Leadership is storytelling. The way we share our journey shapes what others believe is possible. So grateful for the inspiration today!!🔥🔥👏🏽Janna Ostroff, Ed.D. (LBMS💕) Dr. Rob Wottawa Paul Romanelli, Ed.D. Dr. Murphy

As an aspiring leader, #LIELS was more than a summit—it was a spark. Both keynotes Paul Romanelli, Ed.D. and Dr. Murphy shared powerful, honest stories that reminded me: culture begins with a story, and leadership means showing up with purpose, heart, and authenticity.

Mentoring Moments at #LIELS by Dr. Rob Wottawa was a powerful reminder: never underestimate the impact you have on someone's journey. We don’t just lead—we lift. Empowered leaders mentor the future, hold the ladder steady, and build cycles of support that last. Janna Ostroff, Ed.D.

Engagement isn’t just participation—it’s purpose. In Lifting the Level of Faculty Engagement by Nicole Hunn we explored how Visible Thinking Routines spark reflection, curiosity, and connection. Intentional moves → collaborative culture → continuous learning. #LIELS

Another amazing session at #LIELS on using success criteria to bring our Learner Profile to life! Loved the showcase of real case study with clear ways to make it visible for students, staff & families. LongBeachSchools Janna Ostroff, Ed.D.

Another inspiring session @ #LIELS Leading Literacy Change by Dana Musso was a powerful reminder that real growth starts with people, not programs. Vision, vulnerability, and reflection matter. Paul Romanelli, Ed.D.
