“Great schools are not just led by the administration; they are led by teachers too. In great schools everyone owns the vision...and everyone is on a mission.” #EssentialTruths @SteeleThoughts @ToddWhitaker

@jasonrbroussard and I had the chance to join @mpalk and @terabrooks7 faculty meeting to see how they were habit stacking! Melissa truly transferred learning to other Ls in @PCSSTN! It was clear who owned the work/how voices were brought to the table. @anthonx you need to see it!

🗣Shout out to every teacher, administrator & school staff member, that will finally have a moment to breathe & REST during Fall Break. What was accomplished in 9 weeks (during a pandemic) was incredible. This is another example of how educators are real life SUPERHEROES‼️🦸🏽‍♀️ 🦸‍♂️ – at Memphis, TN

Leadership is not a rank or a position to be attained. Leadership is a service to be given.

I don’t know what will happen this fall when schools across the US should be opening, but I do know that worrying about it will not change anything. Try your best to enjoy your summer break when it comes and focus on your mental health.

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week and this year it will look a little different. Help us show how appreciated our NES teachers are by using these suggestions each day to make them feel extra special. We have some very special teachers at NES and they desire all the feels!

4 things you must do if you want an exceptional culture: 1️⃣ You must live it. 2️⃣ You must communicate it. 3️⃣ You must teach it. 4️⃣ You must fight for it.

Are you building happiness through your wellness routines? When you are at your happiest you can be your best for your students. Nobody enjoys a grumpy teacher or co-worker. Move your body and start smiling. #teacherFit

Literacy is the foundation for a student’s educational journey, and we must get back on track before the critical third-grade milestone. Tonight, we're recommending a new, comprehensive approach to literacy and setting clear standards for the training of our teachers. #TNSOTS

As promised to @PCSSTN friends, @JaredMyracle's fab piece: "The Ed. field is notorious for giving up when the results aren’t immediate. But we should stick it out on this one and listen to the research on reading instruction. The rewards will come." edweek.org/ew/articles/2019/…
