Marvin D. Rainey, Ed.D

I am the founder of B.E.S.T. Fraternity which is social organization for at-risk elementary aged males! I run a year-long soft skills, leadership development competition which is funded strictly by donations! We started with 200+ in the competition and now down to the Top 7‼️

There’s no professional community like Leverage Leadership Institute (LLI)! Thank you Paul Bambrick Santoyo for always thinking about me! Can’t wait to dive in!

The thing I love about NIET is it doesn’t matter how long you have utilized their structures, the new learning at any conference/institute is fresh and relevant enough to propel where you are currently with the work! Thank you for filling my bucket this week! #niet2025

This first session at NIET Summer Institute was 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Thank you, Dr. Angela Davis for always pushing my thinking forward! #NIET2025

You know you love the work when you don’t mind giving up your spring break to go train leaders and teachers 2000 miles away! The new learning I was able to engage Orange Public Schools in all week was 🔥❤️‍🔥🔥‼️#expertisematters

“Teachers don’t leave schools, they leave principals!” -Dr. Cade Brumley- #NIET2025

My 2nd Quarter Learning Focus for my leaders and teachers has been Aggressively Monitoring LEARNING. I’ve had an awesome time facilitating learning for them this nine weeks!

I thoroughly enjoy bringing all these young men from 12 different campuses to hang out with me each nine weeks! Our BEST Shake competition started with over 200 scholars in Oct. Now we are at the TOP 25! I’m so proud of these young men!

@CrecArtsMiddle1 Love this‼️😍😍

Standards walls are posted in every classroom in our school.

This week has been all about BUILDING LEADERS’ CAPACITY! I love when my leaders request/sign up for ILT support! This week I was able to deepened their teams’ understanding of what PLANNING for LEARNING looks like through a STANDARD-BASED APPROACH!

Building leaders’ instructional capacity through reflective conversations after observing teaching and learning!

Thoroughly enjoyed building my leaders capacity this week through the learning walk process! The debriefs were 🔥🔥🔥‼️ Growing teachers and leaders at the same time so they can grow students!

@DonyallD Happy Birthday, Doc❣️🎂 🎉🎁

On this day, 51 years ago. — I burst into the world not knowing that I’d have the opportunity to support millions of children from tough situations, just like me! So as I celebrate another trip around the sun, here’s to purpose and passion! 🥂🥂🥂 #DrDickeysBDay #DrDickeyTurns51

The MAGIC starts with the Instructional Leadership Team! It felt awesome facilitating learning for one of our high schools’ ILT! They walked away inspired to grow teachers and students this school year!

I love coaching leaders! My principal wanted to practice her opening PD for her staff and receive feedback in order to strengthen it by August 5th.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching ADULTS ‼️Spent my morning yesterday hanging out with our CTA Cohort 10 and deepening their understanding of the Louisiana Educator Rubric! We had a GOOD TIME❣️ #WeAreCaddo

@MarlinSecondary @DrHenson2 @MarlinISDTX Happy Birthday, Doc‼️🎉🎉🎉
