A school’s story doesn’t change because of slogans or posters — it changes when the people inside decide to lead differently, teach differently, and believe differently. Transformation is an inside job.

Great Teachers want to work for Great Principals. Creating relationships with your teachers is just as important as your expectation for them to create relationships with their kids.

All it takes is one good teacher ❤️

This is what my book is about. Being who teachers need, even if it means changing what you thought the job would be.

It is an outdated leadership practice and way of thinking that being kind means not addressing issues or concerns and holding people accountable; it simply means it's not done publicly for show. Praise in public and reprimand in private.

As your teachers head back to school after break, make them feel seen with a perfect compliment. Find out how by Cult of Pedagogy: cultofpedagogy.com/your-teachers-…

"I’m always arguing for rigor for everyone – in the context of each child’s zone of proximal development. This infographic does a fantastic job of operationalizing scaffolding." —Leader Tracy Matthews (Via InnerDrive)

Culture is strengthened when leaders choose presence over pressure and people over programs. Invest your time where it matters most, and the results will follow. #GrowingGreatness
