Rhode Island — other states are successfully implementing school meals for all students. If they can, we can. We’re 100% in support of this, and we will continue to be until all our learners are fed!

Leaders are not born. They’re made. There's no such thing as a natural leader. Everyone starts out with shortcomings as well as strengths. Leadership potential doesn't depend on the traits you possess. It emerges from the values you choose and the skills you learn.

None of us here at KIDS COUNT work well when we’re hungry. We’re willing to bet that you don’t, either. Makes sense that we are in full support of Healthy School Meals for all students. This is a smart, doable policy that will help our students focus + learn.

"Out of the 50 elementary, middle, and high schools across Rhode Island that earned a rating of four or five stars, 45 of them didn’t have enough MLL students to qualify for that category – which means they’re essentially being rewarded for their lack of diversity."

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.

Unfortunately my mood depends on if I have an iced coffee in hand and a future trip planned

As an educator you don’t get to pick which students you protect, we protect ALL students. It’s our job. So at a time where our LGBTQI+ students are facing increased bullying and discrimination, it is our job as educators to make our classrooms a safe place to learn.

School administrators can really make or break a teacher's experience at a school.

Give your best to get their best.

Even though principals should be proficient at delegating and administration, they should also be lead experts in teaching so that they can enter classrooms, provide feedback, and offer academic guidance to teachers.

A successful high school coach in our area used to tell younger coaches: “Don’t worry about winning games; win the kids.  If you win the kids, the games will take care of themselves. That translates to the classroom.

If you're looking for inequities in a school, start by looking at the master schedule.

Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks

Effective Leadership!
