School is back! We're proud of our team for volunteering their time during fall camp to help students move into their dorms. It’s great to see everyone back on campus!

Each space on this spreadsheet represents a chance for a teacher to sign their name and learn from a fellow educator!

We had a data meeting this week.
❌We didn’t look at numbers.
❌We didn’t look at who wasn’t yet at benchmark.
❌We didn’t even plan next steps.
We simply went around the room and celebrated milestones students have reached.
‼️Maybe they just learned to write their name.
‼️Maybe they are repeating a grade level and are no longer need Tier 3 intervention.
‼️Maybe they are academically inclined but have recently made drastic social and behavioral improvements.
Let’s be sure we are taking the time to celebrate our kiddos for simply reaching their personal best.
Is there a time and a place for dissecting and reflecting on data? YES. Analyzing data is essential. But there’s also a time to pause, soak up the growth, and celebrate the milestones. Why? Because data is more than just about the numbers. Behind each "number" is a human who simply wants to be reach their best. These moments remind us [teachers] of our purpose and keep us grounded on the hardest days.
Teachers are amazing. Let’s make sure we take the time to help them see the impact they’re making. 🤍

Effective leaders get out of the office and seek out informal feedback. Less effective principals have dozens of reasons for not visiting classrooms daily, or at least weekly. From What Great Principals Do Differently by @ToddWhitaker

If you’re looking to this world to make you happy, you never will be. If you’re looking to Christmas to make you happy, you never will be. You need to know Christ. That is the answer.
The same Jesus who was born in Bethlehem and lived a perfect life voluntarily went to a cross and died for the sins of the world. Then He rose from the dead. That is the gift that God offers us. It’s the gift of eternal life.
Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.
Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.
When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.
KEEP. LEADING.
