SO COOL!! Not long ago I wrote a blog, “We Owe It to Our Teachers.” One pt. was, “We must capture them and provide support for them from the moment the HR department turns them loose.” Check out FB “Nimitz Mid Sch-NEISD” to see this how a princip. owns that suggestion. How cool!
This was such a surprise and I was so honored. Every person who spoke touched my life so much more than I could give to to him or her! Thank you.

The 2019-2020 Administrative Interns wishing Joe Reasons a fond farewell!! Mr. Reasons thank you for giving 50 years to Education! You will be missed! @execneisd @dr_maika @drdonnanewman @NEISD_rudyj @NEISD @RootEdSA @jjense1
WE OWE IT TO OUR TEACHERS! While teach’s work hard to close the year, others’ thoughts are fixed on the new year. New teachers will soon leave their colleges pumped to begin their careers. Are we ready to help them succeed? One man’s thoughts @: kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4
Most of us know about Gen. Patton’s 3 divisions making a 90 deg turn in snow and battle to help win the Battle of the Bulge. I’m so proud of how our teachers stopped dead in their tracks; with little warning, and valiantly tried to retool and bring lessons to kids in a new way.
I’ve had a lot of different job titles during my career in education. However, the one I prefer and the one that gives me the greatest source of pride by far is: “TEACHER.”
HOW DO WE BRING HONOR TO OUR PROFESSION? It’s always enjoyable to sit and talk to new students. Likewise, talking to new teachers and seeing them begin their careers is fun and exciting. It’s also a great time to bring a sobering topic of conversation. kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4
My kids will love their very own Flat Miss M!
A valiant effort so far by Intern and Mac Asst Prin Andrew Clarett who accepted the challenge to research how many eductrs have tested + for covid. So far no luck from CDC or Metro Hlth, but for some of us it is important. Classify them by gender AND prof. They track some.
TIME TO COME CLEAN! After 5 decades the end is in sight; could not have been better. One can’t help but have opinions, and dos and don’ts to follow. Mine have been disguised in kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4 Join me; argue with me; contribute and invite others if it’s at all useful.
It’s that time of year. Rumors are taking flight about opportunities, retirements, ant transfers. Interviews are being planned and theories abound about the perfect interview. Read one man’s opinion about how to kill it at: kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4
Zooming with the NEISD Administrative Interns!!! Great to hear from these budding administrators about leading through change! @NEISD @execneisd @dr_maika @drdonnanewman @NEISD_rudyj @anthonytjarrett @NEISDLeads @RootEdSA
My daughter is making the most of this beautiful weather and distance learning. She may never want to go back to an enclosed classroom. @NEISDAthletics @execneisd @IKEAthletics @IKE_PTA @IkeAcademics @CoachJGarciaIII @CoachJGrams @IKECoachO @NEISD
KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND GO FOR IT! As leaders, how do our personal beliefs and what we value affect our schools’ culture. One person believes it is critical in order to have a healthy, productive school. Read more kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4 #leaders #beliefs #values #leadership
THE POWER OF A TEACHER...Lest we never forget! If you are an educational leader or aspire to lead, I encourage you to read the work below! Especially in advance of August Leadership where we hope you will learn much, much more!
SAME LOOK; DIFFERENT VIEW! So are cowboys and cattle drives not your thing? How is organizational leadership like a hockey game? Check it out at: kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4
Referenced this book a few weeks ago. I believe in the ideas therein. The coach’s philosophy is built on 14 non-negot. prncipals. Two are: NO SHAMING ANY STUDENT EVER, ATHLETE OR NOT; NO PLAYER WILL ALLOW ANY STUDENT TO EAT ALONE! How might these ideas help your stud’s?
I found this today on L’nked In. Principals, find your “irreplaceables;” tell them and treat them accordingly. Find the right balance for them so they have time to work their magic.
Do you like what you do in and for your profession? Hopefully we all do but to be as effective as one desires, at least one person feels an individual must have a healthy RESPECT for the job. Is there truly a difference? Check out: kurtwordsmith47.wixsite.com/website-4
