I read. I write. I lead. I believe in children and the adults who teach them. Momma to Maggie, wife to Hank. 2013 SCTOY. 2023 SC Middle AP of Year.

One of my favorite parts of teaching: seeing kids achieve success against impossible odds. That's not innate. It takes hard work and grit.

If you want to know what good teaching looks like... ask some students.

[Amy McAllister @aemcalli]

Some leaders you work FOR.
Some leaders you work WITH.
Small words, but they matter. #leadershiplessons

If you ever think you’re beyond improvement, you’re done. The work (and growth) continues, always... #hackingleadership

[Amy McAllister @aemcalli]

So much of leadership (of any kind) consists of asking people “How are you?” as more than a daily courtesy and really wanting to know.

And people know the difference. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #leadership #schoolleadership

School climate is how we speak to a student when their parent is present.

School culture is how we speak to a student when nobody is around.

Kids stress out in unhealthy ways when they only have one chance to demonstrate mastery. They aren't focusing on learning; instead, they’re focusing on a grade. #edchat

It's not 'my' team... it's our team. It's not 'my' school... it's our school. It's not 'my' idea... it's our idea. Words matter. #leadership

@NICKIMINAJ If you're still feeling super generous, this teacher has a 4.0, a crazy student loan payment, and uses your lyrics to teach!

Exhausted. The end.

If two people make every decision based on what's best for students they never disagree even when they disagree. #txed

"When correcting students, do I speak to them in a way that I would like for them to replicate with their classmates?" https://t.co/DpjAQuSqKH

Not all of your kids have hope. And when that fact hits you... you realize your job is bigger than any lesson plan or standardized test.
