I love working in a school with these kids that want to be Principal for an Hour. They set a goal and used earned points to spend time with me. #blessedprincipal #humbled #leadership

Get out and vote! @Molly_Spearman reminds us to make our vote count in the run off for the State Superintendent of Education. #getoutandvote #scasai3

How to build a successful team? -Trust -Assume the most generous explanation -Check in with our people. @mwbuckingham 3 great reminders! #scasai3 #transformationalleader

Choice leads to choosing. Choosing leads to seeing what people chose. You can’t love what you can’t see. Give people choice and you can see them for who they are and build relationships. The most effective leaders give choice. @mwbuckingham #scasai3

We wrap our kids in tinfoil to protect them, but all we see when we look at them is a reflection of us. Give them choice to all them to learn and grow. @mwbuckingham #scasai3 #trust

All of our work we do is done in teams. Find our red threads and help people flourish in those team settings. @mwbuckingham #SCASAi3

Want to love your job? Love is in the details. Ask yourself weekly what you loved and what you loathed so you can find ways to incorporate more of what you love and create your joy. @mwbuckingham #scasai3 #joyfulLeaders

Look through everything with “lens of love” and see things differently. Your areas of strengths are your areas of opportunity. Lean into and invest time in those-red threads. @mwbuckingham #scasai3

Your strengths are your areas of opportunity and growth! @mwbuckingham #SCASAi3

“You don’t need to be a full quilt. You only need to be 20% of it. Your team is the quilt. They need your red threads!” @MWBuckingham #SCASAi3 #20Percent

Three signs of loving an activity - 1. You look forward to it 2. Time speeds up (in a zone!) 3. When you are done with it, you are invigorated - not drained These three may not always perfectly align, but you need to love 20% of your activities each day @mwbuckingham #scasai3

When you do something you love, times flies by. A nine year gets it - why don’t we as adults? @mwbuckingham #SCASAi3

@rgregory331 How does this change our mindset about teacher recruitment and retention?

What if every administrator approached every “problem” as an opportunity with this mindset? Maximum possibilities. #transformationalleader #scasai3

Successful people find love in what they do. @mwbuckingham Simple, yet powerful reminder. #SCASAi3 #TakeYourLoveSsriously

We have two hard working and committed assistant principals @OPESEaglePride. I am grateful for their leadership in our school. #AssistantPrincipalsWeek #teamwork @OrchardParkAP @meg_mallery

@MrsDcounselor I mean ever bit of it! I see your hard work serving our school and students. I really appreciate what you are doing.

It’s the little things. My principal made copies for me today, got my lamination cut out for me, gave me a fist bump and said, “I appreciate you!” When you are valued, it makes the hard days not seem so hard. @OPESPrincipal #thankful

Such a great joy coming into families homes to share a bedtime story before school begins Monday! #opeseaglepride #bedtimestory #AllAreWelcomeHere @FortMillSD

@ChandlerNaFo Welcome to @FortMillSD! I look forward to leading and serving alongside you in this wonderful district. #welcome

1st official day…I’m excited to join the Nation Ford family!

I’m excited to have Mrs. Mallery join our admin team next year! #leadership #dreamteam
