NELA is the BEST program for aspiring principals. I’ll be happy to share my experiences while going through the program and after if you’re on the fence and need a nudge towards yes.

MY 14TH BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER! In January, 2024, I vowed to myself that I would write this book. I decided not to accept any engagements for the month of May. When May arrived, I wrote around the clock! 18 days later, I completed this 50,000 word masterpiece! Best and most important book I have ever written and I'm excited about its December release....BUT YOU CAN SECURE YOUR COPY RIGHT NOW HERE: https://t.co/nsMjOhHf7E Thanking you all in advance! @ASCD

Being "nice" is hurting your leadership -

Nice leaders want to be liked.

Kind leaders build trust

Choose the harder path.

Be kind.

“They didn’t teach me anything!”

Want to evaluate the quality of your child’s preschool? You could hardly ask for a better endorsement than this one, captured at the end of a three-year-old’s first day of school.

In fact, if you visit a classroom and find a preschool teacher lecturing - or children hunched over desks, all engaged in the same teacher-directed activity - run for the hills.

That’s because young children don’t learn in the same way older children do.

They learn through play.

They learn through interaction.

They learn through discovery and exploration; through trial and error.

The best early childhood teachers are rarely the center of attention in their classrooms.

They aren’t there to lecture and drill, but to observe, plan, guide, question, and support the needs of each individual child.

Never confuse a lack of stereotypical “teaching” in these classrooms for a lack of LEARNING. Or rigor.

Indeed, high quality early childhood classrooms are learning laboratories second only to the home in terms of their life-changing potential.

And if your child doesn’t come home covered in paint once in a while, or with grass stains on their pants, you’ve probably chosen the wrong program.

Instead look for an endorsement like our hero’s:

They didn’t teach me anything, but I had fun. And maybe tomorrow there will be more time to talk about possums.

This happy little learner was shared to TT by carliewinkels.

I was so engaged throughout this transformative experience. Doc Brown doesn't just speak, he pulls you (willingly) into his world and helps you inspect yourself so you can be a better advocate for all children.

[Dr. Adolph Doc Brown|Psychologist + Thought Leader @docspeaks]

🤪Oh my goodness, let me tell you about the absolute blast we had at @WCPSSProfLearn! I mean, it was like a unicorn riding a rainbow kind of fantastic time! Why was it so amazing, you ask? Well, we all gathered to mix laughter with learning, all while showering the school leaders and operations and curriculum gurus with love, appreciation, and knowledge. 🤗It was like a big, warm hug for the brain!🧠 

Today's master class was all about "The Least of Them" - you know, those vulnerable souls who could use a little extra TLC. We're talking about the socially, psychologically, or economically disadvantaged folks like the sick, the poor, and the mentally and physically disabled. 👀 We dove deep into making sure every single student and staff member feels seen, valued, and like they totally belong. 😅And just for fun, I threw in some self-care tips and top-notch executive leadership strategies. Because why not, right?

So until next time, my fabulous friends, keep unpacking those backpacks 🎒🎒and spreading that love and joy like confetti! 🎉 Let's make the world a better place, one hilarious learning session at a time! 🌍 🤣
