@PrincipalProj @timlriley This note from a student…instant joy! 🥲

[Akilah Ellison🌼 @OrganicLeaderVB]

@PrincipalProj Giving them time ⏱️

@PrincipalProj So many things but the one that stands out is watching our students cultivate kindness by ensuring every single person in our school received a kind note:) #LeadfromtheMiddle

[Ranesia Davenport Edwards, M.Ed. |Doctoral Student @RANESIAEDWARDS]

Walkthroughs should never feel like “gotcha.”
Observed = Celebrate
Not Observed = Clarify
Needs to Be Addressed = Coach & Support
The goal is always growth, not compliance. #InstructionalLeadership

I love 💕 this and it’s so important to reflect regularly as a leader to ensure you’re leading with integrity and heart #LeadingfromtheMiddle

What are some ways you're already exhibiting traits of a high-trust leader? What do you want to focus on next?

I love 💕 this book

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

Every now and then, I’ll be sitting somewhere, lost in a random thought, and it suddenly hits me—oh yeah… I wrote a book.

A1 Hi everyone #T2Tchat Akilah, Middle School Director…just getting in!

We celebrate Black History Month by flattening the walls…doorways, hallways and even highlighting special cuisine in our dining hall #LeadfromtheMiddle

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

Q1. Black history belongs in every classroom, not just history class! What’s one way you bring Black history into your teaching? #T2Tchat

[Akilah Ellison🌼 @OrganicLeaderVB]

I love 💕 this! Thank you for sharing !

🌟 By identifying bright spots in your school community's change efforts – and then going to observe them – you can locate potential for greater impact. This guide from @hthgse can light your path:

Want an easy, meaningful classroom activity for Random Acts of Kindness Day? 🌱💚

Diffit Chat helped us create a ready to use worksheet that supports students in planning their own acts of kindness, a meaningful SEL activity that is quick to implement.

Rest is not retreat, but preparation.

Black women shape learning spaces, guide entire systems, influence decision-making tables, and drive transformative change in their communities, but today, we breathe, we reflect, we restore.

When we take time to reset, we return stronger, clearer, and ready to transform every space we enter.

How are you restoring today? 🩷

Happy Valentine's Day to all our incredible middle level educators! 💖Today and every day, we see the heart you pour into your classrooms: the patience, the creativity, the unwavering belief in every young adolescent who walks through your door.

You guide them through some of their most challenging and transformative years, and that work matters more than words can say.

❤️You are appreciated.
❤️You are valued.
❤️You are loved.

Thank you for everything you do.

@PrincipalProj I use our communal spaces (Assembly, Grade Level Homerooms, Our Division meetings and our newsletter to highlight students and staff weekly...I even use holidays:). Valentines is a great day to highlight all the reasons we love our staff and students #LeadfromtheMiddle
