#Leaders can't inspire, envision, or transform because our systems start with kids. This diminishes both #teachers and #leaders. This is why #mission is a joke in most schools. I'm a dog trainer on the hunt for #leaders of #THATSchool who heard #thedoggwhistle in this message.

Read it a couple of times to let it settle in.
Ability groups persist while we pretend to care about #equity. What students learn isn't based on what's in their bag but what's in YOUR (degreed professional, certified, expert) BAG. #StartWithTheCROWN #RuthlessEquity #atplc #THATSchool #atRTIaw #leadership #Teachers #k12

Read this!
All educators need to fully enjoy their holidays. Few people know tired like educators. Research found that teachers make more minute-by-minute decisions than brain surgeons, & if that's not tiring enough, remember the decisions are with a classroom full of students. Exhausting!

We all have a mess in our schools. Identify it. Accept it. Then do something about it. Never refer to the mess again as a reason why things are the way they are. Focus on the mission rather than focus on the mess. That's how things get better.

If you are a seasoned PBIS school in Cobb and looking for how to take it to the next step, ask me about RCD. You will not believe the difference.

Tier 1= T-he I-ntentional E-ducation R-equired 1-st Tier 1 must be designed & delivered at high levels 1st for the rest to work. Any other path just leads to less effectiveness and more work. The truth we must accept & then act upon.
