Monday Moanin Thoughts #225 Thank You Principals, Things I Appreciate

October 2016 is the time that we celebrate all Principals during National Principal’s Month.  What a perfect time  to write about what a great job they do in leading their buildings and how much I appreciate their efforts. Listed below are the things I appreciate about them and job they do daily.

• The way they provide recognition of students and staff.
• How they support and encourage teachers with new ideas and strategies.
• Their ability to understand good instruction.
• How they visit classrooms and encourage students to do their best.
• The passion and hunger they bring on a daily basis.
• How they accept total responsibility for their buildings. They own it.
• Their communication skills and how they use different strategies to get their message out.
• Their enjoyment of kids and how their decisions are made with the kids in mind.
• How they lead with humility and treat everyone with respect.
• Their ability to provide hope and humor for everyone in their school community.

Bravo to all of you and thank you for your talent, energy , and skills.

Have a great week and find the good stuff.
