Lifelong learners recognize & appreciate just how much they don’t know & have yet to learn. They listen first, ask genuine questions, & seek to understand. Curiosity replaces assumptions. Humility replaces arrogance. Throughout your journey, never lose your identity as a learner.

I'm excited to be part of @srebeducation's Making Schools Work Conference again this year. I have the honor of presenting alongside Dr. Jeannette Tippett. We'd love to have you join one of our sessions - hope to see you there! #SREBsummer

Incredible Leadership Lessons on hiring/support via @YellowTuxJesse & @TheSavBananas. - We’re not interested in what you did in the past, we want to know what you want to do in the future. - Dogs are trained, humans are coached, mentored and educated. instagram.com/reel/C7wxyvHs9…

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! Teachers, Thank you! Your dedication, hard work, & expertise matter. You matter! Don’t ever doubt your impact. As a colleague, I stand in awe. As a parent, I’m so incredibly grateful. Keep doing great things & making the world a better place.

Really enjoyed @anthony_goad’s session on productive professional learning structures at @NSTA’s #NSTASpring24 conference. We have too much research on quality PL elements to not thoughtfully and strategically design cohesive professional learning experiences.

Such an inspiring & motivating keynote from @MarkRober at @NSTA’s #NSTASpring24 conference. This quote so resonated with me! “It’s that science moment when what we thought would happen doesn’t.”

@KCSScience @nselascience @NSTA @RCS_STEM @RCS_HS_Science @trudy__rogers @Rhoades4Science It’s an honor to get to learn from and alongside these great leaders!

One of the best parts of @nselascience conference @NSTA is networking with other amazing leaders and learning from them. Love these peeps, old and new friends! @RCS_STEM @RCS_HS_Science @trudy__rogers @JRParris72 @Rhoades4Science

As leaders, let’s keep our work focused on what matters most and avoid the temptation to add unnecessary tasks/projects that ultimately dilute that focus. Let’s look beyond availability and also consider compacity. See my reflections in the post below. linkedin.com/posts/jrparris…

I’ve been thinking more about how we use the word “lift” in our work. The reality is that “lift” implies effort. A lift is a lift and is rarely just light or heavy but always relative and contextual. See my further thoughts in the link below. linkedin.com/posts/jrparris…

Giving a huge shout out to my oldest daughter, Ella Parris. She co-presented at her first conference this weekend! And, it was on one of my most favorite topics - Feedback. Positioning feedback as fuel to ignite success is such a powerful stance. linkedin.com/posts/jrparris…

“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” - Albert Einstein As leaders, let’s normalize a safe culture to share & analyze problems instead of always jumping to solutions. linkedin.com/posts/jrparris…

@TheDrHumphreys Congratulations, Dr. Humphreys!!!!!!!

I have officially completed my PhD!! I want to thank everyone who took part in my ancient Greek language study & share my results which shed light on the differences between CLT & GTM for anyone who might be interested! ⬇️ #AncientGreek #Koine #Greek #Language #Learning #PhD

LEADERS DON'T NEED TO... 1. Stand up front. 2. Pretend they know when they don’t. 3. Talk first, most, and longest. 4. Cling to authority. 5. Fix all the problems. 6. Be right all the time. 7. Make all the decisions.

For decades, science has been undervalued across the K–5 grades. A new ✨On the Same Wavelength✨ blog by @WestEd's Christopher Harris and Mingyu Feng describes recent research on integrating #literacy and #science learning in elementary classrooms. ngs.wested.org/science_and_li…

Would you want to spend the whole day learning in your own classroom? #SmithtownSCD

Leadership Actions That Build Organizational Trust. 1. Intentionally Cultivate & Fiercely Protect Psychological Safety. The moment we feel unsafe is the moment we quit taking risks and go inward. I find myself revisiting this article regularly. hbr.org/2017/08/high-p…

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about specific actions help build trust in an organization or team. I’m still reflecting on it, but wanted to put my initial thoughts out there. I’ll add context to each as I continue my contemplation on these four ideas. What would you add?

It was an honor to get to work with the #HCS_Coaches today as we worked to hone our feedback delivery. Over the years of my focused work in this area, I’m growing into a core set of principles that drive my feedback interactions. Which one resonates with you? What would you add?
