Without connection and trust, there's just compliance. With connection and trust, you have full commitment!! As leaders, we must never forget how our actions influence others!

"It Takes Lots Of Sparkle To Be A Principal"

Language sets ceilings. Choose words that build ladders.

"A huge part of what you're doing as a teacher isn't imparting information. Books do that more effectively. What you're doing as a teacher often is setting the motivational frame and dramatizing the process of being engaged with the learning. " -Jordan Petterson

SHOWING EMPATHY! 🫶 Hillcrest PDS Elem Magnet School selected a special group of students to recognize for their empathy. Teachers observed how these students treated and spoke to others with kindness, were quick to help others 🤝, and showed empathy toward their peers. 🩵 School isn’t just about teaching academics—it’s also about helping students develop strong character qualities that will help them become outstanding individuals! 🌟 #WISDomWorksWonders

The "Dance Party"
Waco ISD Administration couldn't help but bust a move—the halls were way too quiet without you! 💃✨ The leadership team is back, the vibes are high, and we’re literally dancing into the spring semester. We are so thrilled to have our students back where they belong! Let’s keep this energy all term long. 🎶🙌#WISDomWorksWonders

@DrTiffanySpicer Happy birthday!! 50 and fabulous!

[Haley Dean @MsHaleyDean]

Your life doesn’t have to look like someone else’s. You might not get married by 30. You might not have your dream job by 35. You might not have a family before 40. That doesn’t mean you won’t have an incredible life. Don’t let timelines and deadlines stop you from experiencing.

Only one left on the naughty list!!
