She asked to go “be the president” this week. It makes me sad that these opportunities at @TheMagicHouse are no longer available for our daughters and sons to dream of big possibilities.

We believe lowering barriers to teacher mobility will help with school staffing shortages. @NAESP is proud to have helped create a draft Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, which is open for public comment. Learn more and offer your feedback: compacts.csg.org/compact-update… #NAESP22

“You cannot win in education. You need an infinite mindset. You must prioritize the future.” @simonsinek 🙌#NAESP22


This is everything.

@simonsinek discusses how an infinite mindset helps schools understand that you may be the best “right now” but in an infinite game, you cannot be obsessed with rankings at #NAESP22

@simonsinek If we truly believe we are building the future and being a teacher is an act of civil service, we need to promote the “right” metrics, not just the “easy” metrics of test scores? How can we measure more than just the “easy test” scores? #NAESP22

Schools obsessed with rankings can take priorities away from students and staff to keep their rankings. @simonsinek @NAESP @INPLI1 #IPLI #NAESP22

When we make people around us feel valued, we improve our relationships in work cultures. Leadership has nothing to do with rank. Leaders make people feel seen and heard.-@simonsinek #NAESP22

“The dangerous part of education is copying. Be very careful that you don’t copy the superficial and avoid the deep down culture stuff. The relationships. Good leaders become obsessed with understanding the nuances of relationships” @simonsinek @NAESP @INPLI1 #IPLI #NAESP22

“Decisions shouldn’t be made for what is good for the metric (i.e. test scores), but what is good for the teachers and kids.” @simonsinek, @NAESP, #NAESP22
