Being a principal is like walking a tightrope—balancing the needs of the district, the expectations of the staff, and the hopes of the students, all while carrying great responsibility but holding little power to shape the course. It's often a thankless job, so thank you!

Come be our Librarian!!!!

Teaching may be the toughest job, but principal may be the loneliest job. They're in a constant tug of war between mandates, directives, & expectations of the district and the needs & support for teachers. It's important for districts & staff to show appreciation and support.

Being a principal can be very lonely.

Three keys for exponential student growth:
Highly effective teachers
Good leadership
Low turnover for consistency among effective teachers/ leaders

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

Life is hard. Work is hard. Success is hard. Nothing in life happens without struggle along the way. You will feel defeated at times, but don’t let defeat defeat you. Turn defeat into a defining moment that leads to future success.

[Emily Paschall @EmilyAPaschall]

Student learning in the classroom will only be as good as the teacher’s classroom management.

Relationships, routines and procedures are essential. #multiplyexcellence

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the custodians or teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for the culture of a school.

It was great having Sherry Witt and Ryan Brown in the school house for Principal for a Day. @KnoxSchools @WestHillsElem

Administrators who invest in building relationships with their teachers/ staff tend to have more engaged and committed teams. Engaged teams are more likely to be productive, creative, and loyal.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Teachers, never take for granted a leader who makes you feel supported, encouraged, and appreciated. Let them know you appreciate them too.

Nothing sucks the joy from reading like not knowing how to read. NOTHING…

That will not change by having cozy rooms or by doing fun reading events & assemblies or having book fairs. The 1 thing that gives every child a chance to fall in love with reading is learning how 2 read
