A school shared they had posted this at their front office a few months ago. I have been blown away by the incredible work done by educators all over the world, finding solutions when there are so many obstacles. #thankyou
“The most effective teachers are the ones who realize they are the most important variable in the classroom,” writes 2016 Alabama Secondary Principal of the Year Danny Steele (@SteeleThoughts) in a #SchoolOfThought post on exceptional teachers. https://t.co/CbNjJhthsP
The difference between average and great principals lies in what they expect of themselves. @ToddWhitaker Favorite quote from latest blog: https://t.co/cAN12LiNc5 @ChristineBedre @principalsteph1 Shout out to morale magic!
@principalsteph1 gave me great advice for plc’s. Teachers gave me the 10 things they need from me to carry out our vision. This is on my ofc door to remind me what they need!
Most great teachers didn’t start out that way! But...
1) They reflected on what worked and what didn’t.
2) They learned from their colleagues.
3) They always kept their focus on the students.
EVERY teacher can be a better teacher!
When parents drop their kids off at carpool...when they put them on the bus...they want to know their kids are walking into a school w/ adults that will love them & care about their well being. Test scores are important... but that might not be the 1st thing on a parent’s mind.
I believe that the single best way to transform a school, is to cultivate collaboration between the adults in the building. When all staff members are working together for the good of the kids… they can make magic.
SO proud of these 5 principals from my former district! I hired 2 of these ladies and 4 of them taught on my campus! All 5 are TEPSA members and come every summer to Austin to learn and network. Check out their new blog! https://t.co/Ru7wfxucM3 @TEPSAtalk@LindaleISDNews#tepsa
It took a while for me to learn this, but now I always express sincere gratitude to someone if they confide their frustrations to me. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to grow and to improve. (The sincere part is important here!) #TalkToMe#LeadLap
What we expect from our TEACHERS should be no different than what we expect from ourselves as PRINCIPALS.
What we expect form our STUDENTS should no different than what we expect from ourselves as TEACHERS.
Always remember this accountability.
