@iReady is literally the worst thing I have seen implemented, adopted and spread throughout education in my 35 year career. It is heart wrenching watching these programs rob students of real reading and writing, deep conversations, exposure to diverse authors and perspective and any life long skills that come with reading, writing and thinking authentically. To know they are making billions of dollars at the expense of the literacies our students do desperately need is malpractice! IMHO #peopleoverprograms # LiteracyMatters

Building morale @BurrusES one Easter egg 🐣at a time… and maybe a little friendly chaos too. Teachers understood the assignment! Love is the 🔐‼️ #RelationshipsMatter #PeopleOverPrograms #GoldenEggEnergy #LetLoveLead

Excited to collaborate with my favorite Alabama educators this week! Their dedication to being the administrators their staff and students deserve is truly awe-inspiring. #InvestingInPeople #PeopleOverPrograms #AdministratorsMatter @casas_jimmy&Associates

When we serve kids with IEPs based on the group’s needs verses the individual student’s needs we are not providing FAPE. #untilEVERYkidcanread #peopleoverprograms #FAPEdenied

Struggling readers need highly trained interventionists more than expensive computer programs disguised as interventions. #peopleoverprograms #untilEVERYkidcanread

De-implementation of ineffective teaching methods is just as critical as implementing evidenced based methods! This is why teacher training is such an important priority right now! #peopleoverprograms

Thank you Sen Lange for fighting for educators in NV. Lawmakers passed a historic budget with the intent to provide the hardworking staff in our schools with a livable wage! We can’t support our students without supporting educators. #PeopleOverPrograms @WashoeSchools #WEANV

I’ll never forget as a new teacher at Charter Oak, my mom passed away 2 weeks after the start of school, the amount of support I received from the school and district. That doesn’t go unappreciated! #peopleoverprograms @COUSD_GPeterson @CharterOakHigh @COHSFootball

I just don't think I'm gonna get to everything on my list today. And that's ok. #PeopleOverPrograms

Leaders: a thought for you as prepare to begin your new school year: “We are in the people business, we can’t forget that.” #RoadToAwesome #peopleoverprograms #peopleoverdata #principals #LeadershipMatters

When your office besties know you need a break from all the things, and make sure you get to hold a future Little Buck...winning! It may be too early for PreK, but we start building relationships and recruiting early around here. #relationshipsmatter #peopleoverprograms

A gentle reminder to Leaders regardless of profession/location...Climate and Culture focus doesn't begin and end in December 🙂 #Servantleadership #PeopleOverPrograms #Maslowb4Blooms @IAPSS_ORG @INPrincipals @INPLI1 @NASSP @AASAHQ

This resonated with me soooo much!!! #CultureIsFoundational #PeopleOverPrograms #LifeLiteracyAndThePursuitOfHappiness

My high school alumni FB page asked for everyone’s favorite teacher. It got 320 responses in a couple hours. Wonder how many responses I would get if I asked for favorite curriculum? #PeopleOverPrograms

@AllenCoSchools is investing in teacher expertise. The teacher is the number one predictor for student success. ALL students deserve an amazing teacher. #PeopleOverPrograms every single time. 🤩

If building relationships with students and staff isn't a priority for a principal, then you might be in the wrong profession. #ServantLeadership #PeopleOverPrograms
