Angry/Passionate/Difficult parents are my favorite. Today I had the hardest convo I’ve ever had with a parent, & by the grace of God I think we both landed on our feet at the end of it.

Just caught a headline that the “No Fun League” (NFL) won’t let teams have Bluesky accounts. 😂

I recently got $18k of Evidence Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI) training approved for my school. All teachers and the principal will complete the training. #phonics #scienceofreading #literacy #edusky #teachersky #k8principal

Tough day. I had to give one of my teachers an improvement plan. They’re only in their 2nd year of teaching. It’s our first year together. I genuinely want to see & help them succeed, but they aren’t sure they have what it takes. Hoping they stick around long enough to get the support they need.

It has been a wild week for me; two snow days and a power outage. At least I’m getting this contacting parents thing down. 🤷♂️

The Lions are one of the NFL's oldest franchises, yet they have zero Super Bowl appearances.
Could this be the season they win it all?

We were supposed to return from winter break on Monday, but we’re on our 2nd snow day in a row with more freezing temps in sight. I need to study up on calamity days and make a plan to survive the weather the next week. What are other schools doing? #ohio #snowday #calamityday #edusky #k8principal

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: A short pass from a goalkeeper. Sounds harmless enough, right? It is considered the most dangerous pass in soccer.
We analyzed the risk and reward behind the pass that drives fans wild. nyti.ms/4gJ4ZzU

“Just as it would be absurd for a team at any level to compete w/out being coached throughout the game, it’s equally absurd for school leaders to ‘send teachers into the classroom to compete ‘w/out coaching them throughout the course of the school year.” - New book by @principalkafele.bsky.social

As a principal,
I just LOVE hearing parents say, “it’s been going on all year” but there’s no communication trail proving they ever brought it up to teachers or admin. Talk. To. Your. Leaders. #edusky #k8principal
