It’s the acts of caring, kindness and support (associated with these words) that move leaders in the direction of “good” to “great”!
Great reminder as a new school year begins…
Nurturing, patience, empathy, compassion and kindness are all key factors, as we support and celebrate the differences in the growth of our students!
Things boldly inclusive leaders do to create cultures where diverse teams flourish, maximizing potential & recognizing inclusive leadership as a journey.

I will be entering the final week of my career, as an educator, on Monday.
Thirty years have passed so quickly, but I hope I have made a difference for at least some, that will last as long or longer!
I love being a teacher!!! I will always be a teacher at heart!❤️
Effective and impactful leadership involves so much more than management.
True leadership tends to focus on people (and supporting their growth) while management addresses things.

Every day, educators look beyond children’s behavioral challenges, opening up a window into the true reality of root causes.
Sincere thanks to all educators who take the time to really get to know, understand and build caring relationships with their students!
Monitoring the 5 Ps will create buyin for a shared vision, develop mutual trust, ignite staff enthusiasm and commitment, and create a system of continuous leadership improvement. Leaders have a responsibility to help create a culture that is engaging, innovative, and productive.
Feeling genuinely appreciated lifts people up.
Being valued and appreciated helps us reinforce a positive sense of self-worth.
At the most basic level, it makes us feel safe, which is what frees us to do our best work.

, sharing gratitude for all teachers who continue to work so hard through the ongoing challenges of this pandemic!
Recognizing the invisible, but very real workload of a teacher…
Our priority, as educators, is the whole child!
Transformational learning can happen when students feel raised up, valued and respected!
Knowing who they are and supporting who they are becoming go hand-in-hand!

Leadership is not about having a title.
It’s about service, influence, and inspiration.
Titles don’t earn loyalty, trust, or respect. Only supportive behavior will accomplish that.

@jedipadmaster
reminds us to be sensitive to this reality for some (or more) of our students…as we listen with our hearts…
Servant-leaders focus on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong, helping people develop and perform as highly as possible, instead of prioritizing the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top of the pyramid”.

Living life from a place of growing mental strength/wellness, people are able to…
Great leaders make a difference in other people’s lives!
They possess self-awareness, garner credibility, focus on relationship-building, have a bias for action, exhibit humility, empower others, stay authentic, become role models and are fully present.
Raising people up is not only servant leadership,
it is a significant part of our primary calling in this life!
It is about healing, empowering and loving!
Let’s embrace some of the many ways to brighten up a student's day, such as being truly present, greeting students by name, fostering independence and giving them fresh starts. Thank you for the

When you lead a group of people who are passionate about their work and committed to a common goal, it is incredibly gratifying to see them achieve even more than they thought they could and know you have played a role in their success.

Making mental health a priority is as important for our kids as it is for adults!
As a new school year dawns, our children’s learning success and their positive sense of self is, in part, dependent on their mental health.
Here are some support suggestions…
Our response to our experiences in life is what helps to ‘define’ our authentic selves…
who we are, what we believe and how we move forward!
Therein lies our power!
I was just in contact with a teacher who feels so overwhelmed this year and wants to quit teaching. My heart hurts for all educators who are suffering because of the challenges of this school year!
YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!❤️
YOU ARE APPRECIATED! ❤️
I BELIEVE IN YOU! ❤️
