We are so happy to have celebrated with the graduates of Kilmer Center School today! @KilmerCenter #FCPSgrad23
The more you repeat a behavior, the more you reinforce the identity associated with that behavior. — @JamesClear
In honor of Black History Month, Region 2 celebrates the contributions of our Black Principals as they represent modern day history makers impacting their students, staff, and communities.
Effective leaders get out of the office and seek out informal feedback. Less effective principals have dozens of reasons for not visiting classrooms daily, or at least weekly. From What Great Principals Do Differently by @ToddWhitaker
This was a great recommendation from colleagues at work. The idea of caste was new to me, but fascinating to learn about. A worthwhile read for sure. Makes me see things so differently...
Just completed this one after reading her article with the same title. So many new learnings for me.
Five Ways to Transform Team Culture 1. Communicate Clearly/Consistently 2. Get Rid of Gossip 3. Resolve Disagreements 4. Build a Shared Purpose 5. Address Incompetence
If you don't communicate it - you can't get mad at your team for not knowing it . . .
This is an oldie but goodie—helping to explain things I didn’t know about. Fascinating details about people’s experiences which are helpful to see.
Just finished this fascinating historical account. Lots of learning in here, opening my eyes to things more and more.
Awesome read. Learned a lot from him as a speaker and author (and cancer survivor!). So much more to learn to be a better leader in this area.
Fascinating true story about the hunt for and sale of falcon eggs across the world. Leadership connection—do things that full your bucket, and use your talents for good, not evil.
You know what's not important? Whether or not students have shoes on during a Zoom call. #remotelearning
Most hiring mistakes I’ve made happened when I went with quadrant ‘C’ over quadrant ‘B’. Clearly, we want team members who are teachable AND talented, but if you have to pick one...pick TEACHABLE! 💬 @DanielTardy
What a summer read—such a sad story. The leadership lesson for me: tell the truth, act decisively, and follow up thoroughly.
Some good WFH advice here: - Create a "commute" -- a short period to transition from home to work. - Design a closing ritual to mark the day's end. - Focus on your daily "must win." - Schedule & protect uninterrupted heads-down time. hbr.org/2020/08/how-to…
Others: What are you doing Friday night? Teachers:
Teaching standards—without first showing students what you want them to be able to know and do—is like asking kids to complete a jigsaw puzzle, but you won’t show them the picture on the cover of the box. #atplc
Keys to Good Communication Be Consistent... Nothing frustrates team members more than leaders who can’t make up their minds.
John W. Gardner said, “If I had to name a single all-purpose instrument of leadership, it would be communication.”

The best teachers have 3 things in common: they are all about the kids; they are relentless about getting better; and they bring good energy into their classroom. .
Effective leaders get out of the office and seek out informal feedback. Less effective principals have dozens of reasons for not visiting classrooms daily, or at least weekly. From What Great Principals Do Differently by @ToddWhitaker
I'm experimenting with minimalism.
As someone who coaches principals a lot, I can vouch for this. The principalship is a tough, tough job, and the impact is immeasurable. It’s November, and I’m #Thankful for all the school leaders out there grinding and doing right by kids, adults, and their communities. Read on:
Research has confirmed that effective principals drive student growth through strong instructional leadership and coaching skills. Effective principal coaches are part of that school transformation. Via @educationweek edweek.org/leadership/opi…
"The courage to start. The discipline to focus. The confidence to figure it out. The patience to know progress is not always visible. The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days. That's the formula." — @ShaneAParrish
Breaks aren't a sign of weakness. They're a marker of strength. And even microbreaks -- those that last less than 10 minutes -- can restore energy and boost well-being. Link: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
#Principals, on release days, instead of saying "No school - PD day," change your sign to "No school today, educators are learning, so students will learn more." This is a chance to inform your community and even some teachers that professional learning is valuable. 🗣️
Thanks Joe, I see lots of nodding heads around the circle. Let's move this from a conversation for possibility to a conversation for action. Who is going to be the "A" (accountable person) on this task between now and the next time we meet?
It's time American public school teachers got a raise.
Tuesday communication wisdom from John Sherman:

Good bye @FCPSR2 Your unconditional support for the last 14 years made it possible for me to do what I love the most, helping schools improve instruction for all kids!
