Many admin are stressed out & having sleepless nights. Just give your best & let your staff know you are all in this together. They donโt care if you donโt have all the answers or youโre not perfect. They actually prefer your support and encouragement now as much as anything.

I highly recommend this beautiful podcast where you get to hear the insights, courage and determination of John Lewis. So many powerful takeaways. Worth making time to listen & learn! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcasโฆ

Leaders donโt always have the answers... but they can always demonstrate compassion. They probably canโt fix every problem... but they can always show support. They might not have the expertise... but they can always collaborate with those who do.

Playgrounds, not desks are children's classroom! Don't deprive children of their natural learning environment this fall. Include recesses, extended lunch, 5-10 minute blocks in class if you aren't allowed recess. Adapt schedules for kids. They need it! Whatever it takes!

#ThoughtForTheDay Itโs often been said how u start matters the most b/c it sets the tone. Other times Iโve heard itโs how u end because that determines your results. I believe that what happens in between the start/finish is just as important b/c it builds resiliency. #Culturize

Students remember some of their teachers. They remember the ones who cared, the ones who were silly, the ones who tried to connect with students, the ones who always seemed to love their job. EVERY teacher has the opportunity to be memorable.

25 years from now, there will be adults who share your name. They will remember youโฆ and they will tell somebody about the difference you made for them. You will be that teacher who made an impact. But right nowโฆ theyโre still kids. And you have no idea who they are.

As a leader your job is to serve, not be served. Your team needs to know you care. Serve their heart. Your team needs to improve. Serve their talent. Your team struggles with doubt. Serve their mind and spirit. Your team has potential. Serve their growth.

Great leadership is really a transfer of belief. Great leaders share their belief, vision, purpose and passion with others and in the process they inspire others to believe, act and impact. Great leaders are positively contagious and they instill confidence and belief in others.
