Elementary Principal

[Castelar Elementary @OPS_Castelar]

We're going to take a second and brag. I know. That's not flattering to toot your own horn, but this is an instance we just have to.

We would like to congratulate our own principal, Doctor Dobson! You read that right. Doctor, if you please. Wooo wooo! #OPSProud

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

Had a great time celebrating with everyone and an even better time hearing the student’s guesses for my age! I love being the principal at Castelar!

[Castelar Elementary @OPS_Castelar]

We can only do so much. We wish we could do more. We want to give back just as much as we get from our amazing Principal @EmmDobs. Happy Birthday to this incredible leader & mentor. Hoping those smiles are worth the millions we would have spent on you.

Enabling students to experience accomplishments and improvement builds their feeling of competence—a powerful intrinsic motivator. https://t.co/FzmHGaI9Zp

Book clubs help students discover the magic of books. Even kindergarteners can participate in book clubs! #TED9190 https://t.co/JANiiw9HYS

“If we do not alter our approach to the teaching of reading—if we don’t figure out a way for students to rediscover the magic of books—we will graduate a generation of nonreaders, fake readers, and unprepared-for-college readers.” https://t.co/fOf6HgW93Q

@kthomas4808 Sorry! I forget that it’s different at each school, district, etc. ILT= instructional leadership team SIP= student improvement plan #ecechat #TED9190

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

A4 In #ted9190 I’ve had the chance to reflect about collaboration vs competition at my school. I’ve realized that our administrators create an environment that fosters collaboration because they work closely with teachers & empower teacher leaders #ECEchat

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

A6 Don’t spread yourself too thin and still expect perfection. CHILL. Balance is key. Find joy in each day! #ECEchat #TED9190

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

@kthomas4808 Our teacher leaders are teacher leaders because they choose to be—we have teachers leading our ILT, SIP Focus Team, SIP Data Team, etc. #ecechat #TED9190

A5 I try to be an advocate by sharing the DAP ECE research! I always have books and articles on hand that support what I’m doing in my classroom. #ECEchat #TED9190

@techwnancy I do yoga at home! If I had to get myself to a studio or the gym each morning I know it would be more of a struggle! #ecechat

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

A2 I do yoga before school and try to fit in a workout after school if possible! I’ve noticed that getting up early to do yoga in the morning helps me to have a positive mindset throughout the day! #ecechat #TED9190

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

A3 I try to surround myself with positive people. I’m fortunate to have a kindergarten team that feels the same way! @kindergigglers @PalomoLuisa #ecechat #TED9190

[Emma Dobson @EmmDobs]

A1 Yesterday was our first day back after spring break. At 3:55 I told my class it was time to pack up and one of my students blurted “I don’t want to leave! Why can’t we stay here?!” My WHY= I love when students love school & love learning #ECEchat #TED9190
