“We can choose to believe the best in others until they give us a reason not to. Even if they give us a reason not to. We can let people be who they are—and still decide who we want to be.” New post: Navigating Passive-Aggressive Behavior allysonapsey.com/2025/03/navi...

I usually don't enjoy hearing myself talk 😂 BUT even I enjoyed listening to this important podcast topic. More than ever, educators need hopeful and psychologically safe school environments. When teachers thrive, students thrive. Listen on your favorite platform. open.spotify.com/show/72ZizBC...

Back in December, while home for the holidays, I had the joy of visiting a 9th-grade and a 1st/2nd-grade classroom for Author Talks! Sharing my love for writing, creativity, and publishing with these students was an absolute thrill!

@allysonapsey.bsky.social is kicking off our morning today with a serendipitous mindset. Love listening to her wisdom and passion for people, moments, and the intersection of those. #mtprincipals25

Sharing individual and collective values connects us as human beings. Share and celebrate each other! Thanks for sparking thought and connection among our #maemsp group! @allysonapsey.bsky.social #mtprincipals25

A1: My transition started with decorating for Christmas! Loved taking my time today and enjoying the process. #EduSkyChat

Well this is fun! #TLAP on @bsky.app!! Love pausing for a few minutes to focus on being grateful with friends. A simple pleasure I am grateful for is coffee with my favorite cream in a meaningful mug, enjoying it on my front porch.

There are all kinds of public speakers out there, and thank goodness for that—conferences would be so boring if everyone was the same! I learn something from every speaker I watch. My goal? To be the best version of myself and connect with the audience in a way that makes a real difference. #EduSky

Value your people. Support their work. Invest in their lives. Encourage them often. Lead them not from in front nor behind them, lead from beside them. Everyday is a gift, open it carefully and cherish it greatly. Strive to be a transformational leader. You have the best job in education! THRIVE!

Hey @bsky.app educators! I get to speak to a group of principals tomorrow. What would you like me to tell them?

I am working on something and would love your feedback. Research-based practices are important, but how they look in different contexts cannot be ignored. What if we start with local pockets of excellence and then align those practices with research to determine what works for YOUR students?

Episode with Allyson Apsey was great!!!

I am learning that relying on "research-based practices" is not enough. We need to use research to help us understand local evidence of impact. Looking closely at what is working in OUR context with OUR students and is backed by research is the true north ✨ for students. #LeadingTheWholeTeacher

Excited to connect on @bsky.app ❤️
