That moment when both of your Assistant Principals receive their formal acceptance into the principal preparation program during a visit from the chief of schools! What an accomplished day at Buchanan Middle! @RickGrayes @HCPSLeaders @HillsboroughSch

I love my school!

@unfoldthesoul @unfoldthesoul you were speaking all facts! Thank you for the work that you do!

I’m digging the voiceover… :-). @JamalCrook #StartWithTheCROWN #RuthlessEquity #Equity #atplc #THATSchool #atRTIaw #leadership #Teachers #k12 #TeachTimmy

Last week, I helped facilitate our summer Principal PLC, focusing on High Reliability Schools' component one and establishing ongoing peer feedback support. Recognizing the importance of collective efficacy among principals and teachers. #startwiththecrown @unfoldthesoul

@ASCD conference was amazing. I had a wonderful time with the leadership team learning! As you can see we had a good time!

Leaders who operate from a place of gratitude see the potential in the most unfavorable circumstances. Here are 5 underrated aspects of mental toughness that can help us do the same: 1. Having a great attitude 2. Treating people really well 3. Doing your best 4. Operating from a place of gratitude 5. Doing all of these things despite the circumstances. By embodying these five aspects of mental toughness, we can cultivate a positive and resilient mindset, even in the face of adversity. Remember, mental toughness isn't just about pushing through challenges, it's about doing so with grace and gratitude. #MentalToughness #Leadership #Gratitude

What makes a good leader? It's a question that can elicit many different answers depending on who you ask. The truth is, when it comes to leadership, people just know it when they see it. Whether it's the way they inspire and motivate their team or their ability to make tough decisions, good leadership is something that's hard to define but easy to recognize. So what does leadership mean to you? Let's start a conversation in the comments. #leadership #management #teamwork

Please join us. Thank you.

One of our priorities is to bridge the gap between the school and the community! Here is an example of what it looks like at Buchanan. #moerthanenough #builtforgrratness #bettertogether

Core values and expectations within an organization help leaders navigate the conditions of the heart, whereas rules mainly provide principles for a system and impact the intellect. As leaders, we often attempt to impact the hearts of the people we lead through their minds, which often leads to mixed results. Connecting with the heart impacts who we are, while connecting with the mind impacts how we do things. #builtforgreatness #leadership

Great things are happening at Buchanan!

As leaders, we must be prepared to endure some level of dislike and criticism. According to Kirby Smart, the cost of leadership includes three things. But we must be willing to pay this price in order to propel our organization forward. Let us find the courage to lead with conviction and stay focused on our goals. 1. "Have to make hard decisions that'll negatively affect people you care about... 2. Be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most... 3. Be misunderstood and not always have the opportunity to defend yourself." ~ Kirby Smart

Plans are important, but they are not enough to achieve great success. What sets great teams apart is their ability to implement and maintain systems that drive them towards their goals with unwavering momentum and purpose. #builtforgreatness #leadership

@ShutlerZachary and I talk about the importance of a PLN. #BetterTogether #morethanenough #builtforgreatness

@ShutlerZachary its always a pleasure!

Our attitude and mindset as leaders are crucial in setting the tone for our organization's culture and vision. Overcoming mental barriers is essential for success, and cultivating mental toughness within ourselves can help us make significant progress. #BetterTogether #growth
