If students are able to rely on the Internet to get answers, are we asking the right questions?
Google doesn't have answers. It has information. Students find answers through good thinking.
Being an instructional leader doesn’t always mean you are providing expertise in teaching and learning. Sometimes… it just means you are helping to shape the conditions in which your teachers can thrive. Sometimes, it’s just about building the right culture.
Culture is a competitive advantage. A team with a great culture seems to have an extra layer of strength, tradition, resilience, belief and power that allows them to perform at a higher level.
Grit? What is it? I believe it’s driven by love. Inspired by vision and purpose. Fueled by optimism and belief. Powered by faith and hope. Revived by resilience. Kept alive by stubbornness. And if we’re honest includes some fear of failure and desire to prove oneself.
There’s a saying, “If the devil won’t make you bad he’ll make you busy.” He will distract you and cause you to focus on all the things that don’t matter instead of what does matter. Distractions are the enemy of greatness. Focus on what matters most!
Don’t wait for your district to offer a training. Don’t wait for your school to “develop” you.
You’re a talented professional and can take ownership of your learning.
Take full advantage of what your school offers, but be a continuous learner.
Own your learning.

Probably the best education advice I have ever heard:
“Teach every child like you’re their lifeline... like you are their last chance to succeed.”

@LCSforKids is so blessed to have @mrsjames78. She is a wonderful instructional leader in our district and we are so grateful for her! She led a FABULOUS Instructional Round for her school today. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to attend! 🤗👏🏽
The most important thing you can do when a child comes to school is greet him/her with a smile. What are your plans to welcome kids on day one? #CommonSenseLeadership#CelebratED🎉⭕️🎉 #Bettertogether
