Hey principal, are there classrooms in your school with behavior charts hanging, publicly displaying every student’s status? If the answer is yes, remove them. They are detrimental to a school’s culture, and jeopardize psychological safety within individual students. – at Arkansas, USA

Remember that even when you are conducting an interview - you are sending a message about what your school is all about. This is an important time to “carry the banner” as @casas_jimmy would say. #elementaryprincipal #leadership #shareyourstory

Unpopular opinion but I’ll share it anyway: principals have been amazing this schoolyear. Thankless job. Angry parents. Constantly changing directives from politicians. Staff feeling beat down. Kids in crisis. And they showed up amid the chaos and did their best.

Withholding feedback is choosing comfort over growth. Staying silent deprives people of the opportunity to learn. If you're worried about hurting their feelings, it's a sign that you haven't earned their trust. In healthy relationships, honesty is an expression of care.

A1: Encourage teaming & discussion with each other. Creative ideas do not need to come from leaders for them to be valuable and valid. After all, faculty are the ones with the front seat. #AppleEDULeaderChat

Teacher shortage is a looming crisis: Teachers are the life blood of our nations schools. We need to do a better job of taking care of the people who take care of our kids. #edchat #FridayThoughts
