Today kicks off National Assistant Principals Week, and I've had the privilege to work alongside @MrIngoldBMS for the past 5 years. He is a great example of what it means to be a Champion for Kids!

8th grade Bolivar Liberator manager/player, Landon Hayes, goes in for 4th quarter, drains three 3's, a 2, & ends w/ 11 pts. Great show of sportsmanship by all in attendance. @Bolivar_Schools

#ThoughtForTheDay Before we make shifts in pedagogy, we must first make a shift in our thinking. We either believe all kids can learn at higher levels or we don’t. If we don’t shift our belief system, our methods to teaching won’t be as impactful. #Culturize

Some parents judge schools by the test scores. But there are a lot of parents who judge schools by the attitude of their child when they get home in the afternoon. We need to be working to raise student achievement… but we also need to be creating good experiences for kids.

I'm excited to have this great group of educators join our team at BMS this year! #GoLiberators

It is a privilege to listen to my colleague @DavidGeurin share during the keynote address at the NASSP National Principals Conference! #GoLiberators

#ThoughtForTheDay Behind every successful student is an adult who championed for that student. The same can be said for most of us. We are where we are b/c someone championed for us. Who will you champion for today?…via #Culturize

We got the opportunity to do some Distance Learning with the National Archives for Constitution Day!

[Bolivar R-1 Schools @Bolivar_Schools]

We asked our staff "Why do you do what you do?" Here is what they said... #GoLiberators

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

What most adults will never experience in their jobs:

A student visiting them years later to say thanks for being there when nobody else was.

A parent writing an email saying you changed their child's life & they can't thank you enough.

That's why being a teacher is awesome.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I don’t need our teachers to be the most talented, the most innovative, or the most tech savvy. I need them to care about kids… work well with their colleagues… and come to work every day, excited about making a difference.

[Justin Parmenter @JustinParmenter]

I tried something different at Open House this year and asked parents to write their child a brief note of encouragement that I can save and give them when they’re having a hard day. #nced

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

My 13 year old daughter has talked for several years about how much she loved her 5th grade teacher. I asked her what she liked about her. Her response: “She liked US!” So simple… yet so profound. Kids gravitate to the teachers that like them. They can tell.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Kids take discipline better from teachers they respect and know care about them. In fact, they are less likely to get in trouble in the first place if they don't want to disappoint you. #relationships #teachergoals

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

You can improve your school’s culture for free. It doesn’t cost anything to focus on the kids. It doesn’t cost anything to collaborate. And it doesn’t cost anything to keep a good attitude.
