Being "ready" to lead is only one part of the equation. A vision for a school is more likely to come to fruition if it is something that is built together rather than in isolation.

"Perfection is impossible.
In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.
But what percentage of points did I win?
54%
In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.
When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.
You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'
Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.
Here's why I'm telling you this.
When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.
But when it's behind you, it's behind you.
This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

Instead of, “Is he passing?”
Let’s try, “Is he learning?”
Our conversation will never move on from the pass-fail construct, until our questions move on.
Let’s move on.
We can do better.

Every assessment I do is accompanied by a learning memo where the student explains how they demonstrated the learning.
1⃣ It supports me when assessing
2⃣It ensures students reflect on learning
3⃣It serves as a barrier to AI replacing learning
