Welcome to the new site!
I became an administrator a little over a year ago. Never did I even imagine all that goes on behind the scenes of a school. Man my eyes have been opened! As I was driving home the other day, I thought about the fact that there are many elements to education that people don’t understand…
If you know much about me, you know I love music. Always have. One of my favorite vocalists is Natalie Grant. I feel like I’ve grown up with her. I still remember attending a KSBJ Brown Bag (free) concert at a Chik-Fil-A when she was just releasing her debut album and being in awe. And…
Well I’ve just completed my second week with kids at Webb Elementary. I’ve held off on writing these first two weeks for a bunch of reasons. These first two weeks were filled with amazingness. They were filled with awesome lessons from teachers, great interactions with kids and families, and exciting moments in the hallways and…
This summer has been a true summer of learning for me. One in which I learned the most from examples that others around me set. And as I took those lessons and started changing the ways I did some things in my life, I figured it could be good to share a few of those…
Ever since I was in High School, I’ve always admired Ron Clark. He’s been someone who has inspired me, and was one of the reasons I knew teaching was for me. Almost 3 years ago I was afforded the opportunity to attend the Ron Clark Academy. It was an absolutely incredible opportunity. One that still…
I’ve always prided myself in the fact that when I blog I try to share a real and honest portrayal of education and who I am. I’ve been passionate about sharing the good as well as the bad. So today it’s time for me to share…. If you’ve been following this blog for any amount…
Almost two weeks ago I was talking with Jeff Herb on Voxer and he mentioned that he would love to see my new school sometime. While traditionally that would mean a trip from Illinois to Texas (which still isn’t out of the question), a new tool has emerged that has enabled video broadcasting to anyone…
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a unique experience. I’ve been able to attend several conferences where the audience was primarily education/school leaders. Now before I go any further, let me make sure to state that I feel every single person on a school campus is a leader in one capacity or another….
Just the other day this video come across my Facebook feed. I was so emotionally impacted by the message and the powerful story, I couldn’t help but think about the parallels that exists in education. This is such a powerful video. Without saying much, it says a lot. I had to share.Posted by Frankie J…
While driving today I heard this song, and the lyrics rang so incredibly true to where I am right now. It’s a song called “Brave” by Nichole Nordeman. The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in Welcome to the middle ground You’re safe…
As I sit on the flight back home to Houston, after spending an incredible week in Long Beach for NAESP, I keep having the same thoughts I do after most conferences or interactions with my peers. I need to do better. For years I’ve connected, traveled, and learned from others from all over the world….
This is co-written by Adam Welcome and Todd Nesloney and cross-posted on both of their blogs. Relationships for Principals have always and will continue to be of utter importance, it’s the catalyst of our work! This week at NAESP (#naesp15) has brought so many different ideas to the forefront, especially after our opening keynote from…
