Without a doubt! A colleague of mine always said, build a system where students can't wait to get back tomorrow. I said, let's build that same kind of culture so staff can't wait to back tomorrow as well...A culture of Purpose! #JoeSRocks
Purpose is knowing why you do the work.
Obsession happens when you become so invested in the people you serve that you can’t wait to see what happens next.
Purpose gets you started. Obsession keeps you going. So pumped for the next 2 months. Let’s. Goooo!!!
#LeadFromWhoYouAre

Thank YOU Kim for being such an extraordinary part of our cohort of leaders! You are indeed a #CougSuperStar
I finished my final superintendent class this last weekend. Thank you to all involved for your support through my two year journey! Thank you WSU! This was an incredible two year leadership course. #GoCougs
A fundamental truth of leadership is that we actually know very little of the real challenges, either internal or external, in the lives of our teammates. The exceptional leader makes it their highest daily priority, in every interaction, to close that gap. #knowtheirstory
Spot on, good Dr! @inspiretheyouth We must take careful steps and hold powerful thoughts near for tomorrow. For we are today 'what we thought we would become' yesterday...
Morning Affirmation: Trust in yourself—it shapes the path you take. Keep moving forward, one step at a time. #GoodMorning
"Lies are not a problem". Spot-on! @tgrierhisd They only become a problem when we lack the courage to call them out. We suffer today from a deep "courage deficit." I was born and raised on a dairy farm...as such, I don't need to be standing in BS to know when it is nearby.
Spot-on! @unfoldthesoul Much like a financial budget, student data simply gives us a framework, a general trend, if you will. It is not a measure of one's passion, grit, dedication, talent and ability. Or how that talent and ability will ultimately be deployed.
Data may predict outcomes, but it doesn’t determine destiny. Start with the crown and defy the data — because our students are more than numbers.

Leading them 'Toward Victory!'
#Havardgetsit
We are often misled to believe that there is safety behind a typical managerial facade we display, When in reality to be truly authentic, humble, vulnerable, caring and empathetic is to have genuine impact and influence.
Spot-on @TimElmore! Our actions, support, kindness, influence and impact on others will be our Only legacy.
Spot-on @jonsrennie We have no prayer of leading those outside of us until we have fully embraced the servant within us.... We must become the servants we seek.
Spot-on @jonsrennie You can be promoted to management. You ascend to leadership.
121. True or False? (Robert Danielson) player.captivate.fm/episode/…
Spot-on @jonsrennie To complicate matters further, someone who is actually doing the work 'already has the solution' we seek. The solutions to the problems we face are, more often than not, found where the actual work is being done.
Spot on! It is "purpose personified" at its deepest level. #impactothers #itsaboutefficacy
Love this! Thinking of Coach Mark Few from Gonzaga Univ as he coaches the US Olympic team. You have to create not just a team, but a culture that 'everyone' wants to be a part of...players, parents, fans...do that and you have an incredible school, team, business, endeavor...
It's a favorite question I ask students following a class, reading, article, lesson, book study: "So whats becoming more clear to you?" Or, "So, what do you make of it?" As you might guess I learn a ton by reflecting on their reflections:-)
Happy to help sprinkle some joy on great teachers like @Mrs_MHink Because supporting great educators matter...today more than ever!
