I stand for a lot, but when it comes to being a Principal, this is some of what I stand for!
- All kids are awesome!
- All kids want to succeed, it's our job to help them find their way!
- High fives are fun!
- Leave any bad emotions in your car, kids deserve the best everyday!
- No kid should be hungry, buy lunch for those that need it!
- I don't take myself too serious, show kids you're a real person, they'll appreciate that!- Do things in your school with high KDI factor, make them excited to learn!
- Connecting my school with other schools makes us both better - Twitter blows the doors off Open House, share the #eduawesome everyday!
- Student voice is the most powerful voice of all, put them out in front to lead the charge!
- You or your teachers will NEVER fully know or understand all the technology, don't try. Empower your teachers and then students to be creative innovative thinkers and cut them loose.
- Connecting parents to your school and classrooms is paramount. Bring the learning to them and get them engaged, they'll work harder for the community and you'll build amazing school culture!
- Twitter works, hands down. Get your entire staff Tweeting to share and collaborate, trust me!
- Empower teachers to be leaders and make decisions!
The posters below hang in my office, constant reminders are important!
