@j5train Lol I wasn’t with you this morning how do you know I was grumpy 😊#HoughStrong

As I reflect on those I serve under my leadership I must always keep in my mind...everyone wants to grow and improve. Am I providing them opportunities to do so? Are they better now that they’ve been working with me as a leader? #purplecows #booksnaps

Don’t ever ask students or staff to do something you’re not willing to do yourself. Embrace vulnerability! Don’t ever forget that feeling of not knowing how to do something. Ss feel that all the time. Support that vulnerability ❤️#Culturize

Accountability means relentlessly seeking ownership of mistakes missteps problems and other less than best outcome you’re either responsible for or associated with. It’s an acknowledgment of a mistake. Find a solution and resolution. #SundaySpark #BeTheSpark #warriorstrong

Sparks who demonstrate accountability resist the powerful human instinct to place blame elsewhere.#BeTheSpark #SundaySparks #warriorSTRONG

Great educators remember that students are always watching and learning from your actions. How you greet people daily, how you respond to others, how you approach your profession.

A4: Don't be the lid. When a student or staff member comes to you w/an idea, let's make sure they walk away more excited about their idea than they were before they presented it to you. Don't kill their dreams. #NISDedchat

You don’t need to be a manager to create the conditions for initiative to happen. Encourage leaders to share the “what” (vision)that needs to happen and then leave the “how”up to the team members. #SundaySparks #BeTheSpark #warriorstrong

If you want people to be less anxious, provide more clarity. How often do you ask yourself if you provided clear direction when your staff or students failed to meet the expectation? #Culturize @casas_jimmy

#ThoughtForTheDay What other profession besides teaching do we know that can do 12 months of work in 9 months? Teachers shouldn’t feel guilty for the breaks they get during the holidays/summer months. They need this time away to recharge so they can be at their best... #Culturize

Leaders develop a clear vision and work to make choices consistent with it. #SundaySparks #BeTheSpark #warriorstrong

We get what we model. How are we interacting with our students? Have we analyzed our behavior referrals to see what was the root cause of the referral? #Culturize #culturebuilders @casas_jimmy

To be a Spark, you must not only know what’s expected of you but you must always perform to the level of excellence that you would demand from yourself and others against all the standards that have been set for you. #SundaySparks #BeTheSpark #warriorstrong

A3: Everywhere we turn we are confronted w/some form of average. Hence why we sometimes fall back. Average is impatient, rigid, unkind, resentful & sometimes filled w/jealousy. Don’t allow others to take away your excellence. #liveyourexcellence #PWCSBuildingBridges

#ThoughtForTheDay When your focus is on everything you actually are focused on nothing. Pick one personal & one professional thing that you will focus on this week & then commit to not only want to do better, but be better. #culturize

Leaders and teachers should not only see the best in all kids but we all must expect the best from all kids. Overcoming adversity is important but lessening the standards for those in need will not prepare them for life. #Culturize #ExpectExcellence
