A1: Less is more. Choose one topic and build a compelling why, the solution and pay special attention to emotions. Don’t forget you are the expert! #leadlap

I was reminded that if we’re lucky we can do things within our control in a time that feels chaotic. Inspired by one line I felt driven to write. #leadlap @bethhouf.bsky.social @burgessdave.bsky.social @jaybilly2.bsky.social The Work We Hold Onto- takeittotheclassroom.wordpress.com/2025/02/28/t...

A3: Keep helping students and staff navigate hard topics by taking time to listen and talk through concerns. #leadlap

Beth Houf @bethhouf.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
A3: Keep celebrating and embracing diversity, equity, equality, inclusion, belonging, and the belief that we are truly better together. These words and practices have been weaponized and the effects are already crushing. #leadlap

A2) when kids are influenced by what they hear without fully grasping the depth of what they are saying we have the responsibility to teach them to honor ALL human beings and although this should not be political our current reality can make it challenging to guide these conversations #leadlap

Beth Houf @bethhouf.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
A2: The hardest thing has been the normalization of hate/bullying/rudeness that can spill over to students. The modeling of leadership matters so much. #leadlap

A2: It’s been heartbreaking to see the national attack on education. There are so many amazing things happening in our schools that are overshadowed by a false narrative. Such an important time to be an advocate. #leadlap
