@mattwight @NCPrincipals Thanks for stopping by.

I am excited to see what is in store for us as we will begin a new school year in a few weeks. I am excited to follow the path that the Lord continues to lead me on.

Where He Leads…

The past 5 months have been incredible. In February, I stepped away from a wonderful job at Hunt working with Erin and seeing Emery everyday to lead an elementary school in Black Creek. The folks and students at Lee Woodard are amazing.

I was surprised at how much of an impact being at Lee Woodard had on me in such a short time.

However, this summer I have been given the unexpected opportunity to return to high school and lead the fine folks at Wilson Early College Academy.

My opponent shares a lot of numbers and stats, but there’s one number she hasn’t highlighted: 0.

Zero days working in a North Carolina public school; zero days enrolling her children in them.

That's an important stat.

What influences achievement?

While teacher autonomy is important, accountability is necessary to ensure students are being given the opportunity to be successful in spite of their individual circumstances.

@sherrijernigan @edpuzzle She is pretty awesome!

I enjoyed hearing the advice these amazing educators shared at #innovatewcs this morning. @TechyColbert @WCS_TechDept

[Don Marlett @MarlettDon]

There are two types of decisions. 1. We use data to make our decision and set criteria for success, or 2. We use words like “feel” to inform the decision and hope it works. Success isn’t replicated by the outcome but by understanding the decision behind the success. #leadership

Looking forward to the WCS Mid-Year Virtual Conference and presenting with April Shackleford!!! There are a lot of great sessions throughout the day. #innovatewcs #wcsisthebest

Are you struggling with student engagement? It might not be what you are doing but how you are saying it that is pushing students away.

Here We Go!

A lot of things are contributing to the crazy circumstances we find themselves in. Control what you can control and focus on your students. Love them, teach them, have patience with them, and let them know you care about them and can't wait to see them.

Five years from now, students won’t remember which LMS you used, the vocabulary video, or which tech tool they didn’t get to see, but they will remember your smile, your words, your passion (YOU). #relationships #BetterTogether #withLF #adapt #edchat #cpchat
