If a coach is not in his office during a game where should leaders be during the school day-the game is happening! #plc2022

Sometimes reminders are sent at the right moment, in the right space, by the right person. Thank you @PrincipalKafele - I will continue to TAKE TIME to meet people where they are… AS THEY ARE… like a Vandross love song!

We need to stop validating ineffective practices-not the person but the practices that are not moving learning forward. #plc2022 #leadersleadinglearning

How do we move teachers from compliance to ownership? Common challenges drive learning and move us from buy-in to ownership. #plc2022 #learningtolead
