Exploring equity, advocacy, and best practices for black and brown students with @DrChrisBlair

After a full week of work, meetings, and traveling up and down the state, now I get to spend the weekend with friends in ”God’s front yard”.

[James Holcomb @JamesHolcombIII]

I love our monthly Instructional Partner Communities. It’s a time for empowerment, sharing ideas, celebrating victories, analyzing data, strategic planning, and ensuring alignment throughout the district and across all domains and disciplines.

Today I had a chance to do something I love - engage in professional discourse and collaboration with educators. All of our instructional partners came together for the first of monthly community sessions

[James Holcomb @JamesHolcombIII]

With my Central Office closed on Fridays, now I get to do something that I haven’t done in months - go for a morning walk in the park! It was great to see some of my Enterprise family as well.

After a full school year today is the day that I fully realize that I am an administrator. Schools are closed and kids are on summer break, and here I am driving to work without a school bus in sight.

We had an awesome time this evening, honoring our students and stakeholders at our annual athletic awards dinner! High school and central office administrators were serving the guests their dinners. Never get too high to serve others.

[James Holcomb @JamesHolcombIII]

As a first year teacher this awesome educator has successfully grown these kids - most were unable to read or write at all in August. I asked her what practices she believe produce these results. She attributed it to her positive and high energy and the Science of Reading.

[James Holcomb @JamesHolcombIII]

Leaders, you are no better than the people you serve and lead. Your greatness is in them, not in you. These were a few members of my first team as a school leader. I hope I made a difference in the same way that they may a difference in me. #schoolleadership #servantleadership

[James Holcomb @JamesHolcombIII]

Always remember the people who opened the door that you knocked on (and most times the doors I didn’t have enough sense to recognize) and gave you a chance when others walked by without even realizing your existence. #Σeducator #schoolleadership #lifelonglearner

I love my visits with our pre-Kinders. They were so excited to show me their growing plants. Soon we will have some baby chicks hatching in the incubator.

Today I had the opportunity to explore potential partnerships between my school district and the local aviation base. I absolutely love getting out there and working to expand learning for my kids.
