Big change doesn’t always take big time. A 5-minute check-in can shift trust, build culture, and open the door for deeper connection with your staff. Appreciate the Principal Project team for helping share this simple but powerful leadership practice I use every day. #SchoolCulture

A2: When I walk through classrooms the first weeks of school, I hope I see or hear students engaged, teachers building relationships, and learning that feels relevant and real. That’s how we set the tone early. #PrincipalOfficeHours

Be visible, be real, and build trust early. Pair them with strong mentors, check in often, and remind them they don’t have to be perfect, they just have to keep growing. #PrincipalOfficeHours

A4: One way I strive to cultivate a culture of belonging for ALL staff and students? We lead with GRACE: Guiding Relationships, Resilience, Action, Commitment, and Excellence. It’s more than a theme, it’s how we move together every day. #PrincipalOfficeHours

Dr. VaShawn Smith ΦΒΣ (@drvsmith) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A5: Stay anchored in your purpose, communicate with clarity, and don’t rush the process, transformation takes trust. The culture won’t shift overnight, but consistency wins every time. #PrincipalOfficeHours

A6: We’re approaching AI as a tool for efficiency & empowerment. From helping teachers plan lessons & differentiate instruction to showing students how to use it ethically for brainstorming & revision AI isn’t replacing the work it’s elevated how we do it. #PrincipalOfficeHours

Dr. VaShawn Smith ΦΒΣ (@drvsmith) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A8: The first day/week of school will feel like a success if I see students feeling seen, staff walking in purpose, and the building buzzing with energy and belonging. That’s how we know we’re starting strong. #PrincipalOfficeHours
