Colleagues,
MVP: Be gracious. Tomorrow is a day to focus on what we have. Be grateful, but also… …be gracious. I wonder, what good is gratitude, if we cannot also be gracious? We are taking the rest of this week off to be with family, to celebrate, and to be grateful. Mara and I wish you a happy Thanksgiving! Frederick and Mara

Colleagues, MVP: To be successful, you need to have a plan. On this morning’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast, my friend Todd Bloomer talks about his blueprint for success. Todd is one of those principles who is consistently helping support and grow his teachers. How did he get there? Simple: He has a blueprint, a methodology. Structures and systems support sustainability. What’s your blueprint? Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode. Cheers!
Frederick Colleagues,
MVP: Know why you do what you do. We are fortunate to have about 30 friends and family joining us for Thanksgiving this year. So of course, we spent this past weekend cleaning. Would anyone care if the house wasn’t immaculate for the celebration? Probably not. So who were we cleaning for? Leaders do this all the time. We take action on something for which the reason we are acting isn’t really the reason. The answer of “who are we cleaning for?” doesn’t really matter. It is pausing to ask the question - that is critical. Cheers! Frederick Colleagues,
This week I’m playing with the idea of writing a very short and practical guide to reflective coaching. At the end of the week, I will ask for feedback. MVP: Using scripted questions can make life easier. Chapter 4: Twelve sets of questions aligned to the four types of reflective coaching conversations
Thanks for engaging in this little thought experiment with me. I’d love to hear your thoughts:
