In 2005, I interviewed for a teacher job at Waterloo. Unfortunately, I didn't do well & didn't get it. 19 years later, I'm back at Waterloo but this time as principal! We always end up where we're supposed to be, even if it takes some time ❤️ Happy first day of school @HCPSS!

Belonging is built in everyday interactions! ❤️ I was honored to speak at the TLC Conference about finding joy in our service to staff, students and families! Keep showing up, sharing your gifts, and making a positive difference every day! ✨ @jimknight99 @CoachingPD

What an incredible first day of the TLC Conference! The energy was outstanding! Thank you @jimknight99 @engage_learning & @CoachingPD for having me as your keynote speaker! I loved connecting with so many educators on a topic I am truly passionate about...our students! ❤️

Incredibly excited to share a keynote this morning at the TLC Conference! I can't wait to share ways that we can support the development of our students through positive relationships & creating a warm & welcoming learning environment! I'm ready! Let's go! 💛 @jimknight99

My first day in Dallas was extra special because of my friend @KGameroz ! Lots of laughs & shenanigans ✨️ I found the perfect pumpkin to match my new cowboy hat! #Texas #fall #fun

As I prepare to share a keynote at the Teaching, Leading, Coaching Conference in this week, check out this coaching conversation with Jim Knight! We were thrilled to sit down for this engaging leadership discussion! We hope you enjoy it! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… @jimknight99

We've been sharing our childhood pictures with our students & staff, so I want to share mine with you! Here I am in 4th grade! I was excited to my own “trading cards” 😂 I have so many great memories playing soccer with my friends! I guess those were the good old days! @HCPSS

I've been on the #FETC stage as a featured speaker, and I love this conference because the learning, coupled with amazing people to connect with, is incredible! For 10% off your registration, use code: DEDOHOEKET10 conferences.fetc.org/fetc-20… Let's go! @nationalfetc @JenWomble

Every day is a new opportunity to connect with a child! When Pre-K students invite you to play Ring around the Rosy, you drop everything you planned to do & immediately join the game! So fun! This is the joy of the principalship! Happy National Principals Month! @ISTE_ASCD

As a former collegiate athlete, I was used to pushing through exhaustion but during my 2nd year as principal, burnout nearly made me resign. My Oct blog explores how to recognize burnout and 3 shifts to protect your wellbeing. redoctorate.wixsite.com/refl… Please share! TY @NAESP

If you want to hear a fun conversation I encourage you to eat lunch with students in the cafeteria! This is one of my favorite pictures from the Superintendent's visit! He jumped right into the fun & remembered what it's like to teach! This is where the magic happens! @HCPSS

When it's a record setting 88° day in October, you wear your matching pink dresses to school and walk into class to surprise some very excited 2nd grade students! The little things bring the most joy! Absolutely hilarious 😂 @hcpss #twinning

Today is the DAY! I’m thrilled to keynote for the National Family Engagement Summit! We’re talking technology, family engagement, & what matters most...RELATIONSHIPS! I’m bringing the energy, the FACE Framework, and lots of practical ideas to share! Let’s do this! @nfesummit

We are thankful to our superintendent for coming to visit our school! He instantly became the coolest person in the building once students learned that he can decide to close school for snow days! I have a feeling that many kids want to become a superintendent now! @HCPSS
