Don’t Lead Scared

Shifting The Spotlight

I’m honored to serve at my state’s conference. I’m thankful for those that are attending tomorrow & have already locked into attending my solo session & the one alongside two of my teachers where we will show how we are #ridingtallatrobinson and living the mantra of #dontleadscared #leadsDE #PPI2025

ASCD/ISTE’s EL Magazine has an important issue out this month! Topic is instructional leadership and Principal Kafele’s
book influenced my thoughts as I wrote my column in this edition. We lead busy lives but we must find ways to support teachers and create learning cultures! #EduSky #Leadership

I’m with you on this mantra. #EduSky

If you haven’t already, start building a network of local VPs that you can call up at anytime. If you are in a district and have been a VP for at least a year, start there. They can be valuable to you since they’ve probably already experienced some things that you will encounter. #EduSky

Not everyone is drawn to data & metrics, but here's the power they hold: they cut through the noise & reveal the real story. When words can be manipulated & narratives spun, data remains the objective truth. It’s a clear, unfiltered mirror of reality. #DontLeadScared

It’s definitely awesome! I have a few elementary scholars who would love this. #EduSky

Yes. This is an interesting read.

Texas got blessed today! ASU fought well until the end.

Right!

When that clicked for me, thing really opened up for my leadership.

To reach your destination safely, you’ve got to keep your eyes on the road ahead while staying aware of the other cars around you. Stay visible, vigilant, & foresighted. Anticipate the moves of others so you can avoid accidents or hold-ups. #dontleadscared #changingthenarrative #spiritualjourney

Principal Kafele’s latest book.

Fellow Principals, what books are you delving into this year to help grow as a leader? I’d love to collaborate with a small group of leaders to engage in a virtual book study for PD fanatics like myself. I love collaborating with leaders from all over. Here’s one of my next reads. #DontLeadScared

Prayers for those in New Orleans and the families of those victims.

The strategies that I’ve found helpful has been being more intentional about teaching the “why” behind decisions, moves, and strategies more than I normally would have. It has helped with the balancing accountability and empathy. #edusky #educoach #eduleadership #DontLeadScared

Don’t Lead Scared For 2025!

“Don’t Lead Sacred” is a movement for the 2-0-2-5! #EduSky chat for #DontLeadScared coming within a couple weeks.

Truth!

My wife and I have been having this same question in our conversations as we navigate having a 17 and 16 year old. Parents Unite!

Up early, ON 🔥🔥🔥 and ready for #WEEK244 of the AP & New Principals Academy where once again, The Fantastic 4 will be under one roof. Join us this morning on the topic, LET'S ALL EXHALE on FB @ Principal Kafele or YouTube LIVE @ AP & New Principals Academy.

🎯💯

This piece was right on time! It’s a great read! You have one in the room right here! Many leaders can resonate with the perspectives you presented @smgaillard.bsky.social #EduSky

Inspiration for the day!

Friday, the 3rd - everyone is virtual
Monday, the 6th - we all return in person

K12 teachers never underestimate your positive impact both small and large on your students.

If they remember you and speak to you as adults when in public, you've done good. 😊
