Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy.
🔺When people talk about you, keep leading.
🔹When people compliment you, keep leading.
🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading.
Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading.
When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world.
KEEP. LEADING.

When we measure data and statistics, we cannot measure the change we can make within another person’s heart. It’s not just about the numbers. It’s about seeing education as a tool for changing the future of every single one of our students. We must impact their hearts, which will, in turn, impact their minds, which will then impact their future, which eventually changes the world.
Be a difference maker by loving kids first. THEN teach your heart out.

There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence.
The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year.
Support your new teachers.
🔺Check on them daily.
🔸Model lessons for them.
🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1.
🔸Provide specific feedback.
🔺Model the first phone call home.
🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them.
🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often.
Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple.
What did I miss?
The 15th annual tea party at Mt. Tabor Elementary last month helped students learn and practice the skills needed for formal events.
Teacher Teshea Barbee said students did an excellent job practicing manners and being polite.
