What I know for sure, is that leadership matters!

Concluded my final Instructional Leadership Team meeting w/ my team at Eastern Middle School!

Although our season of working together is ending, I’m proud that our collaborative impact will be felt for years!

So proud of my friend @JamesAllrich during this season of stretching, sacrificing & showing up for his calling.

It took discipline to stand in his dissertation proposal defense: late nights, revisions & quiet perseverance all showed today. He is absolutely on his way🎓

This decision gives our team the time to ensure ALL areas at the EagleNation are safe!

Our hardworking team at Eastern was making progress today, but the ice makes it difficult. So grateful for this call!

Stay warm & see you soon Eagles! 🦅

For the first time, I am able to join Eastern students onsite in NYC, filming interviews for their documentaries. Ted Madger discussed bias (or perspective) in the media & our students were brilliant!
