Excited for a day of learning about AI in the classroom today!

I love this approach to the Steve Jobs quote... Stop trying to be a better manager. It might be killing your leadership potential.

I’m so proud of Mr. Langendoerfer for being recognized as an Outstanding Beginning Teacher by Mizzou & the MO Association of Colleges for Teacher Education! We were lucky to have him student teach for us 3 years ago and now he is having a successful 2nd year at TJ! #TheTJWay

How to be successful (according to the Stoics): 1. Do the hard thing first 2. Be ruthless to things that don’t matter 3. Attack the dawn 4. Strict with yourself, tolerant with others 5. Always do the right thing 6. Practice, practice, practice

TJMS is getting renovated soon, which means our hallway traffic flow will have to change during construction. We started practicing the new routines with students today and can’t wait to see our school transformation start soon! #TheTJWay

I’ve committed to reading a professional book once a month this year. Here’s my March read that’s underway!

“A good leader isn't the one that has all the answers. The good leader is the one who goes first and has empathy because they've done it.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-b…

What a fun meet season for Quinn and her team! We are grateful for the coaches at JC Gymnastics ❤️

They don’t fly or shoot lasers, but they do survive lunch duty, process referrals, and wield a walkie like a boss. This NATIONAL ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS WEEK, we salute the real action figures keeping the chaos in check—cape not included (but probably deserved).

So proud of the TJ Special Olympics Team for their participation in and 1st place finish at today’s Special Olympics Track Meet at Russellville High School!! #TheTJWay 🥇

I bought the TJMS Leadership Team bamboo plants at the beginning of the year so we could see who could grow the biggest plant throughout the year. Today was the big reveal, and Mrs. Hankins was our green thumb winner! So much fun bonding with this team of leaders!

The TJ Choir put on a great spring concert last night! #TheTJWay

Today was the last day at TJMS for all of us! It was fun having both my kids in the same building for a year. 💙

My latest read has lots of leadership lessons! “Ultimately, this is one of the manager’s biggest responsibilities: to make sure people who are trying and working hard have what they need to succeed.” #UnreasonableHospitality
