I realize this is not a new book. But I wish I would’ve read it as a brand new principal. It takes everything you learn and know you should do and articulates it into a clear system for school improvement! This is just what I need to refocus #Marzano#HighReliabilitySchools
Loved learning with Team Anslinger today! The best school leadership development there is, and I am so grateful I got to share it with these awesome teacher leaders! Bring on year 2! #Cohort10 @INPLI1
@CoachSoderling The answer to their question is: kids notice you, they recognize the name of your school, they smile, they connect with you… they remember who you are in the future. Not sure they do that with every other quarter-zip, ball cap wearing “serious” coach . I’d say you win 🤷♀️.
“A school that claims its fundamental purpose is to ensure high levels of learning for all students should search for more effective practices if even some of its students were being unsuccessful.”

We’re Already a “Good” School; Why Do We Need to Improve? #edchat
Day 2 of #ipli with @RickWormeli! I’m ready to do things that scare me in order to ensure all of my kids are learning! So excited to start this school year!
Great first day with #ipli10, lots of learning and ah-has with @ToddWhitaker! Then a luau and fun games! It’s like principal Summer camp and I am 💯 here for it!
Highly suggest admin to spend time regularly writing notes of gratitude to your “people”. These are the things, as a new admin, I did not put time in as I was more concerned with being an “instructional leader”. The truth is, these are the things that matter. Your people matter.
