As a building leader, one of the most empowering things you can do is believe in the things your teachers and students care about 💙

As a building leader, people don’t work ‘for’ you. YOU work for your people. They are there to make vision a reality with you. Get in the trenches with them if you want results.

BEYOND proud of the OMS Soaring Jazz Eagles for earning SUPERIOR at their Concert Performance Assessment and thankful I was able to go and watch! We love to see it 💙🦅💪 #AboveTheRest

We tell our teachers they can’t pour from an empty cup, & as building leaders we try to keep cups as full as possible. The same is true for building leaders, but there aren’t people filling our cups. Take care of your leadership teams and give the encouragement they also need.

Reminder: Positive relationships are built daily 💙 It’s no secret - teachers make a big impact on students & each other! Hear Principal Bentli Lewis's point of view on the role educators play in the lives of everyone on campus 🏫 #JostensRenaissance #SchoolCulture #TeacherGram

Leadership isn't about power or position—it’s about people. When we miss caring for them, we miss the mark of leadership. #LeadWithPeople

"It's not the size of what we do, but our urgency in doing it." - Gian Paul Gonzalez Watch this month's episode of All In on the power and impact of empathy on our website and let us know what you think! 📺 Watch now:🔗jostensrenaissance.com/character-and-… #Allin #Empathy

Remember that at the end of every day, every adult in your building is a person. Fight for that relationship with them, even on their bad days, and remind them that you’re a person too 💙

Never underestimate the power you carry to make a difference in someone else’s story. You don’t have to be the main character. You just have to be willing to show up. 🤍 #worthy #JRGC25 #RenTalk

The best thing we can do for people is love them where they’re at - no matter where that might be. This takes intentional thought and deep care, but everyone deserves a champion.

Just like our staffulty — principals are people, too. When we lead with love and show up for our staff, they show up for us. 💙 #SchoolLeadership #LeadWithHeart #MiddleSchoolPrincipal #Worthy
