Just read an article on “Supervising Principals,” by Saphier & Durkin (2011) at the @MCELLeaders conference. As a result, this is my interpretation of their structured check-in. #Can’tWait #LeadershipInAction #SchoolImprovement

I’m biased with this but I’m so proud of @DeKalbSchools Chief of Staff Harvey on his well-deserved selection @Eduinsidermag as “Top 10 Chief of Staff!” Native son of DeKalb, @The_Titan_Way alum, professional journey began as paraprofessional to now. I couldn’t do it without you!
