Students with IEPs are not a separate category; they are simply students, period. #LeadInclusion and #EduSky. 📚 #UDL #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Want to stay motivated every single day?
Borrow a strategy from Harvard.
Then borrow another from stand-up comedy.
Together, they’re a powerhouse for momentum, motivation, and mastery.
Here’s how it works:
Incredibly thankful for time spent re-connecting with friends at @sai_iowa this weekend (who also happen to be INCREDIBLE leaders)
Every administrator needs a great network to lean on, and these folks are some of the best! Feeling fulfilled and excited to take on the year!

You don’t build rapport with teachers through emails. You do it by walking the halls and being in their rooms…. connecting with them where THEY are.
You build it through conversations.

If you’re frustrated by the outcomes, take a hard look at the design.
Because systems don’t lie—they deliver exactly what they’re built to deliver.

Small and rural Iowa schools see 4-day weeks as a way to compete. But does it help kids? desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Yes, the job is hard. Yes, it's exhausting. But when you're on a mission, that exhaustion hits different. It’s purpose-driven. Let’s do the work, lift each other up, and stay locked in on what matters.

Spring is creeping in, but that’s no excuse to take your foot off the gas. Don’t blame student behavior, the weather, or the calendar—strong leadership and consistent expectations don’t take seasons off. Keep the standard high, stay locked in, and finish strong!

Way to go, Nicole! Great teaching is happening here at Saydel. Thank you for ALL you do for our students!
Outstanding educator Nicole Schroeder was named as a finalist for the 2024 Iowa Teacher of the Year award. Schroeder is a 10-year elementary educator at Saydel’s Cornell Elementary in Des Moines.
Schroeder is praised for creating a nurturing and caring environment where students feel safe, supported and valued. A parent noted, “Her ability to connect with her students on an emotional level fosters a deep trust and desire to succeed.”

paras are the most under valued people in schools. Thanks for what you do. #thatonekid
As a new administrator, I really appreciate Mr. Vaughan’s mentorship and his reminder to never forget the little things as leaders. Even if it means staying late to shovel sidewalks, it all makes a difference! (of course we know how to add a little humor and fun into it too 😂).

Perry Community School District:
“We share our deepest condolences with the Marburger family today on the passing of Dan Marburger. Dan was a tremendous leader in our school district and a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Our school community is heartbroken by Dan’s death. For nearly three decades, Dan was ingrained in every aspect of our Perry Community School District environment, and we are feeling the immense loss of a devoted and caring colleague.”

Today is incredibly difficult but it’s also not about me or my school. All our thoughts, prayers, and attention should be on Perry Schools and the greater community. So much undeserved heartbreak. – at Waukee, IA
