Good leadership is good leadership, but every admin should have spent time in the classroom as a teacher. If they haven't, they should be required to teach a class as admin. You have to experience what teachers experience to fully serve & support them.
Matt, you are an awesome teacher and your passion for teaching is commendable! I wish that we were still colleagues under the same roof, but I take solace from knowing that you are continuing to have a positive influence on your students! I miss you!
The best thing to wake up to after an exhausting week of hybrid instruction. The sum total of our efforts can be a better world full of smarter people. This is why I teach.

Don't forget to take time and step away from your work. You should always search for balance in your personal and professional life so that you can be your absolute best at both. #Selfcare is not a luxury, but a necessity. #SEL

I needed to hear this today. In case you do too, “Recognize that how you feel is valid, no matter what,” she said, later adding, “It’s okay not to be okay.”

Any national leader making decisions about public education should:
•spend lengthy amounts of time in public schools
•speak directly with educators, students, families
•be current on best practices for whole child centered learning
Oh...and they should be educators.
