Designing a graduate course on ed leadership has me reflecting on how we aim this leadership. We can continuously improve oppression and we can lead to keep the same systems and approaches firmly in place. Deeper learning and continuous improvement for equity offer possibilities of what we're aiming for and how we're getting there in our educational ecosystems.

We are at critical crossroads in education - it is time for a new vision and a shift in leadership. How do we begin to show up as families, educators, leaders and community members to actually create true and lasting changes on behalf of the children we say we are in service to? This education system will take us back to the 19th century- what are the shifts we need to make that will help move it towards preparing students for the world they will graduate into; towards the 22nd century?

🌟 Publication alert 🌟 🎉 I’m very excited to share our new publication (in collaboration with Jan Vanhoof and Noel Clycq): Explaining Academic Optimism in Schools: The Impact of Performance Leadership and Alignment between Teachers, Students, and Parents. 🔍 This research provides strong evidence that a school leader’s deliberate emphasis on academic optimism creates significant opportunities. This leadership approach not only strengthens teachers’ trust and academic emphasis, but also enhances connections between teachers, parents, and students, positively influencing all facets of school academic optimism. In turn, this contributes to improved student performance and greater educational equity. 🏫 The findings offer practical insights for school leaders seeking to create positive change by fostering trust, setting high expectations, and building stronger relationships within the school community.

"Leadership in education involves not only replicating the methods and principles that guided you but also embracing the necessity of evolving those practices to meet the dynamic needs of today’s students and educators. True leadership in schools is marked by the ability to honor previous learning and pedagogy while also pioneering new pathways, recognizing that learning and growth for all requires both continuity and change" #MondayMindfulMomentOnATuesday #MrDollar #DoTheWork #OutworkYesterday
