True story!

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

As a principal, I don’t need to see your lesson plans. Because if I’m doing my job effectively, I see the true teaching and learning every day.

They are all about the students.

They always bring positive energy into the classroom.

They are relentless about getting better."
