Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A π§΅

Thursday is our PLT time. We started the day with special areas & @LoschRachel presenting her project while the team gave feedback using the Hess Matrix. Then we moved through all the grade levels creating assessments aligned to standards. #intentional #allmeansall @SolutionTree

I start the day with 6 post-it notes on my desk. Before I leave each day, I hold myself accountable for writing 6 specific notes of gratitude to people.
This practice helps me look for the good. We will see what we look for.
Remember that.

My best #summerselfie with the one and only @ToddWhitaker at #kasa2022. @Katie_here1986, @Samples_ELA and I laughed and learned so much about what great leaders do differently! #dolphindaysofsummer @DixieMagnet

Such a fun morning presenting with @Samples_ELA! Loved getting to learn and chat with so many WoFoCo educators about the importance of positive relationships in our schools. #lovethemfirst

You can't administrate a school to excellence, but you can lead a school to excellence.

Four ways to be a good colleague:
1) Give the adults around you the benefit of the doubt.
2) Focus on solutions rather than dwelling on negativity.
3) Model a relentless commitment to doing right by kids.
4) Be willing to stand in the gap when your colleague needs help.

A school is pretty unstoppable when admin and teachers work to be on the same team.
Plus, it just feels right.

The purpose of childhood is to play! We are increasing academics too early and expecting it too often along with filling up schedules and kids are left with no time for unstructured play. Important article- Why Play Needs A Comeback kqed.org/mindshift/54326/chiβ¦

There would be no adult literature without children's literature.
No books at all without children's books! They're the ones that start our lifelong adventures in reading β the books we love when we're young, and the people who help us to find them. #literacy
