes of Leadership panel was eye opening. What’s my lane of leadership? Of course it’s campus administration. @LaKiaLeo78 @HISD_LPD #TeacherLeaderAcademy @FondrenMS_HISD

"Today was a good day. I love leading and learning. Enjoying the '70s, '80s, and '90s with students and staff. Being a teacher leader has been a rewarding experience. I can't wait to become an administrator, but until then, I’ll keep living a life for Christ." #Leadership

📊 Data is such a great means of gratification when used properly. There’s no better way to see the value in your hours of planning and hard work than to see your students grow. My favorite part of data analysis is when the students are excited about their own growth #HISDTLA

A leader is a dealer of hope. Be a champion of what's possible today... inspire others to keep going, share a positive vision for the road ahead... most of all believe in others more than they believe in themselves. #HISDTLA

God continually equips you for what He’s called you to. The call won’t be easy and the burden will be heavy…but if you’re CALLED you will be continually EQUIPPED. The lesson is…make sure HE CALLED YOU TO IT. Have a blessed day!
