Principals- Visiting every classroom every day is not instructional leadership if the goal is to simply be seen. That’s your ego. Leadership is support, encouragement, and guidance when and where it’s needed…for them, even if it’s in the shadows and background.

Leaders, if you aren’t vested in staff morale, you aren’t vested in school culture. * Empower teachers w/ voice/ input * Trust them as professionals * Treat everyone as individuals * Respect their time * Show them you care personal/professional * Celebrate all successes

Our students need a supportive environment that fosters learning.

It makes me sad when a teacher assistant says “I’m just a para” when they introduce themselves to me…we CANNOT do our jobs without support staff. They are the backbones of our schools. No one is “just” anything on your staff. Make sure your support staff feel encouraged & loved.
