Thanks to @SCORE4Schools for identifying important 2020 priorities for public education in Tennessee! And this is what it looks like when UT Leadership Academy fellow Shannon Tufts shares effective strategies to address early literacy with state policymakers! #literacy #leader

Leadership development should be meaningfully and systematically integrated into the culture of organizations in order to inspire and produce leaders who can confidently address today’s challenges. # #coaching #leadership #betterschools https://t.co/9ECsppK3fM

Day 1, I have accepted a challenge from @kerkatrob to post covers of 7 books I love: no explanations or reviews—just the cover. Each time I post a cover, I’ll ask someone else to take the challenge - One cover a day for a week. My day 1 nomination goes to @MrSmith_GMA
