- When students see, hear, and feel positivity, the more likely they will thrive in school.
- Allowing a student to retake an assessment communicates you believe in them and their ability to do better.
- A mentor once told me...schools should not be places where students go to watch a teacher work.
- Many schools are starting the hiring process- “If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.” ― Simon Sinek #TheTenMinutePrincipal
- The school principal sets the tone for a school. A tone of intentional risk-taking and innovation or a tone of rigid compliance. It is the principal who can stifle creativity, imagination, and risk-taking or empower staff to find their greatness…right now
- Allowing a student to retake an assessment communicates you believe in them and their ability to do better.
- I’ve read how to open schools from “experts” and the CDC ...don’t think they’ve been in schools..but I have..I’ve been a principal for 20 years..got some experience over the years ...if schools are expected to social distance....it’s not possible ..Don’t politicize our kids!
- Many schools are hiring staff for the new school year- Here’s a tip- “If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.” ― Simon Sinek
- This is a great message for students and adults! Take care of people and show others you care-
- An excellent reminder- Leadership is not a license to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more- Simon Sinek
- And no teacher wants to work with a miserable principal- Choose #positivity and figue our if those around you elevate you or hold you back #kidsdeserveit
