I started my blog in August of 2022. I’m proud of the progress that I have made and thankful for each person that takes the time to read my thoughts. mylifeineducation.school.blog

Yesterday a homeless gentleman showed up on our property (outside) to find a spot to charge his phone. Concerned parents called, and I found him outside smoking a cigarette & drinking a beer. This is urban school reality. #edusky #urbanteaching #principalsky #k8principal
This time of year, teachers are having to dig deep to find enough energy to push through until winter break. Principals, how are you supporting your teachers right now to make sure they can make it?

Am I the only one who packs an hour before I’m supposed to be at the airport? 🤷🏾♂️😂 #BlackSky #BlackEduSky #EduSky #PrincipalSky

We celebrated #InclusiveSchoolsWeek with an amazing presentation by our special ed facilitator to educate our staff on the vision to include all students. Students have been painting rocks that will adorn our school garden.

Tomorrow the teachers return. The students will definitely be there. And what have I done all break?!?! Not a damn thing. Let me get up and prepare everyone for the week! #NotYourAveragePrincipal #EduSky #BlackEduSky #BlackSky #PrincipalSky
My favorite subject in school was always Social Studies! As I got older I became more intrigued about history and how certain things shape current day! Ready to connect #EduSky #BlackEduSky #PrincipalSky #LeadEduSky
Growth sometimes means leaving people behind. Even those you love!

I plan to find ways to protect my students and their families, continue to offer wraparound services, and to stand up to those seeking to harm them.
I'll continue to educate my staff on the importance of compassionate and empathetic teaching, keeping all of our students in mind.

I’m not your average principal. Sometimes I do things out of the ordinary because I’ll get bored with this work. Check out our professional development a few weeks ago focused on “Intentional Collaboration.” #DrHSpeaks #EduSky #BlackEduSky #PrincipalSky

The cover of the book Leading with Intention by Spiller and Power
Over the long weekend I'm going to set my phone aside to finish these 2 books.
What are other principals reading these days? I'm always looking for excellent recommendations!

Teachers and staff, some of our students are going home during the break and will not have much to celebrate. Let's remember our intentions and spread as much love as possible. #EduSky #PrincipalSky
The little things matter! #EduSkyChat #PrincipalSky
I use to be a busy body and on the go! I appreciate staying home #EduSkyChat #PrincipalSky
A2: Plan ahead. Inform the wife and kids on these days we will see family, spend time with each other, but I have to have my time. That may include going to the gym, watching the games, or maybe just taking a REAL NAP for once. LOL #EduSkyChat #PrincipalSky
Please share with the people how do you balance your time. What does management and delegation look like in your school? Do you have any tips to share for new admin or people thinking of becoming an administrator? #EduSky #PrincipalSky
Thank you! I really enjoy collaborating about education broadly, but definitely have been looking for a place specifically for principals.

To quote Hamilton (poorly), I recognize I get to be in some rooms where it happens, that many others do not. I feel a great obligation and responsibility to be a voice for those who are not there. Those end up being some amazing convos with decision-makers.

In what capacity am I influencing education is a great question that I actually ask myself multiple times each month.
I understand I work for a #EdTech company. I understand some things are free, and everyone can't buy everything for everyone.

My current role is Global Strategy for Education Sales at #MicrosoftEDU focused on #Azure, #AI, and our cloud solutions. It's about connecting company goals with #education industry needs globally with #student success (for all students) at the center.

I initially stepped away from #SpecialEducation to transition into admin. I felt that I could impact the kinds in my classroom but wanted to impact the program as a whole at a building or district level. While in that program, a door opened at #MicrosoftEDU.

Great Questions. Let me do my best to answer them.
#EduSky | #BlackEduSky | #PrincipalSky
In what capacity are you influencing education? What is your role? I saw the Special Education tag from your previous post. And then what was the breaking point for you to step away? #EduSky #BlackEduSky #Principalsky
Please share more. People are interested how they can still be connected to education. #EduSky #BlackEduSky #PrincipalSky
Those are strong factors! Everything is expensive and low salaries to do this work, just will not work!
#PayTheTeachers #EduSky #BlackEduSky #PrincipalSky
I think I did it. We have a home. Let's get this going. Where are all the principals? #PrincipalSky #LeadEduSky #EduSky #BlackEduSky
