To achieve something great, you must have the strength and confidence to take a leap of faith. Don't let fear keep you from soaring to new heights and experiencing life to the fullest. If you have ever done it afraid, place ME in the comments. #Joyfulexcellence

Tomorrow is our #RULER2023 conference. We’ve got 1400 emotion revolutionaries from around the globe sharing #SEL best practices in leading, teaching, & learning. That @rulerapproach has reached 4M students blows my mind. Wouldn’t be possible w/o our amazing @YaleEmotion team. 🙏

I know my ❤️ is stretch-marked and strong. It’s not just worn but feeling threadbare. And while its willingness seems to wax and wane these days I know it’s there. If you’re feeling the same, remember: There’s nothing more beautiful than a worn ❤️ that’s somehow still willing.

@CurtCanada Happy Thanksgiving!

“Districts that seemed to be improving had strong, stable leadership focused on teaching and learning. …The districts tended to go all in on their instructional plans at scale, rather than piloting things here and there.” @Stephen_Sawchuk on @GreatCitySchls report on #NAEP 📈

Lessons for us all!

This week, as we observe National Assistant Principals Week, I want to personally thank each and every one of our Assistant Principals for their steadfast leadership and service to DCPS students, staff, and families. #APWeek21

[DC Public Schools @dcpublicschools]

Did you know that all DCPS schools offer art and/or music experiences? The arts are therapeutic, and we focus on arts curriculum that engages students in current issues and finding their voice in their experiences. #DCPScreates

[Jackson-Reed High School @JacksonReedHSDC]

Reopening schools is like, “Playing a game of 3-D chess while standing on one leg in the middle of a hurricane”
