Feeling the warmth of Shabbat rolling in again. There’s something about the anticipation of that first candle being lit and the stillness that follows. It’s like a mini reset, no distractions, just a moment to breathe and connect. Love how these simple traditions can bring so ...

As a new administrator, if school culture is a problem, you HAVE to start rebuilding this trust amongst staff members and establish trust with your new staff members #ucmolead. @BryanMcDonaldPD

Being a content expert doesn’t matter as much as asking teachers important questions about what students are learning in the classroom. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

As a curriculum leader you need to be open, innovative, and not afraid of change! @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmolead

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead School improvement plans need to have a specific, measurable goal(s) that is/are the main focus for 3-5 years.

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead having a vision in each area of importance is key!! Instruction, relationships, curriculum, assessments, professional learning..

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead two main questions to ask, “What’s the purpose?” and “What are the intended incomes?”

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead “Continuous school improvement plans based on all types of data are able to move the entire system forward more efficiently and effectively, partly because they have engaged all staff in seeing the linkages of all data, and can swiftly move together”

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead if 80% of your students don’t understand, that’s a Tier 1 problem, and needs to be addressed in the classroom and the classroom teacher needs to reteach the information in another way.

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead school process data is pretty much the only measure over which we have complete control over in the education setting!

[𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘺 @jaescalloway]

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead do not give assessments if you’re only using them for a grade. The data should be studied, compared, and should be used to drive students instruction.

@BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead when giving surveys as a principal, remember to not use education jargon, make it simple and easy to understand for everyone.
