@tgrierhisd @ErskineCharters does a fantastic job improving student learning. Shout out to many district office members who are in the school, helping principals lead, offering PD, mentoring teachers and helping all so children grow! Let’s move the needle SC!

[Lindsay H. Walker Ed.D @HarmonWalkerL]

@tgrierhisd The children need more! You can’t relax now you must keep moving the needle and closing those gaps.

[Terry Grier @tgrierhisd]

Never forget: some people will criticize you for doing the right thing—even when it produces extraordinary results. The “yes, but” crowd often defends a status quo that serves their interests. Stay focused. Stay the course—for all children, not just a few.

[Terry Grier @tgrierhisd]

Turning around low performing schools is hard work and not for the faint of heart. The first step is a courageous principal that will not tolerate or give into the status quo. The second step is a courageous superintendent that will take care of step one. Step three—let’s talk!

[Lindsay H. Walker Ed.D @HarmonWalkerL]

@ZBauermaster Best times!! My favorites too.

[Todd Whitaker @ToddWhitaker]

It doesn’t work that way.

[Terry Grier @tgrierhisd]

If somebody is not meeting their performance standards, good leader gives them feedback. They let them know what they need to change. If they will not or cannot change, after an ample period of support and documentation, then they let them go.

[Terry Grier @tgrierhisd]

Warren Buffet once said, “In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don’t have the first one, the other two will kill you.”

And he is spot-on!

@oldedu Love this! Been modeling /er/ with a first grade teacher this week. I’ll have to share the wall idea.

Feeling grateful this holiday season for the opportunity to work alongside such an amazing educator, Brad Teague.
It's truly inspiring to partner with someone who shares the same vision and passion for supporting all children. #Teamwork #ChristmasCheer

@oldedu Getting 4 copies on Amazon for the leadership team at CCA! Can’t wait to read this one.

[Terry Grier @tgrierhisd]

Great leaders spend the majority of their time focusing on the one thing that matters most. Weak leaders don’t focus on anything and try to be all things to all people. If you want to know what’s important to someone, look at their calendar and check book.
