Welcome to Day 8 of "Why Should a K-12 Teacher Get a Graduate Degree." #Teachers help students understand the importance of personal growth. Who's championing your #PersonalGrowth? What are the places in your teaching and professional experience where you can grow? As I shared yesterday, many of you are ready to grow into a new leadership role. Your fear stops you from entering your future as a #principal, #assistantpprincipal, #superintendent, #director, #departmenthead, and #DeanofStudents. 🌱 Embrace a journey of self-discovery and growth! Pursuing higher education is not just about advancing your career but also about personal fulfillment. You can grow alone or with the support of someone coaching you through applying to graduate school.

Job searching in education can be a daunting process, particularly when looking for leadership positions.

As we enter the 2024-2025 school year, let's all keep pushing forward, being authentic and persistent, and having faith that God will continue to guide our paths.

While summer might be a break in work and school for some, it’s actually a very important time for higher education administration and leadership. Summer provides administration and leadership the time to reflect on the previous year and plan and prepare for the new year ahead. It also allows for time to make strategic decisions, engage stakeholders, and set the institution up for a successful academic year. #highereducation #highereducationleadership #academicyear #summerbreak #higheredadministration #executivesearchfirm #schoolyearprep #recruiting #thursdaythoughts

Fellow principals, remember this as you prepare for the opening of your school. Do not be the extinguisher of hope, positivity, excitement, and enthusiasm. The school takes on the personality of their principal. If the principal is mean, the staff will be mean to one another and the kids, and the kids will be mean to one another. If the principal is full of energy, excitement, and enthusiasm, the teachers will be energized to teach and the students will be excited about learning. The principal can either extinguish a flame of positivity or ignite a flame of hope. The principal is responsible for the culture and mood of their school. #leadership #education #principals #teachers

Sadly, sometimes teachers don’t show up for their first day of work.     There’s often a large gap in education between when people are hired and when they actually begin work. This can cause people to second guess their choice and pursue other opportunities.   Here’s some best practices to keep folks engaged and excited prior to the start of school: 1️⃣ Send Summer Newsletters: 📩 Keep new hires in the loop with monthly updates on past achievements and upcoming initiatives. 2️⃣ Host Meet & Greets: 🤝 Bring new and returning staff together before the new year to foster a sense of belonging and community. 3️⃣ Schedule 1:1 Calls: ☎️ Personally connect with new hires throughout the summer to answer their questions and provide support.   School leaders, what are some best practices to engage your staff prior to the start of school?   Follow me ➡️ Nicholas Ditto for more insights on #leadership, #education, and #hiring. 📚✨

Leadership hires are about more than checking boxes. It’s about people and skill sets, a leader’s strengths have to translate to the magnitude of the opportunity to serve a community. #highereducation #highered #education #educationinsights

In my 16 years in education, I have learned that leadership is a two-way street. As much as I have led, I have also been led. I've had my fair share of ups and downs, but I can honestly say that I have probably learned more than I have taught. This year, I stumbled upon a powerful nugget of wisdom - systems get the output they are designed to get. It's a simple concept, but it has profound implications for education, both on micro and macro levels. If you're not happy with the output, it's time to change the system. I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned throughout my career and look forward to continuing to grow and learn. What's the best lesson you've learned in your career?
