When a student shows you a glimpse of their potential…. #hardworkwins

Two hours in…this is one of the best PDs I’ve ever been a part of. Speaks to your heart if you’re in education and want to connect with your students, faculty, and staff.

When I was younger we’d have rice and those ten count can biscuits for a meal. I knew when I saw this meal money was beyond stretched. #favoritemeals #whatsyournarritive

I failed 6th grade English. However, because my coaches, teachers, and administrators did not give up on me, I am now the principal of that school where I failed my only class. #whatsyournarrative

As educators be meaningful and purposeful in all that you do and say because young kids are always watching.

How bout them Rebels!

“65% of my students are proficient” is not knowing your data. Knowing what the students need to become proficient based on the results IS. Know your students. Set a course. Make it happen!

I need help. We can make it a simple process.

We have to be reflective to understand the favorable and unfavorable realities in our classrooms and buildings. If we’re not reflecting learning becomes stagnant and your building (teachers) become complacent.

We have some pretty amazing students and teachers at RMS! #theGOLDstandard waaytv.com/news/russellvi…
