Had a blast presenting with my school social worker and our USF partners at the APBS Conference in Jacksonville on Friday! We shared some of the powerful work from our family focus groups and how we are working to align or school expectations with the families expectations!

New school theme alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Last year our theme was to #LevelUpEES. All teachers, students, and families took this theme to heart and we improved in almost every category! After a great year one we have no choice but to take things to the “NEXT LEVEL”! #NEXTlevelEES

Can’t believe Eric Schwartz and I are entering year 2! I am so proud of our year 1 turnaround and how every teacher and student was all in for our #LevelUpEES theme! We improved in every category! The data speaks for itself! Now it’s time to take it to the NEXT LEVEL in 2023!

A1: Many of our Ss are in rural areas that have been massively hit by the last two hurricanes. Emotionally, it’s very taxing on them. Some have been without power for days. It’s our job to welcome them back with open arms and let them get back into some routine. #edchatafterdark

Spot on brotha!!! As school leaders we need to show grace to our teachers as well. They too have gone through a traumatic experience! #edtechafterdark

A3: Assessing the needs of the community first then taking action! We know our families will be needing food and toiletries during the current flood situation so we are creating a food pantry on campus. There are many local organizations that want to help we just need to ask!

A1: Leaders should strive to give their Ss and families an overall amazing experience that they will tell their friends and families about! Just like when they leave an amusement park. This then becomes your schools story! A school that kids want to go to and Ts want to work at!

A2: Be willing to change things up based on your students needs. If no one is riding a ride anymore chances are it’s going to be put out of service and a new one will take its place.
