@mrshowell24 I am doing this only with our teacher leaders. As the instructional coach I want to highlight them and show them they are valued while communicating to the rest of the staff their roles.

Here is an awesome back-to-school activity called "Meet Our Crew" that's perfect for welcoming new students. They can make videos to introduce themselves and see who's in their class. It's a magical way to start the year off right. buff.ly/3xB6krD

@PrincipalProj @LearningForward It is a balance of all three & when you learn the fine dance and when to show up as each is the sweet spot! It takes time though!

When you approach instructional coaching, do you think of yourself more as a consultant, collaborator or reflective thinker? Or do you move between these three modes? (Via @LearningForward)

We all have things about us that might surprise others.

@aliciaparker01 @DrParkerL I loved my year in the 23-24 Teacher Leader Cohort. I have two colleagues headed into that next year and my AP will be in the Aspiring Principals Cohort!

Can’t wait to embark upon this journey with @DrParkerL. I’ve waited a long time to both work and learn along side my sister and GSLA is giving me that opportunity. Congratulations to the 24-25 cohort!!!

⁦@CatFlippen⁩ 9 years ago today! Seems like a different lifetime ago!

@dramatickat I’m right there with you.

Help! Anyone else want to join my school supplies support group?? It is a real problem! Also, yes I bought these.

@MarcusLuther6 As a secondary instructional coach I belief many teachers put much thought into openings but lose their bang for the buck by not having strong closings. It’s quite common to hear it is class change time, let’s pack up - with no closing as all.

Carmen, Waldo, & Jaime- Where oh Where are they? Want to know why I was MIA in 2023 and much of 2024? jaimevandergrift.com/f/carmen-waldo…

@mrshowell24 A few years ago I had to let them go. I had such a collection & was in purge model.

Every lanyard tells a story. 🌟 These badges are reminders of the amazing people I've met, the knowledge I've gained, and the incredible experiences I've had.

What a difference a year makes. Professionally, not much, but man have I come a long way in growing & kicking BC’s butt. Last year’s pic was hairless & with a nice moon face thanks to steroids, but today while not out of it all yet, I have so much to be grateful for.

Loved presenting at this once again! We do in fact have some amazing teachers!

What an 🎉 ending to a great year in the @GSLA_Georgia 23-24 Teacher Leader Cohort! I ❤️ having Nancy Turner from @Griffin_RESA & #GSLA as my coach. Congrats to my amazing colleagues who will represent @fcboe in the 24-25 cohort! I also presented on our @FRMSEagles T’ Leadership!
