Excited to learn from @leeannjung as she joins @CRSCHOOLS admin in our summer learning as we strive to empower, engage, and include so we can cultivate pathways for ALL!
One of the best ways to give ownership is to make data visible! Own your learning, know your kids, set the bar.

No one shows up to a place 180+ times to be miserable. Period. #THATSchool #StartWithTheCROWN #RuthlessEquity #Equity #atplc #TeachTimmy #PLC #RTIAW
This year was probably the toughest year I have faced as a school administrator. Yes, tougher than the pandemic, tougher than a natural disaster (faced both in 2020). But I didn't quit on my staff, our students, my family, or myself- and I am coming back for more. #LearnLoveLead
Books with multiracial characters have clear value to students who share these identities, but it is important for all readers to see depictions of diverse populations. kappanonline.org/multiracial… #edchat #Literature #learning
While it’s not a new title, I’m always looking for titles to add to build my understanding and grow as a leader. I’ve got another book arriving later this week. Still love the feeling of a book in my hand.

Every superintendent and school board member should read this article. A decade of toughening teacher evaluations and tying it to standardized tests have shown no positive impact on student learning. It has only decreased morale. Stop the madness.

It's back-to-school time! Do you know when it is safe and legal to pass a stopped school bus with its gate arm extended and lights flashing?
Also, be alert for
🚸 children crossing the street
🚲 pedestrians & cyclists
🦺 crossing guards
🎒 school zones
Although we know from research, especially @john_hattie, that student development (yep…Piaget) has one of the highest effect sizes, we continue to erode play from the younger grades and replace it with sitting. Joyful learning- movement, choice, safety, collaboration!

Learning about how we can make some changes to teacher feedback to support instructional growth with @marioacosta31 at @HRSInstitute @MarzanoResource Why? Because teachers deserve systems and structures that support their growth! #hrsinstitute
Loving the idea of teachers sharing their instructional growth goals with their students to model continuous learning and development. If we want our kids to be lifelong learners, let’s model that we all have things to work on. #hrsinstitute
How often are teachers asked to set a growth goal in August and then little to nothing is done to help teachers develop in the areas and skills that they’re vulnerable enough to admit they’re wanting to grow? Job embedded PL, coaching, & feedback are non-negotiable #hrsinstitute
The data doesn’t lie- teachers are the most critical factor in the classroom and have the single greatest impact on student learning. Our teachers do some of the toughest work and deserve ALL the respect and support they can get! #hrsinstitute @MarzanoResource
Excited to learn with colleagues at the @MarzanoResource High Reliability Schools Institute! How nice to be at a conference and learning together! @HRSInstitute
I wasn't anticipating subbing today. But I am glad that I am. If there's one thing that keeps me grounded as a principal, it's the chance to be with children for the day to really keep in perspective all that our teachers do each day to make magic happen. #teachersmatter
