It's an HONOR to be recognized by @PrincipalsCtr for academic growth. This was a collective effort of TOUGH, impactful, & strategic work. My TEACHERS & scholars believed in the vision of their potential, & mission to make it POSSIBLE! Thank you @AnneStreetES. The 🏆 MVPs!

Observation & feedback are the fuel for continuous improvement. They help the ILT lead with precision, PLCs learn with purpose, and coaches support with impact. When classroom evidence drives every conversation and decision, instruction improves and student achievement follows.

Is that Oakland Elementary showing double digits increases on our GMAS 2026 math test scores? @Johnsonandre_ this what leading with a sense of urgency is ALL about! We’re truly a school on the RISE!

[André Johnson @Johnsonandre_]

Titles change. Transformational practices do not. Oakland Elementary grew in every reported assessment, including +13-point gains in both third- and fourth-grade math. Proven school-level results—now informing regional impact.

I’m starting to think we need more truth tellers - every superintendent has people who will tell them the truth. The question is whether those people still have a job. Create the conditions that truth makes its way to the cabinet. #LeadershipMatters
