Five weeks into my Assistant Principalship, and I’m learning, growing & gaining a deeper appreciation for school leadership each day. Blessed to serve the Hapeville Hawks alongside @DrCSLPadgett and an amazing administrative team, faculty & staff! 🦅💙

Characteristics of a coach are active listening and trustworthiness. Success looks like helping others achieve their goals, fostering collaboration, and continuously improving my own leadership skills. @paigekalexander @TashaHarp7 @crysricks @FCSPLLD

Coaching is at its best when it is collaborative, not authoritative. The work is not about having all the answer, it is about building trust. Success means teachers feel supported and students benefit from the work. @paigekalexander @TashaHarp7 @crysricks @FCSPLLD
