If you are worried about teacher retention, remember, if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. Few want to leave a winning team!

LEADERS!!! Starting your day WITH PURPOSE sets the tone for how you react TO THINGS YOU CAN’T CONTROL. Positive intention CREATES MOMENTUM for you AND those you connect with. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #HackingLeadership #1minwalk2work

Many people hesitate to share their work because they're uncomfortable promoting themselves. Sharing your art, writing, or invention isn't an act of self-promotion. It's an act of self-expression. If you don't put your ideas out in the world, no one else can benefit from them.

Every leader thinks they’re a good leader. We can’t assume that. We have to check in with our folks. We have to surround ourselves with peeps who will tell us the truth. We have to create the climate where others feel comfortable telling us things we might not want to hear.

When I made the choice to transition from a role as a teacher to a role in administration, I knew it was going to be a major adjustment. This message is spot on. Everything good that comes from our school district is happening in the classrooms with our teachers! @Kings_Schools
LEADERS!! When we let THE TOUGH THINGS that happened yesterday preclude us from seeing THE GREAT THINGS that happen today we get FURTHER from the REASON WE LOVE THE JOB and CLOSER to the REASON WE DON’T. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #ImpactTheNarrative #HackingLeadership
