Questioning your abilities doesn’t mean you have impostor syndrome. It’s a normal response to a new challenge or a difficult task. The absence of doubt breeds arrogance. Feeling unsure maintains humility. A lack of confidence is a reminder that you have something to learn.

Finally getting a chance to dig into this book! I’m excited to see how this will support my dissertation, ILA project and ultimately how quality implementation can help our schools and students! #leadersread #collectiveefficacy

Thank you for joining us today! We loved being able to collaborate with the network and share all the great things happening at HMS Commandos

A sign of character is focusing more on how you treat others than how they treat you. Narcissists feel entitled to get respect. They aim to be the most important person in every room. Humble people strive to show respect. They aim to make everyone in the room feel important.

Looking for the good in others doesn’t make you naive. It means you’re not cynical. Recognizing people’s strengths doesn’t deny their flaws. It reveals their potential to overcome their flaws. Those who refuse to see the good in others fail to bring out the best in others.

Our Lady Commandos played a great came today in the tournament! It was an intense game to watch! Coach Keylock has helped them grow so much this season! HMS Commandos #TheGoldStandard

Anyone else buy all the Pd/research books and wish there was a magic way to absorb the info faster than reading them? 🤣 I’m putting my dissertation research into practice with a project @ school. I’m excited to see how this helps our school and students! Stay tuned…#leadersread

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you. Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today. Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow. Candor is an act of care.

“Deficit thinking is not only a symptom of larger systemic oppression, but also reinforces these oppressive systems…and treats people as problems” Growth mindset teaching = All Kids CAN…it takes growth minded teachers willing to try all the things #leadersread

Let’s add middle school to this too 😎 #SumnerMath

There’s a fine line between persistence and obstinance. Persistence is refusing to give up on a difficult goal. Obstinance is refusing to consider a different path. Grit is not about banging your head against a brick wall. It's about looking for a way around the wall.

Truth! 🙌

Important reminder! 🙌

Can’t wait for our VPK book study and to learn alongside our amazing VPK teachers! #sumnerachieves #VoluntaryPreK #earlyliteracymatters Sumner County Schools Professional Learning
