@GoRhodyRams@RhodyMBB Nobody walked out early from this game. Everyone stayed until the last .3 second were off the clock. Great finish to a hard fought victory. #GoRhody
I was very lucky to be invited to participate in the Rhode Island National Guard flight for Civic Leaders. Flying in a Blackhawk was a great experience and I learned so much about what the RI Guard can do for the schools and community.

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.
Dissonance: ✅
Negativity: ❌
Dissonance in schools is a powerful thing. Negativity is not.
School cultures do not improve when dissonance does not exist. Dissonance begins with discomfort and leads to change when people are willing to work toward solutions. Negativity dwells on the problem and become the excuse for change not happening. There is a big difference between the two.
Does your school have:
High numbers needing Tier 2 & 3 services?
Fix Tier 1
Low achievement?
Fix Tier 1
High misbehaviors?
Fix Tier 1
Low morale?
Fix Tier 1
High disengagement?
Fix Tier 1
Low growth?
Fix Tier 1
If you're tired of ups & downs, get off the ride & fix Tier 1.
