A principal visits every classroom every day. Visible leadership matters. So does giving teachers the space to teach. Teachers, please weigh in below. 👇 #EduSky #TeacherSky #Education #Teachers #Teaching #Teachables

In June, my son was in the ICU. It reminded me how little we know about the challenges others face. Empathy, kindness, & strong relationships matter. I share more about this experience & how it ties back to strategies from #Teachables.
