When AI Feels More Welcoming Than School - Listen more. Judge less. If students feel more welcomed by AI than by school, that is where our work begins. Belonging is built one interaction at a time. bit.ly/RW052026 In June, we will take a “summer break” and shift to twice-monthly updates.

As a school principal & CAO, I couldn’t afford to get all of my staff to conferences, together. THIS is an answer to that challenge…at YOUR site…everyone involved…common language…collective efficacy. This is great for a region of schools too! Yes! @AllysonApsey @mccartyann

Another episode sure to have you on your toes! Listen in to how Rachael George went from fire fighting to school leadership and everything in between. @DruTomlin4Edu @AllysonApsey @burgessdave @CreativeLdrSol @mccartyann youtube.com/watch?v=jgZb7g…

Better results don’t come from repeating the same playbook. Hope is not a strategy. A tailored onsite national conference can unite your team around shared learning and a common language for growth. Find relevant topics at: creativeleadership.net @AllysonApsey @mccartyann

Devices became symbols of equity. But access was never the same as impact. The real question isn’t how much tech students use—it’s how much thinking they do. This research challenges what schools have assumed for years. Read the Research - creativeleadership.net/flatpack-learn…

Yes 🙌🏻! It’s KEY season for educational leaders to reflect on success & setback in ALL areas. Things didn’t go as desired?? Let’s do something about it. Let’s stop “hoping” it gets better. CLS is YOUR partner to deliver results. 💗Love this work! @AllysonApsey @mccartyann

Reflection is more than just analyzing year-end data; it is about defining the true daily experience we want for our students & staff. Now is the critical time to identify gaps in your current culture & impact the future. creativeleadership.net @AllysonApsey @mccartyann

Leadership Challenge: Look at your intervention numbers. If more than 15-20% of your Ss require Tier 2/3 support, it's time to stop looking at the intervention schedule & start looking at the Tier 1 playbook. creativeleadership.net @AllysonApsey @mccartyann @melsteph0801

This seems like a simple concept but so often we miss its power. When we are crystal clear and Ss know what success looks like, we don’t waste critical time with guess work. Time is a finite resource , let’s be strategic in its use. @mccartyann @AllysonApsey @CreativeLdrSol

What happens when AI meets high-impact teaching practices? Real-time feedback, sharper decisions, and stronger collaboration. This is how schools turn insight into action. Read the latest Research Wednesday and see what works - creativeleadership.net/putting-ai-to-…

When we are clear about the "what" & "why," Ss spend less energy guessing what Ts want & more energy engaging with content. Teacher Clarity has an effect size of 0.84 (JHattie)—nearly double other interventions—Clarity is key. ⁦@AllysonApsey⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@mccartyann⁩

Family & Community Engagement experts Dr. Alex Marrero, Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, and Dr. Washington B. Collado reveal how to move families from simple involvement to true empowerment — the real key to student success. creativeleadership.net/newsletter/

Grateful for a school year full of time with educators who are doing incredible work for students. They give me hope every day. Lately, as I have been working alongside leadership teams and teachers, I’ve been paying close attention to what’s making a difference. It keeps coming back to clarity, collective efficacy, and putting ideas into action in classrooms. I still have a few keynote openings ahead and would love to partner if your team is looking for something practical, energizing, and grounded in real work. If it would be helpful, reach out, and we can talk through what you need. @CreativeLdrSol @burgessdave @mccartyann @DouglasReeves

Wishing the happiest of days to all school principals! My years as a principal were some of the best. Now I’m blessed to support those in the role or seeking it. 💗 Being a principal is BIG work. Thank you to those willing to lead! 🏫 ⁦@CreativeLdrSol⁩ @KASAEdLeader ⁦
