Harvard research shows 3 keys for effective schools: 1) Relationships, 2) Aligned Standards Based Curriculum, and 3) Pedagogy (engagement, expectations, etc.). Which one of the 3 isn't working as it should in your own organization? -Dr. Tiffany Anderson #ASCDLeadershipSummit

A truth that should never be negotiable…

If you have a coach, teacher, parent or mentor who holds you accountable you are blessed. Too many leaders shy away from confrontation and accept low standards with minimal expectations. If someone pushes you for greatness you have someone who truly cares about you & loves you.

Some of the kindest people have experienced significant challenges in their lives…but still choose to believe in goodness and share compassion/tenderness. ❤️

Reflecting this morning on last night’s Elementary Festival Concert. We packed the house and presented an amazing evening of music. These pictures of our audience showcases the parent and guardian support for their children. Bakersfield City School District #teambcsd
