Bill Withers was a true American master. His music, rooted in the everyday joys and sorrows of working people, was soulful, wise and life-affirming––a perfect tonic for hard times. open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9d…

SALUTE TO THE SCHOOL SECRETARIES OUT THERE - I don't think there's a principal alive who wouldn't attribute a great deal of his/her own success to the behind the scenes work of a great secretary. Salute to the secretaries out there who are holding it down for their principals.

Teacher friends: our world has been flipped upside down & we’re a tad busy 🙃🤪 If you’re using Zoom to connect with Ss, go through your settings! It takes some time. Here’s my cheat sheet to get you started (but be sure to check out Zoom’s resources too). We got this! 🙌🤓🎥

Let’s be real: it’s prob better this way. I was one more heartbreaking loss away from ending up in the hospital. Louisville pounding #UNC may be a weird form of mercy

“Hopefully we can agree that writing has significant potential to help students learn those ‘other content areas’. Like speaking and listening, writing isn’t ‘one more thing to teach’ but rather a tool to help students learn whatever it is you’re teaching.”bit.ly/32UJia2

Interesting read about research based strategies... “The problem is, without the macro-picture of instructional design, they are simply contextual-less, singular items.”

Don't underestimate yourself, there's already enough people around you doing that. This year take control of your situation whatever it is fully, don't hold back and believe in yourself. Whatever you want to accomplish work toward it and then conquer it. Happy New Year U Amazn U!


A great story that sums up my admiration and respect for Coach Williams.

This is what makes the program, as a whole, special. The Carolina family isn’t a promotional brand, it’s honest-to-God loyalty and love.



So proud of the work our middle school MTSS leaders engaged in today! Problem solving for ALL kids was in full force. Building capacity across OCS and lifting this work together is inspiring. ⁦@BulldogAcademy_⁩ ⁦@GHMS_Grizzlies⁩ ⁦@CWSMS_STEM

Great leaders are comfortable saying "I don't know" while also having the willingness to learn for themselves and for others. - "Stop Pretending You Know When You Don’t" via @Leadershipfreak buff.ly/2XTseQp
