When in doubt, just be kind and stay focused on the mission of educating all kids. The unkind (often noisier) people won’t like your consistency and resolve, but then again, they don’t share this same mission. The mission is what matters.

Our vision is only actionable if we share it. Without sharing, it's just a figment of our imagination.

Yesterday was a very special day as Commit launched a new six month fellowship for aspiring superintendent cabinet members. The Commit to Outcomes Fellowship has connected me to a new crop of young leaders who are committed to advancing outcomes in their Dallas County districts!

That's fantastic! Dallas County is truly on the rise. Let's keep this momentum going!

We were proud today to launch Commit to Outcomes, our fellowship for high potential public K-12 central office leaders. Our Superintendent in Residence @3jstone led this outstanding group of Dallas County professionals dedicated to meaningfully advancing student outcomes.
