Admins: Go Big & Get Brave #MakeItHappen

What are principals and administrators doing in their offices? Do you know the names of all your students? Why isn’t Mrs. Wright smiling today? How come the balls didn’t get put out at recess? Who is telling the story of your school? What do you do when someone tells you “no”, but you know your “yes” is right for students? These are just a few of the questions we’ll walk through together during this dialogue about going big and getting brave. It’s up to YOU to make it happen for your school. Get out of your office, know your students, support your staff, and be the leader your school and district need. What are you waiting for?!
