Catholic School Principal

Catholic Family Man and Principal. Catholic Schools are one of the most important lands of opportunity. Don't ruin them.
Teachers are no longer sleeping through the night by this time of the year. #education #Teachersof𝕏
Few things reshape behavior more reliably than the sting of your own forgetfulness. #education #parenting
It is good to get to a place where feeling consequences for actions is normal. A simple way we do this in our house. The kids know we won’t bring them forgotten lunches. They have emergency beef jerky in their backpacks, which they don’t like as much as their lunches. They eat…
Destructive philosophy from NEA. Very concerning.
The National Education Association handbook says "educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism, and white privilege." "Educators must also work to prohibit institutionally racist systems"
One of my favorite childhood games. Only one wrestler remains with us from the cover. Time flies. #HulkHoganRIP #Hulkamania
Smartphones bring porn & gambling to teens 24/7. Today we have our first post on what sports betting is doing to boys & young men (who are 98% of those with addiction). By Jonathan Cohen and Isaac Rose-Berman. Part of our growing collab with @aibm_org afterbabel.com/p/smartphone-g…
"I used to want to be a test pilot or a stuntman, but they just didn’t offer the same sense of risk and adventure as school administration." -Richard Belding
All Catholic school teachers and administrators: Read this book by @BrettSalkeld. Get him to do your PD and/or staff retreat. He presented to our staff and connected with teachers of all content areas, even math. 😂 Brett solves "adding Catholic identity to your lesson."
I agree, but what professional development is helpful to start the school year? I'm wondering especially given school starts a couple days later. Handbook/policy updates don't count. Those are typical of any faculty meeting and are not PD. #Teachersof𝕏 #SummerBreakIsEnding

If we only started the school year after Labor Day...
A Catholic school can often be evaluated accurately by the culture and Catholic identity of its Dads Club. Fathers make a profound difference when they spend time invested in their children's faith and education.
How many days or weeks are teachers given to set up their classrooms at the end of summer? What is really necessary? This is an administration discussion every year. #Teachersof𝕏
Our school leaders wrap every decision in prayer while supporting teachers and trying to meet the needs of all our students. We did not choose school administration for convenience. The stress and demand of this job takes years off a life. I am sorry if this isn't your experience…
School is not designed with your children in mind, and especially not your boys. It’s designed for the convenience of its administrators. For whom the natural proclivities of boys are particularly inconvenient. Your son’s energy is not the problem, the school is.
We need more men involved in education. And I don’t just mean teachers here. I’m talking about DADS. Guys, get involved. This is not just mom’s job.
I found myself trying to remember and starting to listen to Coldplay songs for the first time on Spotify today. The trap was set. I walked into it.
A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking Washington Senate Bill 5375 from being enforced—a bill that would have forced Catholic priests to break the Seal of Confession—with Assistant Attorney Harmeet Dhillon fearlessly leading the fight against it.
What are the most eye opening comments you've heard (or even made) during a teacher interview? #education #leadership
Weak school leadership hides in offices. Great principals engage with teachers and students daily, fostering a culture of trust and growth. Step out and connect. Make yourself approachable. #schoolleadership #education #teachers
What percentage of U.S. Department of Education staff have over 3 years of experience working directly in schools? #education @usedgov #teaching #parenting
I am very tired of receiving #ChatGPT constructed emails. I suppose in the future, they will be 99% of written communication.
