Teaching may be the toughest job, but principal may be the loneliest job. They're in a constant tug of war between mandates, directives, & expectations of the district and the needs & support for teachers. It's important for districts & staff to show appreciation and support.

Nobody said leadership would be easy. But when we make decisions that are in the best interest of kids, it makes it all worth it. Schools don’t exist so adults can have jobs. Schools exist for kids.

Some students need you to believe in them until they believe in themselves. Some adults do, too!

It's not the quantity of communication that is key, but the clarity of communication. In fact, we often over communicate because we lack clarity. This is true whether it is meetings, emails, individual conversations, etc.

3 expectations to set the cultural tone of your staff for the new school year 1) Be your Best, whatever your role, do your best 2) No Surprises. If something is wrong, I want to hear it from you, not grapevine 3) We support each other. We're a team, not competitors

Principals, stock up on Post-it notes for fall! When you visit classrooms, leave a post-it note on their desk telling them how lucky their students are to have them & share something you learned or enjoyed about the visit. I call them "Post-its of Praise"

If a formal observation is the first time you are in a teachers classroom, then put the evaluation form away. Just observe the greatness of your teacher, then leave a note of thanks, praise or encouragement. Relationships first!

"What if every teacher felt seen and valued? What if they felt supported by an incredible team who always has their back? How might that change the teacher recruitment and retention crisis we now face?" Great stuff from @AllysonApsey in #LeadingTheWholeTeacher

Homework does little to improve achievement and can actually have negative effects, especially at elementary level. Recess however has many positive effects such as improved self regulation of emotions, improved interpersonal skills and focus! And should never be taken away.

Teacher evaluations should be more aspirational this year: How are you doing? What do you think we are doing well? What is an area we can improve? How can I best support you right now? What professional goals can we help you achieve? This shows you value them as professionals.
