Passionate about seeing every child succeed in the classroom and life. Middle School Principal. Opinions are my own.

Breaking down words like "disrespect" or "kindness" in schools are necessary because 1 persons interpretation of that may be entirely different than another.

What other blanket words do we need to take a closer look at?

As we wrap up #MLEM, we’re excited to share reflections from @NAESP members and middle‑level principals @Dr_Maring, @XavierReed_, and @ForsythKaty!

💬 Now we want to hear from YOU — what’s the most important thing adults should know about middle schoolers?

[National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals @NAESP]

In honor of #MLEM, we asked middle-level principals what leading “in the middle” really looks like. @XavierReed_ shares candid, on-the-ground leadership insights in our newest @NAESP blog.

Minnesota has faced challenges over the past few weeks, but today principals from the state met with legislators in our nation’s capital to share their concerns and advocate on behalf of educators and students. Way to use your voice, Minnesota Principals! #PrincipalsAdvocate

[National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals @NAESP]

Minnesota Principals had a very productive meeting today with Senator @amyklobuchar, who also announced her run for Minnesota Governor. She shared personal stories of growing up in Minnesota and her deep passion for supporting educators.

Trajan Langdon (Duke 1994-99) poured in 34 points in this game, the kind of performance that reminds you how steady and lethal he was. The “Alaskan Assassin”delivered some great moments, cementing his place as one of Duke’s purest shooters.
