3 Things to Do Today: 1. Don't get caught in the comparison trap. Comparison is the thief of joy. 2. Focus on what you can control (your actions, effort, and attitude) and let go of the rest. 3. Be “The Seed” and make a difference where you are.

Don’t give up. Stay the course. Embrace the process and remember... anything worthwhile takes time to build. 📷 pg 94 of “The Carpenter”

Need a new hashtag, job change makes #momsasprincipals and #principalsinaction rich, but inauthentic? Is there a PLN for #momsasdirectors #directorsinaction or other central office staff? #edchat #leadup

Looking for something to do this summer? Want to learn about instruments? Check out the York libraries summer program. Visit various parks & make a rubbing of the instrument. Visit your local library for more info. #wyasd #esedwyasd

Positive teams don’t just have fun together. They pursue greatness together. They believe the best is yet to come so they give their best to create the best outcome.

Leaders: One of the most powerful questions: “What’s going on and how can I help?” Let’s not pretend anymore that “life” and “work” operate on different platforms. What we believe and who we are is infused in everything we do! @TimHodges402 #naespnlc @GallupEDU #IUEPCohort

"We are teaching the netflix generation of kids." @thomascmurray Watching the #Olympics2018 live is killing my 7 year old! No dear, we can't watch ice skating because it hasn't happened yet! She doesn't understand we can't skip to it! 😂

If zeroes held kids accountable & 'motivated' them to do their work, then no kid would ever not do an assignment. For our kids who need motivation the most, zeroes rarely, if ever, work.

Mom mode kicked in Friday afternoon and I had to reschedule finishing the doors to the weekend. Sunday funday- kids are gonna love it! 50 stars, stripes are 6 inches each! #principalsinaction #MomsAsPrincipals #Olympics x.com/lwybulldog/status/9602…

This is what happens when door decorating takes on the #Olympics at Linconway and you have 7 doors in your hall! Watch for Olympic facts up and down Bulldog Blvd! Can't wait to learn about the countries competing at each classroom door! #wyasd

One of the great things educators learned from @alicekeeler was when she said, "Learning needs to be different, not just digital. If you're doing the same thing but making it digital it's not going to change the way students learn."#sparkon

Saw this on the twitter verse-love the idea for the 100the day! Board went up and students and teachers began recording today!#principalsinaction #kidsdeserveit #momsasprincipals #dadsasprincipals #studentvoice x.com/lwybulldog/status/9579…

Tomorrow is the 100th day of the school year! But for our 2nd grade students, it's the 468th day of learning! Over a WY 3rd graders career - 652 days smarter! #184daysoflearning
