Principals don’t fail because they don’t know what to do.

They struggle because they can’t do what they know they should.

Leadership capacity lives below the surface.

Before you can lead others, you have to lead yourself.

Self-awareness isn’t soft—it’s strategic.

Know your tendencies.

Own your blind spots.

Grow your impact.

School leadership isn’t failing from a lack of strategies - it’s failing from a lack of capacity.
Problem-solving, systems thinking, self-efficacy, and understanding context matter as much as any “best practice.”

🧠 Teachers don’t grow from being told what to do. They grow from:

➡ Trying
➡ Reflecting
➡ Adjusting
➡ Winning
Let’s build systems that match that process.

“If we want different outcomes, we need different systems.”

Apply MTSS to teacher development with tiered supports, short cycles, and clear data.

Most PD fails because it’s a single event, not a system.
Teachers don’t need another workshop - they need sustained support and coaching.

Effective PD ≠ more PD.
Effective PD = aligned, focused, teacher-centered systems.
School leaders: reduce the noise. Amplify what matters.

This is how we build strong relationships that drive culture and improved learning. We have to make the time to create investments in the relationships we have with teachers.

Tips for supporting teachers through the fall doldrums, via leader @posickj:

Love this quote

🎯

They won’t trust the process until they trust you.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.

24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

YOU are the leader your school needs right now. ❤️

@PrincipalProj @BrianHullPE This is so important! I just listened to a podcast about doing the same thing for teachers. https://t.co/cUDLD2YGxv @BeccaSilver_edu

The greatest lever for student achievement?
Not tech. Not programs.

🧑‍🏫 It’s teachers.

The best leaders create coherent systems that support teacher growth.

Nearly every school and district has a strategic plan—However, most educational leaders lack a systematic approach to executing those plans with precision.
Plans without execution systems fail.

One-size-fits-all for student learning? Of course not. So, we probably shouldn't do the same thing to schools...

Such a great episode (as always). I have worked with so many school leaders that struggle to address potentially difficult situations and this episode really highlights why leaders must identify and address them as early as possible. https://t.co/GM3eFMwyGW

[Chad Ransom @ChadRansom7]

When leadership teams move from meeting about the plan to BUILDING the plan together—that's when improvement accelerates.

[Chad Ransom @ChadRansom7]

The shift every principal needs to make: You don't need a more detailed improvement plan. You need a shorter, more focused one.

And you don't need more control. You need more shared leadership.

Most School Improvement Plans fail not from lack of commitment—but from missing the second HOW: strengthening personal leadership competencies. Plans succeed when leaders align practice with personal growth.
