Is your building collaboration really collaborative, or is it just cooperation or coordination? We need to strive for collaboration to best serve our students. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


As with any tool, within education or otherwise, walk throughs and feedback are most effective when used properly. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


Essential standards need to be discussed in a vertical format. What are the key pieces of knowledge students need to know moving forward each year? #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


A good instructional leader will approach what they do with curiosity and the mindset of a learner. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


A building leader needs to be intentional with their time. If not, it's too easy to get bogged down in managerial tasks that take away from some of the bigger rocks. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


A good instructional leader needs to be a life-long learner...always growing their skill set so that they may help others. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


Principals are both a manager and a leader. A good principal will know when each role is needed. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


Curriculum is delivered to ALL students. As a school leader you want to ensure it is the best it can be. #ucmoedlead @BryanMcDonaldPD


You must "make time to do the work" to implement a school improvement plan. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead

To become a school that uses data, you need to establish an effective data leadership team. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


Be sure to look at (or obtain) the right data when trying to focus in on the true "why" of an issue. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


With struggling students, remember to look at what you can do, not just what they aren't doing. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


As a building leader, you need to be present. Be out in the halls and classrooms. Project the culture you want in the building. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


To best help your students, you need to look at more than just how they do with student learning/academics. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


Data analysis is more than just crunching numbers. You need to look beyond/behind the numbers and ask why they are what they are. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


Student placement: Don't overload a teacher with a certain type of student just because they are good at working with them. Other teachers won't grow and that teacher may get overwhelmed. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


The results of a school are a function of its processes. If you want different results, you need to adjust/revise the processes. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


Student data: If assessment data is only being used for scores, you are missing the real value in what you have. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead


If we want to know what people think, we need to ask them. Don't assume they will always tell you how they feel when you are looking for perceptual data. @BryanMcDonaldPD #ucmoedlead
