I was in schools today working with principals and I loved hearing them talk about how much they valued their staff.
Great leaders recognize the strengths in their colleagues and celebrate them as often as possible!
Science of reading isn’t phonics-only, direct instruction isn’t just teachers talking, feedback isn’t just grading, assessment isn’t just tests, knowledge isn’t just dates, practice isn’t just drills, math isn’t just algorithms, and behavior management isn’t just punishments.
Children can be active leaders in their learning! The #ReggioEmilia approach for pre-K classroom design can engage young learners in problem-solving *and* collaboration. 💫

God is most attracted to someone who is humble before Him. When we release control and go to Him as we are, He welcomes us with open arms. #GodEncountersSeries
"If the pendulum swings back in the direction of phonics w/o a simultaneous change in the way we approach comprehension...kids will learn to decode words, but they won’t understand what they’re reading."
Must read by @natwexler on getting reading right!

If you’re a leader...
... I don’t care about your mission statement, vision statement, strategic plan, or policy positions...
... as much as I care about how you treat people.

We are incapable of being complete without Jesus. He made us with a void that only He can fill so that we would seek Him! If you’re feeling that void today, just reach out to Him. He is not far from you. When you seek Him, you WILL find Him! #SummerAtHighlands
