There’s a difference between “complaining” and identifying challenges. The best teammates are always looking for solutions... and they definitely don’t dwell in negativity.

There is no mastery without feedback. But it’s hard.

This checklist has really helped me over the years.

My mantra for receiving feedback: Be brave. Listen. You can take what’s helpful and leave the rest.

My mantra for giving feedback: Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind.

#ThoughtForTheDay Don’t mistake culture as only being about donuts & jeans day. That may help climate in the short term but culture is about long term. It’s about relationships, the way we treat one another, taking risks w/o repercussion, loving kids & so much more. #Culturize

A school staff that believes it can collectively make a positive difference for students likely will. This is the absolute greatest impact on learning. Believe in yourself and believe in your team! #teachergoals
