"We've always done it that way" is not a valid reason for anything.

Don't follow traditions because the status quo is comfortable and change makes you uncomfortable.

Question whether past routines are serving you well in the present and guiding you toward a better future.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

When asked a #question, don’t hesitate to say ‘I don’t know, let me get back with you.’

People would rather get a correct answer a day later than an incorrect answer at that moment.

It’s so important to remember that not knowing isn’t a sign of weakness.

“[S]tudents with disabilities who spent 80% or more of their time in a general ed...did significantly better in both reading and math assessment than their peers who spent more time in separate special education classrooms.” We must do better. https://t.co/fjyosNad5L

If they praise you, show up and do the work. If they criticize you, show up and do the work. If no one even notices you, just show up and do the work. Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.

Waiving annual accreditation for a second year will allow our schools to focus on assessing the impact of the shut down on students, academically and on their social and emotional well-being... without the added pressure of the possible impact on accreditation.

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

It’s impossible to grow as a teacher, a principal, as an educator, or as a person, unless you are willing to change.

Growth requires change. It requires different ways of thinking, acting, and leading.

You cannot stay the same and succeed in a world that is not the same.

[Deanna Dunn Nelson @deanna_dnelson]

Every bit of this ❤️

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread)

Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:

[gerry brooks @gerrybrooksprin]

When you have 20 people (parents, teachers, followers) saying positive things & 1 person saying negative, if you focus on the negative, then you are saying that person’s opinion is more important than the other 20. Don’t get wrapped up with negative people.

@LLESprinc_WJCC @LLES_WJCC Thank you Dr. Swann. I feel so lucky that I get to “gladiate” with you!

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; It is about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. @SteeleThoughts #essentialtruths
