Radford School leaders host Virginia Education Summit wsls.com/news/local/202… Great Students, Great Staff, Great School Community!

A principal once shared with me two intangibles he looks for in candidates when hiring: 1. Are they passionate about kids? 2. Are they coachable with a desire to learn and grow? He said the rest will take care of itself...

Good teaching is not accidental.  It results from teachers who plan well and who connect with their students.  Both of these are intentional.  Good teaching takes energy, passion, and perseverance.  I’m grateful for all the teachers who are putting in the work.

To teach with heart, purpose, and impact is to shape not just students, but families, communitie and humanity itself. #Thankyoueducators #Culturize
