I am blessed with the support of family in caring for my boys during those long nights as I completed my MA in Ed. Leadership. Grateful for the many connections and friendships established through our AU cohort. Looking forward to serving Rochelle as assistant principal of RMS!

As an educator and mother of a son with type 1 diabetes, I have a special place in my heart for our school nurses ❤ Our nurse eased this mama's heart as our son had his first school experience. 🥰

With every challenge we face, we must determine if we are attacking the root cause.

Sunday Reflection:
Are you working at the branch level or the root level?
Thanks @JamesClear!

Always seek to understand behaviors. You never know what students are carrying with them.

I love this line from @EmmanuelAcho’s new book. All of us are a little untethered right now, which means a lot of projecting our own fears and anxieties onto other people. Sometimes, if we get really quiet—quiet enough to hear ourselves—we realize we know. https://t.co/XIrIv11FXk

We have two conversations going on about teacher burnout right now.
One in the teacher's lounge and one in the Principal's Office.
We need to fix this!!

@Vanebells86 Well deserved 👏 😍

[Katie Smith @kstumpenhorst01]

From that..to this! I think we have found a better placement for my son's sensor 💙 We have been using Dexcom for two years and have never experienced readings like this. After two months of problem solving this mama is feeling much better 🥰

Vulnerability at it's finest. A wonderful story of grit and perseverance. I love the invisible backpack analogy ❤

[Sara Boucek @sboucek]

So I suppose this has been a long time coming. Thank you @drorzel, @KwasnyKate & @F4Leaders for the gentle shove. This was a big bucket list check off. Here goes nothing, the abridged @TEDx version of my invisible backpack speech. Go easy on me, scary. https://t.co/a6WJebEYW8

[Katie Smith @kstumpenhorst01]

@sboucek @drorzel @KwasnyKate @F4Leaders @TEDx Amazing! Thank you for sharing your story ❤ Your story of the invisible backpack has stuck with me since you joined us aspiring principals in the Meridian cohort ❤
