When I became a school admin, I made a personal commitment to never stop teaching. - I love being w/ the kids - I love supporting teachers - I don’t want to lose my touch in the classroom I was rusty today. And that’s ok. It reminded me I need to be in the trenches more often!

@CameronRoss3 @burgessdave Playing music helped some of my most ADHD students focus. It was amazing how well they could focus and get work completed with music!!

Inspired by @burgessdave "Teach Like a Pirate" I played some music in the background during class today, completely different feel and it provided Ss the chance to collaborate but also feel comfortable in their own learning space #tlap

Culture Building Tip: Admins, you can’t lead from your office. Get up and get out! Great leaders don’t tell you what to do. They exemplify it through their own actions. What you model is what you get. It starts with YOU. #multiplyexcellence

This is what makes schools great!! I know some of the best!!

A culture building tip: Make it a habit to notice what others are doing right.

My #oneword2021 is believe!

@DrBradJohnson I needed to hear this today! Thank you 🙏

Admin who feel overwhelmed, your staff doesn’t expect you to have all the answers or to be perfect. Just give your best, keep them informed & let them know you are all in this together. This gives them trust in you & appreciation for you. & Staff let them know you appreciate them

No one said it would be easy!

@aLeXxXx_14 Thank you!! ❤️❤️

@aLeXxXx_14 You’ve got this! Just remember to love on those kiddos. That’s what they need!

I wish I had the go get em attitude Elsa had when singing “Into The Unknown”, because teaching so far is a whole new unknown for 2020.

#selfcare is absolutely critical, especially in this time!
