@flipflippen Expectations from the top.

HELP. NBC is calling and asking why schools are struggling so much w/teacher retention, burnout, discipline issues etc. I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU so your words are shared with them. Tweet me your thoughts please. Our kids need you !!

Ran into this beauty at Texas Wesleyan well on a field trip. She is a junior now. So proud of you Leslie!!! #GPAVIDalum

Sharks keep the ocean moving, just like an effective school leader keeps the district/campus/students moving towards success. #sharkweek #edleadership #principals #edadmin

"When we combine excellence and equity, what we are focused on is how do we make sure that all kids are exposed to high standards and quality teachers." - Dr. Pedro Noguera #ThisIsAVID buff.ly/2Y5qNO4

HIRE not higher. I need to proof read my tweets. I swear they look good before I tweet them! 🤦🏽‍♀️

CH20: Visit what you value. Do you want to improve your school improve your teachers are higher better ones. Success# comes from people not programs. Empower your teachers and respect them. Make them feel good so they can do the same for their students.#summCH20 #TheEnd gradclass

CH19: PLAN your year!Set expectations at the beginning of the year & KEEP THEM! Changing policies & procedures over & over throughout the year is good for no one.Just like the classroom, the kids/teachers will fight it all day until May. #structurewins #everyoneneedsit #summCH19

CH18:Teachers can be the worst students,especially at fac meetings; however, the leader at the faculty meeting is responsible 4 engaging the audience, making sure they have their full attention, & managing the behavior. Isn’t that what is expected of teachers in the classroom?

CH17: It’s okay to show emotion and be vulnerable. It’s real. Is it our job to teach kids manners and be good citizens in the community? If we don’t, who will? Model good citizenship. Be the example. #sumnaryCH17

CH16: Let’s build relational capacity in the school: from principal to teachers, teacher to students, students to adults! Knowing how to act in public can go a long way! #summaryCH16 #lovewins

CH15: just like the classroom, challenge those high achievers to be even better, and affirm them with autonomy and recognition. Don’t overlook them! They are harder on themselves than you ever will be! #summaryCH15 #hardestworkers

CH14: assume positive intent, but be real. Being uncomfortable can bring change. Affirm those teachers and students that do the right thing. Make them comfortable. It’s a win-win! #summaryCH14

CH13: Empower your best teachers. Value your Superstars! Ask them for input and feedback on the day to day of the building. Don’t lose their voice. You might lose them. #summaryCH13#

CH12: What is loyalty look like? Great principals describe it as doing what is best everyday for your students. Planning for them. Learning about them. Making them learn. #Mr.Arendse #summaryCH12
