A3: @BreneBrown is pretty much the only podcast I listen to right now. I’ll spot in to a few other random, but she is a must! #LeadLAP

A1: TBH, I have not made time to read the past 18 months; work & life so that sometimes. I have 2 of my faves sitting on desk all the time tho:
1) The Five Languages of Appreciation @ Work: that’s right, Acts, Words, Touch, Time, & Gifts & how to use
2) New Testament #LeadLAP

A4: Bourbon 🥃😬. Oh wait, that’s probably the wrong answer….
I set aside 20 minutes twice a day for devotional focus. Usually before work & after work, but sometimes I have to shut my door in the middle 🙏😳 #LeadLAP

A3: The 2 email rule. If the details aren’t clear in 2 emails, I go talk to the person.
2) 4 email rule. I only get to send 4 emails to staff groups/ week. This makes me think about ways to communicate well & effectively.
AND 7pm rule. I don’t check or send after 7. #LeadLAP

A2) We added 3 things to our BOE meeting agendas:
1) Curriculum Corner- T & S share their work to BOE.
2) Data Dive- Schools share the data we have, good or bad.
3) Staff Shout-Outs- recognizing our staff monthly.
Beyond this I do a regular 6 Minutes w/ Swayne video #LeadLAP

Just a note, remember I’m at the Supt level so I am trying to make this happen on a really big level.

A1: This is often difficult because everyone in the culture has to buy in. We do our best to simply advocate for & celebrate RISK TAKING. I love it when staff step out to risk something & we celebrate no matter outcome #LeadLAP

Quote of the week that if value some reflections on:
T: “What about the kids who are here to learn & want to?”
Me: “You presume that the kiddo w/ bad behavior doesn’t. They want to learn too, they don’t know how”

This Supt is in the hallways this morning showing support for staff. I did some pullout 3rd grade math, managed to head off 2 angry Ss, & Ss who were up to no good turned around when they saw me! If you’re a school admin you should do this, it makes a difference!

A3: I post the list of follow thru on the workroom chalkboard. It stays out until we can mark things off. I usually have staff mark it off or sometimes we decide it wasn't worth doing (that my favorite thing) It's best that it's a public scoreboard for all Ts #LeadLAP
