When you offer your Ss ownership over their learning, they rise to the occasion, says educator @tikaee.bsky.social

Family Attendance Parties are a huge hit at Diaz Elementary School! Today, we celebrated our students and families with 1 absence and/or 2 tardy! #attendancematters @ccsdnv.bsky.social

A2 A current topic that needs to be advocated for is equity for all students. All kids need an education, but iit might look differently for each one. High stakes testing is not the answer. #LeadLAP

A1 In order to advocate, you need to know the data, have the relationship, and believe in the what you are advocating for. #LeadLAP

Hello #LeadLAP! My name is Tika, & I am a proud principal of a PK-5 school! We just finished a phenomenal #NevadaReadingWeek!

Our families loved our Neon Dance! Our staff and student council did a phenomenal job! #DiazEagles @ccsdnv.bsky.social

A1 We had several visitors at school for various meetings and observations, and all of them noticed how positive are mornings are with our students. They couldn’t believe how at least 12 staff members greet our kids as they walk to their classrooms. #LeadLAP

Hello #LeadLAP! My name is Tika, and I am the proud principal of a PK-5 school in Las Vegas.

A2 We would like to transform our monthly School Organization Team meetings so that more families attend & participate. It is a mandatory meeting that we have to have every month to share data, budget, concerns, etc. We advertise, have snacks, etc. Hardly anyone attends. #leadLAP

A1 I believe a practice we have transformed in our building is attendance is to make families accountable for attendance. Our families are invited to family attendance parties and meetings. We want them involved. #LeadLAP

Good Morning, #LeadLAP! My name is Tika, & I am a proud to serve as the principal of a PK-5 school in Las Vegas😊

A3 Here some of the interview questions we have shared. #LeadLAP

A2 Scenario questions are our favorite questions to ask. #LeadLAP

A1 It is imperative to ensure you and your team have a common message in the interview. Have the team help you with the interview questions, too. #LeadLAP

Hello @jaybilly2.bsky.social and #LeadLAP! My name is Tika, and I am proud to be the principal of a fantastic Pk-5 school in Las Vegas!

Join me in 1 hour as we talk about leadership and hiring ,"Getting the right people on the ship." #LeadLAP

I am honored to be a part of @drbradjohnson.bsky.social’s #lattesandleadership podcast. #schoolprincipals

A4 I have a morning routine at school, non negotiables, and alarms on my phone that ensure I am where I need to be because if I am not at arrival, dismissal, or lunch our students and families ask😅 #LeadLAP

A3 Full disclosure…I have tried to do a lot by myself because I did not want to add to people’s plates. I have learned that is not helping anyone. I need to oversee, check in, and reflect with my teams. It has been a game changer. #LeadLAP

A2 We have our admin team, leadership team, behavioral team, and #MTSS team to build ownership and to maximize time. #LeadLAP

A1 I get to school ridiculously early to do all of my office stuff so that I can be visible and participate at arrival, lunch duty, dismissal, talking with families, and in classrooms. #LeadLAP

We are so proud and excited for our 4th grade teacher, Ayrreol Eppenger! She has been accepted into @ClarkCountySch’s Teacher Leadership Academy! #DiazEagles

A2 Our biggest celebrations for the first semester is our low Chronic Absenteeism Rate at 12% & our students are understanding that academic growth is up to them as well as us and their families. #LeadLAP

A1 The most pressing issue is balancing our Ss social emotional needs & still pushing for academic growth. Our Ss & families are going through a lot. #leadLAP

Hello #LeadLAP! I am excited for the first chat on #edusjy! My name is Tika, and I am a PK-5 principal in Las Vegas!

I ❤️ twinning with one of our fifth graders😊 #DiazEagles @ccsdnv.bsky.social #principallife

Our third grader, Auora, is enjoying a delicious breakfast she made by reading a recipe in a cookbook she checked out of our school library! We are so proud of Auora for applying her reading and math skills at home! Outstanding Job!! #DiazEagles @ccsdnv.bsky.social #literacy #proudprincipal

Thank you, @drbradjohnson.bsky.social, for my fantastic shirt! As a building principal, my goal is to build trusted relationships w/ our students, families, & staff! Be visible, take time to talk with kids at lunch & recess, talk w/families at arrival/dismissal. Know what is important to your staff.

@lasvegaslocally.bsky.social The new breakfast place in Vegas has to be Norms! The food is delicious and the staff is friendly!👍🏼👍🏼

Great tips as we learn to navigate Blue Sky. I learned several things from this article! www.theverge.com/24295933/blu...
