✏️Don’t amplify the pressure. Testing matters, but it is not the end-all, be-all and leaders set that tone. ✏️Take care of the adults so they can take care of the kids. Coverage, snacks, flexibility…small moves go a long way during testing weeks. ✏️Celebrate effort in real time. Quick check ins, shoutouts, thank you notes…people need to feel seen while they’re in it. State testing season is a long and somewhat challenging period of time and it’s often missing joy… Find small ways to make it through together.
Starting this fall, Utah schools will have a bell-to-bell cellphone restriction in place so students can focus, connect, and learn. SB69 helps reduce distractions during the school day while allowing exceptions for emergencies and student accommodations. More here: sltrib.com/news/education…

Hiring can be one of the most challenging parts of school leadership- especially with late openings and limited candidate pools. What hiring strategies have worked best in your school?
@DrBradJohnson Growth happens through dialogue, not checklists. Well said.
When leaders have to ask permission to lead, friction is inevitable. And when friction shows up, people protect instead of improve. Let’s remove the barriers and allow principals to lead.
Spring break offers a valuable chance to pause, recharge and return for the final stretch.
Schools rarely “sleep”. Balancing the needs of students, staff and parents is constant, and spring brings a full calendar of athletics, activities and events that keep school leaders moving.
Better leadership doesn't happen overnight. Better culture doesn't happen overnight. Better mindset doesn't happen overnight. You didn't get to where you are overnight, and you won't get to where you want to be overnight. Make daily progress, keep moving forward.
Here's to launching your week with purpose! 🚀🚀 (Inspiration via leader @KeriSkeeters)
Cell phone policies in schools seem to vary widely. What does your school currently allow, and how do you manage enforcement during the school day? #Principal #School Leadership
I’m a high school principal. Last week, I had to call a senior, Leo, into my office. Our system showed he had missed twenty days this semester. That’s automatic failure. He walked in, head down, wearing the same hoodie he’d worn all week. I had the suspension papers typed out. "Leo, what’s going on?" I asked, ready to give the standard lecture on responsibility. He didn't look up. He just whispered, "My mom’s chemo schedule changed. She’s too weak to walk after the appointments, and we don't have a car. I have to carry her up the stairs to our apartment. It takes all afternoon." I looked at the papers on my desk. They felt incredibly heavy. I didn’t see a truant student anymore; I saw a boy being a man before he had to be. I ripped up the papers. "Here’s the deal," I told him. "You get her home. I’m emailing your teachers to set up remote work for the days you miss. We are going to get you across that stage." He finally looked up, eyes red, and just nodded. Sometimes, the most important lesson a student can learn is that authority actually has a heart. Anonymous
Powerful advice. 👟
@DrP_Principal Even elite athletes need halftime to regroup and adjust the game plan. Spring break is education’s version of halftime.
I’m especially interested in how parent communication and expectations have changed over time.
For administrators with long careers in education: Have you led a school both before and after the era of email and cell phones? What differences stand out most in how principals communicate and lead today? #EdAdmin #Principal
A fight breaks out in the hallway. A student films it and it goes viral on TikTok. Parents are demanding suspensions. 👉 Do you suspend both students? The filmer? Hold a press conference?
Scenario #1 coming next. Thoughtful discussion encouraged.
The goal isn’t criticism. It’s reflection. How do experienced leaders think through hard decisions?
