Had a blast hanging at the @WhiteHouse this AM with @DWILLS0604, @ToddWhitaker, @ClassTechTips, @LaVonnaRoth, and Sarah Berman before #ASCD24. @ASCD

What a pleasure to present with the most knowledge person anywhere on the topic of school culture. @stevegruenert is a genius at understanding and leading a deep dive into culture. Thank you #ascd24 and Steve for letting me join the fun! #SchoolCultureRewired

Always inspired and energized by @Principal_EL. Awesome session on the commitment we have to our students as educators. #ascd24

“When you look in the mirror, are you doing what is best for kids? The mirror doesn’t lie.” @brewerhm is bringing the energy and passion to the #ascd24 stage. Wow.

The one & only @BLoveSoulPower. What a way to kick off #ASCD24!

😡 Whether it's the parent trashing you on social media ... 🔪 The AP who has gone behind your back ... 😈 Or the supervisor making your life a living hell ... #ASCD24 Here is some timeless advice nearly 2000 years old. "When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil." -Marcus Aurelius This is reality. It doesn't matter the industry or your station in life. People are difficult. From Calm in Chaos: Being a school administrator is one of the most rewarding careers that you could ever have. However, it’s also a position that brings you into constant contact with others who have their own agendas, priorities, needs, and vendettas. At best, you may find yourself occasionally at odds with genuinely good people who are just trying their best. At worst, though, you may find yourself facing off with characters who are meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, envious, and so much more. No matter how hard you work, no matter how much you’ve turned around a school/district, no matter how much heart and intentionality you put into your decisions, you will never be able to make everyone happy. Yet remember: You can only control you. No matter the circumstances, smile, be kind, and remind yourself of the main goal each day—making the staff’s and students’ lives better. You always have a choice about how you react to opposition and mistakes. You can react with impatience, assigning blame to others, or you can react with patience and understanding. You’ll do best to remember that you need the other people in your school. No one can be responsible for educating hundreds of students on their own! The only way this works is for everyone to work together. To that end, be the first person to share kindness with everyone in your school/district. Be the Chief Energy Officer (CEO), and make it your personal mission to reignite the inner love and empathy that everyone has inside of them. Was this post helpful?

Day 3 2024 ASCD Annual Conference Hamish Brewer, an award-winning principal and a disruptor who goes beyond the status quo, challenges norms in leadership and education. “You can’t serve someone you think you’re better than.” #ASCD24 @ASCD #readytolearn #ascd #schoolleadership

We had an amazing Sunday of learning @ASCD’s conference. This morning’s session with @LoriOczkus about reciprocal teaching has our brains full of ideas. 💚💙#GSCSRISE #GSCSELA #ASCD24

Is it accurate to measure our success based on how little conflict we have in our schools? Conflict is inevitable, and we can learn from embracing it as an opportunity to improve instead of viewing it as an obstacle. Thank you @JenSchwanke for leading a great session! #ASCD24

First time at ASCD. Having a great time and honored to speak about bridging access to rigor! Met some of my favorite thought leaders! #ASCD24

@LaurenMKaufman is leading a powerful session on leading with a coaching mindset! Applaud her work and the relationships she is building through the coaching process. #ascd24

Today at #ASCD24, our amazing district received the ASCD Distinguished District Award! The award recognizes the outstanding work in developing and empowering staff to enhance the learning experience for every student.

An absolute exhilarating & profound message from my guy @brewerhm this morning at the #ASCD24 General Session! . We danced, some cried and all were certainly inspired! 🔥🔥 . SN: I told him how I brag about him all the time from knowing each other while serving students in PWCS.
