A reminder why I avoid flying @AmericanAir whenever possible. Already lost 24 hours because the flight was cancelled yesterday with no rebook option. And now, we have turned around mid air due to a maintance problem and sit here at @DFWAirport while they “change a tire” 😳😠😤

Counselors do so much for students and staff in the building. They are patient, kind, poised, and compassionate. They shoulder more grief, pain, and dysfunction than most of us can imagine, and they are invaluable to our schools. They deserve our recognition and respect.

The foundation of every healthy school culture is and always will be based on the quality of the relationships between students and staff and staff and staff. #Culturize

All across the country, schools are using the TFI to check in on their initial PBIS efforts, create action plans for improvement, & monitor their progress over time. If your team is new to this or could use a refresher, our TFI video series can help: bit.ly/3nUtxNy

If you want your team to serve, serve them. If you want your people to care, care about them. If you want your team to love their work, love them. If you want your employees to be their best, give them your best.

If you want an assessment of your school culture, simply look at how people behave. If we say we believe in treating students & staff w/respect, kindness, dignity, grace & w/compassion, then let's remind each other when we don't so we can be who we say we want to be. #Culturize

If you didn’t watch this last night- watch it now. So much courage in this young lady- but it left me with so much heartbreak and grief. My state has failed these kids once again. Demand better. No child deserves this pain and abuse. CA and Riverside County- make this right!
Tonight — hope you’ll join us for the first time any of the 13 Turpin children tell their stories. We’ve waited four years to hear about their lives. I was amazed by the two young women I met. They are beacons who created their own light in darkness. 9pm on @ABC2020 @ABC @hulu
