Leaders: If you want to foster a positive, supportive culture for your team, you can’t forget that it starts with you! When you prioritize your well-being, you give others *true* permission to do the same. Shoutout to @drhspeaks for walking the walk ⬇️👏

On behalf of Inspiring Educators and as a resident of neighboring Boston, I am proud to be in solidarity with Newton Teachers Association who are fighting for a contract that values their labor and their humanity. Keep fighting. 👏💛

Any strategy to support educators must be designed WITH educators. They know what they need to be successful and when they ask for it, it is in everyone's (incl. STUDENTS') best interest to listen. A strike is what happens when we do not listen. Newton Teachers Association we are with you.

Morning Affirmation: Today, I embrace my role as principal with confidence, ready to serve and support our school community.
