@SavannahStryker @thebiospace For the last three years, I have been working with students to reduce the stigma around menstruation within my school. I would try to encourage all teachers to have menstruation products available and to not feel as if an individual should have to hide a need for them.

Great leaders don't succeed because they are great. They succeed because they bring out the greatness in others.

A servant leader checks in and checks on the mental & emotional health of their staff and not just check off on their productivity.

My school district recently had a well-known speaker lead a full day PD for our secondary teachers.

They paid him $7,000. Plus, purchased his book for all staff members.

Meanwhile, I’m buying supplies for my classroom because money is tight.

Weak school leaders want others to think highly of them. The best leaders want their people to think more highly of themselves!

Principals and other education administrators should even be required to spend time teaching in the classroom, according to teachers responding to an EdWeek query. https://t.co/IIsueNeQ6P

The first rule of leadership: put your mission above your ego.

The second rule of leadership: if you don't care about your people, they won't care about your mission.

The third rule of leadership: if someone has to tell you the first two rules, you're not ready to lead yet.

Does anyone know what protein this is?

Research doesn’t support the terms “passing/failing” AP exams; scores of 1-2 also predict (not cause) higher college attendance rates; students who achieve 2s do significantly better in intro college classes compared to students w/the same GPA, SAT, etc. https://t.co/5Q0bv671gH

If I ever needed to see a teacher, I would let them know why before hand, so they didn't worry why all day. Head games create dysfunctional relationships.

[DR. TOM LOUD @loudlearning]

School leadership is not about controlling what happens in classrooms. School leadership is all about serving and caring for the people in classrooms.

I'm excited to announce that next year...

I'm not changing jobs and our school isn't launching any major new initiatives. Instead, we'll try and get a little bit better at what we do each day - and I'll keep trying to make school a little more awesome for kids and staff.
