Great leaders.....
-Small ego, big mission.
-We before me.
-A lot of love and accountability.
-A lot of grace and truth.
-Demanding but not demeaning.
-Loving but not enabling.
-Shout praise. Whisper criticism.
-High standards, low tolerance for excuses.
You don't need your school or corporation to give you PD. Join a professional learning network, read a professional book, attend a conference, or go and observe the best teachers in your building. The best teachers never stop getting better.

Both of our JV and Varisty teams were recognized at the @MSD549C School Board meeting last week for outstanding sportsmanship and a fantastic season. Great job, ladies! ❤️ #whatwedoNMVB#representthegoodNMVB

Such an honor to coach these amazing young women this season, especially alongside some of the finest coaches, leaders, and humans I know. ❤️ #whatwedoNMVB#together#fam
"Complaining is a violent move to inaction—it replaces the need to act. Let the uncomfortable feeling—the one that would otherwise lead you to complain—spur you to take productive action. Go ahead & complain—but go directly to the cause of the complaints." https://t.co/xb0kHlRhH7
Sending love to you and praying for you @SandstromJenna !! ❤️❤️ You are a champ, and I’m so impressed by how you handled the news of your injury, the pain, the adrenaline and emotion of it all. You are a one-of-a-kind person, athlete, and teammate... we ❤️ you!

2. Show, not tell them the standard
3. Model it
4. Observe them
5. Coach them
6. Provide honest feedback
7. Validate their work
8. Sincerely thank them

For my students who say they don’t have a “purpose” or aren’t sure what that means for their lives... here you go. This is perfect. Be yourself intentionally. Offer what you can to others. Keep moving forward! #livewithpurpose
