The very essence of leadership is having vision. - Father Theodore Hesburg

Implementing Vision: Frequent & diverse revisits to the WHY. Practical help & mentoring in the HOW. Clear expectations of the common outcomes that reflect the WHAT. #ChaseGoals #GoldenCircle

“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will lead you there.” - Cheshire Cat (Alice in Wonderland)

Shout out to my educator friends out there! Also I also suspect this applies to other groups as well.

I love the opportunities WRES students have to be creative in the Wiregrass Innovation Factory. #FocusOnLearning #LikeNoOther

“If each person looks to get just ‘one thing’ every day; one real, dynamic, powerful thing each day that adds something to their quality of life ... we’d be a better more developed people.” - Rod Karr

“Performance development must equip, inspire, and improve performance.” - Gallup. Are we doing this as leaders? Frequently? With every team member?

Great leaders know how to be both commanding & collaborating AND they know the right time to do each.

A great manager works to make today great. A great coach works to make tomorrow great. A great leader works to make next week great. The best do all three well.

WRES staff are learning about how to dive deep in the data to learn the story of a student and how to respond. Thank you Courtney Lough for sharing your expertise with the Bulls.

I’m so thankful for Todd Cluff and his challenge to keep us pursing the “Love of Learning” for all students! We CAN do this. We MUST do this.

“It’s not about how wrong we’ve been in the past. It’s about how we can be more right moving forward.” - Tom Schimmer

There is a difference between practice and the game, between rehersal and the performance. Formative Assessment and how we give feedback matters when it comes to Summative Assessment because #PurposeMatters.

Wiregrass Elementary is planning a great school year kickoff using Blanco Brown’s Git Up Challenge. BlancoTheEar, if you are in the Tampa Area on Monday the 5th, would you like to be a part of this fun? It’s for the children. 😀

The WRES staff is engaged in Professional Devlopment for teachers by teachers this morning as the team who went to the Behavior Institute share their learning and apply it for our school. #GrowthMindset #ClimbingHigher

5th grade scholars at WRES are learning about figurative language in a super-engaging way this week in a Fear Factor environment. Working alongside innovative educators who engage learners in amazing ways is a big part of why I’m a school leader. #GratefulPrincipal @POEKPOE

I am grateful that WRES is a team oriented school. We are better together! #GratefulPrincipal @POEKPOE
