@KevOnStage I anticipated being in fire a lot more than I have been. When do I get to use my Stop Drop and Roll!!!

I spent a good amount of time in my early childhood worried about two things. 1. The Bermuda Triangle 2. Getting stuck in quicksand.

This evening I spent time doing a project for my teachers that made me feel good! Did I need to? NOPE. Was it a “good use of my time”? Maybe not. Should I have been “working” on a Friday night? No Sir. Will it be worth it when even 1 teacher or team is grateful? SURE WILL!

@AP_Daubs @WoodburnES @KatyRichman2 @FCPSR2 So proud of you friend! You’ve worked so hard for this and deserve it! Don’t forget about us 🩵

So excited to share that I will be continuing my work @WoodburnES as the new Assistant Principal! We have an amazing staff and I cannot wait to work alongside @KatyRichman2 this coming year. I will miss the #fcpsSBTS community but don’t worry, I know where to find you! @FCPSR2

The first barrier to learning we are breaking down this year is removing “categories” from our students. No more SPED, AAP, EL’s or Gen Ed. We are all GBW Pandas. Regardless of the supports we need to succeed!

Fun fact: if you tell kids they aren’t allowed to read certain things/books at school, they WILL find a way to get their hands on it and read it. If you leave it on the shelf, chances are they will ignore it…or read it anyways. Regardless, banning books doesn’t work.

staff going back today! May your meetings be short, the passion be invigorated, and your ice breakers be FEW!

Unpopular opinion: planning and pacing guides are SUGGESTED timelines and ways to teach. Teachers are the experts. Trust yourself and teach in a way you know your kids will learn. So take the time to BUILD THE RELATIONSHIPS. Trust me there is plenty of time for content.

This is the first building I have worked in that has an open door policy starting in August. Does it make you feel better to get a jump start of setting up your classroom? Awesome, come on in. Get it done and go enjoy the rest of your summer!

Team GREENbrair West is ready to shake it up this year! #StrongerTogether #studentsuccessabovetherest #PLCsinAction

How can we, as leaderships, build an effective, collective self efficacy among our staff to ensure high levels of student success?

“We must walk in the light and lift each other UP, even when it’s hard”

@mr_mattstewart @TheBearFX Agree with ALLLLLL of this! My goal this year is to get the Erb’a of the world to see their own impact and how their work effects others.

@MsQuigley_Tech @TheBearFX And for Ebra, I get it! I can empathize with his feeling of needing to walk away, feeling not enough, etc., despite how he may be letting some of his teammates down (his own projection) but finds that he is enough and is skilled and can be essential.

Morning Wake Up Thought: how can we, as coaches and leaders, challenge our staff to see the potential of a new school year, while still acknowledging that this profession is hard and not always positive??

@mr_mattstewart @TheBearFX I love this! But I challenge how we work with the “Erba’s” who would rather walk away then believe they are able to do it? AND what do we do with Richie while he is still in butthead mode! Haha

@MsQuigley_Tech Appreciate the importance of this question. My admin team and I are big fans of @TheBearFX and have drawn comparissons between teaching and working in a kitchen and we were really drawn to s2e7, where Richie struggles with his purpose and learns the lesson "time well spent"

@KateRietema Blueberry’s for Sam!!!

It’s blueberry season here in Michigan! What a good berry picture book?

Zero sleep last night as all the ideas of what our coaching team needs to accomplish today circled!

Move FEARLESSLY even when standing still is comfortable. @FCPSEquity #disruptwhatdoesntwork
