"Don’t dim your light because someone else isn’t ready for you.
Keep going. And whatever you do, don’t become something you are not that doesn’t align with your belief system. You might get the job or opportunity you want, but the cost to yourself will never be worth it."

Principals, are you experiencing burnout? Time off won’t heal you this weekend if you don’t change the way you spend your time “on.” You’ll fall right back into the vicious cycle on Monday only to exhaust yourself once again…

Finally got a chance to read this. It's worth the read for policy-makers, building leadership (particularly in primary/elementary/middle grades), reading teachers, ELA teachers, English teachers, those considering the Science of Reading debates, and anyone involved in the specific reading skills of their academic disciplines.

Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.
Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.
When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.
KEEP. LEADING.

I’m a huge fan of @cultofpedagogy and this latest podcast is amazing! Reading is ‘both and’ not ‘either or’
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the topic of how we teach reading. My guests @JSerravallo and @KellyBCartwrig1 offer level-headed, nuanced insights about the teaching moves we need to build strong, confident readers.

Why should we encourage our children to read books? Why should we find time to read books? We see the world through another’s eyes.
