Love this!

Happy birthday to this guy! We’re spending the morning doing what he loves. I better get to use to watching him play in the rain…. I feel a lot of it in my future! We’re chasing our dreams and the little white ball! #happybirthdaybabe #51 Titleist

You can’t give people the best version of yourself if you’re not taking care of yourself. #selfcare

Education is not teacher centered or even student centered, but it is relationship centered. Teachers thrive with positive admin relationships & students thrive with positive teacher relationships. Relationships are the foundation of education.

The best teacher I knew had a game where any adult entered her room(staff, admin, parent) had to answer a question. The students loved this because she would ask tough questions based on the lesson & they often knew the answer when the adults didn’t. Showed we all can still learn

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed, but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated.

Effective leaders don't feel the need to micromanage. They trust & respect their staff to do their job. They know their role is to sometimes mentor, but to always support and encourage those they lead. Effective leadership is getting the best out of those you lead.

Three lessons from Hurricane Danny in 1997 highlighting why you can't judge storms by past storms. 1) It was the only Atlantic storm to make landfall that season. 1) Flooding rain was a bigger deal than wind. 3) It formed in the Gulf, and moved to Mobile Bay from the southwest.

🌀26 Years Ago - The State Docks along the Mobile River recorded a low tide of -2 feet during Hurricane #Danny in 1997 as the water was blown out of the bay for several hours (due to the strong northerly winds on the western side of Danny). 💻 weather.gov/mob/danny
