Leaders in their development phase need supportive coaching and risk taking opportunities. Leaders who lead leaders need to be reflective and keen to build trust. We made sure to use books to guide our conversations. I’m super proud of all of the work they do for Brownsville!!

Communication High Expectations = Amazing Results. Superintendent Dr. Kirkland and team respond to questions about progress monitoring practices throughout the district. It’s important to know if your practices are producing positive outcomes for scholars. #kidswin
