Grateful for H.O.T. Conversations with School Leaders w/host Matt Mason.
I shared a memorable moment that occurred on Halloween when a principal set me straight!
It wasn't the "treat" I wanted, but it was exactly what I needed.

🎯Wednesday Wisdom - Mission Keeper Notes🗒✏️
My former deputy superintendents shared the "Mission Keeper" note idea to use when our central office team visited schools. Great for Principals and APs too. #leadership #Principal #gratitude #assistantprincipal

Have you ever:
😣 Struggled to hold staff accountable
🙄 Faced team confusion about tasks
🤔 Wondered if your staff have the skills needed
It may be time to assess your CLARITY as a leader.
🎯Clarity builds confidence. Confidence builds trust. Trust builds results.

As Kindergarteners begin school, remember that we’re not just supporting kids, we’re supporting their parents, too. Their resilience deserves recognition.
Let’s honor their journey by walking side-by-side with them in this new chapter of their child's life.

The most important thing to get ready in your room…IS YOU! Kids are going to walk in and see their name and know if they are supposed to be in that room. Then they’ll look at you…and know if THEY BELONG. Just got to take care of each other. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work

School Leaders,
As you welcome new teachers through your New Teacher Orientation, make sure you're not only equipping them with what they need to get started, but also creating a school culture where they are supported, valued and excited to stay for the long haul. #leadership
