“Children are not unintelligent. They’re untaught.” Donyall D. Dickey Ed.D. inspiring the room today!

This year may been a year of challenges, changes, setbacks, and struggles. But, never lose sight of the influence you have on your students. You think you have them for just a year or maybe two, but you are a part of their story forever. Remember, to make it a good part!

Happy Friday! Choose your attitude each morning, otherwise others will choose it for you!

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.

That’s my superintendent. So blessed to learn and grow under her leadership! #leadershipmatters

You are not fully free until you learn to discipline yourself and manage your emotions. Until then, your behavior is most likely dictated by your feelings. #OnPurpose

“As a leader, you have to have a vision. Either people will be on board with it or they will jump ship. You want people on your team who will roll up their sleeves to make the vision come to fruition.” - Dr. Lucretia Prince #MSC2023 Nonactive Account

Butterflies teach us about transformation. Growth, struggle, and determination can lead to beautiful new things. #FridayVibes

So true.... It is important to be aware and respond to the various needs of our students--simply changing your student engagement strategies, can pay dividends for the instructor and the student.

PSA: If you haven't worked in a school building post-pandemic, kindly reduce your advice & criticism, and instead, amplify your support for those on the front lines. Pre-pandemic strategies weren't meant for the challenges we face now. Let's embrace this new day together.

Some might believe that it’s far too inefficient to connect one-on-one, to build relationships one person at a time. And while it’s true that might not be as efficient, it is extremely effective and will lead to long-term gains. #TrustAndInspire

The key is that no matter how naturally it fits, everyone has a purpose, something inside of them that drives them. Your job as a leader is to help others connect to it. Once you do, they’ll be committed and engaged with new energy and understanding. #TrustAndInspire

We are not our leadership style – therefore, we can choose to rescript our style. We can choose a growth mindset and inspire others to do the same. Doing so creates infinite possibilities for us and everyone around us. #TrustAndInspire
