Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others. Leaders who value their people empower them!

It is wonderful when people in your professional learning feel connected to and value what you say and share. Great reflections from the team at Laurel Mountain Elementary, where we examined at the PRINCIPLES OF CONCEPTUAL PLANNING. #conceptsinaction #conceptualinquiry

When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers. Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy. Free play is a key to happiness and growth.

This resonates so hard: The constant state of urgency can create confusion on the difference between something that is an actual crisis & something that is important at the given moment. @conniehamilton @Supt_Jones @tjvari #7mindshiftsforschoolleaders
