Selfless leadership is summed up in these three questions, which you should ask early and often:
How are you doing?
What do you need?
How can I help you be your best?
Then Listen, really Listen...
Educators don’t need pity.
We need partners.
📍Read to your kids
📍Put down your phone
📍Show affection
📍Be a role model
📍Set high expectations
📍Teach social skills
📍Acknowledge effort
Schools weren’t designed to work in isolation.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but ...
You are enough.
You've done your best. And that's a lot. It's all you can do.
There's no shame in saying, "It's time to go home. I'll do my best again tomorrow."

Find someone who roots for you in life the way my kids root for me when I’m at the pool blowing up enormous inflatable pool toys.
Even when you want to give up and pass out, you’ll keep going. 😉

Teachers, if your school is not doing online instruction and you are being told to send home packets of work, please provide an answer key for the parents that you completed where you have shown your work. Sending home weeks of busy work with no key is a waste of time.
👏Awesome to hear that OCIC's work with teachers is helping them during this time of planning distance learning for their students!👩💻🍎#OurWhy#EdTech#WeAreOCIC
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.” 2 Samuel 22:17-18
May we find comfort today in God’s ability to reach us, hold us, and rescue us.
I’m inspired by teachers who define their success by the success of their students… and who care about them in a genuine way.
I’m inspired by administrators who bend over backward to support their teachers… and who have the courage to rock the boat when needed.
We talk about the importance of teachers developing relationships with students. But it’s also important for administrators to develop relationships with their teachers. That is how they support them… how they encourage them… how they lead them. It is how culture is built.
