"The deepest problems of the human race are spiritual in nature. They are rooted in man's refusal to seek God's way for his life. The problem is the human heart, which God alone can change." #BillyGraham
Comments like these are what make a great leader GREAT! Our system needs to lead from a place of support and compassion during this time, not evaluation and data comparison.
As a principal, I’m supposed to be an “instructional leader.” But I told our teachers this week, that I don’t know how to do that in the middle of a pandemic.
Right now is not the best time to talk about programs, plans, data points, and “best practices.” It is time to support.
My son, Deklan, demonstrates his knowledge of 2nd grade PE skills learned through remote learning this week. He created this obstacle course using various locomotor skills with transitions, hoping to make Mrs. Porciello proud. 💚💛@PineGrove_BCPS@DianeRichmond15@BCPSPhysEd
SCHEDULING NOTE: Will spring break still occur from April 3 to April 13?
We are implementing our Continuity of Learning Plan as of April 6, but students and staff will recognize two holidays: Friday, April 10 (Good Friday) and Monday, April 13 (Easter Monday).
Since we are in “canceling mood” - let’s cancel ALL state testing for this year. This will allow our teachers and administrators who are already faced with a lot of uncertainties to focus on meeting the pressing needs of our students.
As the #coronavirus continues to spread, President Donald Trump has called for a #NationalDayOfPrayer.
Will you join us in prayer? https://t.co/kc5jULBGWi
The Joyce family would like to thank Coach Jerome & Coach Dale for your investment in our daughter. We’d also like to give a shout out to Coach Sieka & Mike McEwan for your care and support of Tatum over through her years at LR.
So appreciated the support of @MissCook_BCPS @EmilyDwivedi in math class today. It was one of those days that reminded me that I love teaching and I love my students. They rocked long division and division with decimals today!!! @WarrenES_BCPS
The responsibility of educators to know every single child is just as important as the accountability for leaders to know their staff. Knowing the strengths and growth areas, professionally and social-emotionally establishes an environment of trust for children and adults.
