Feeling like an imposter in your own shoes? You're not alone. Through the lens of my personal journey, we peel back the layers of the seldom-discussed yet common phenomenon of imposter syndrome among school leaders. As a school principal, I’ve experienced it firsthand, and it's time we openly address this. This episode dispels the myth that a school principal is a fountain of knowledge, always ready with solutions. No two situations in school leadership are identical and this episode highlights that sometimes, the best thing a school principal can do is admit they don't have all the answers. So, get ready to challenge conventional wisdom, understand the real challenges of being a school leader, and learn from my experiences of overcoming self-doubt.Support the showThank you for journeying with us in today’s episode of The Sneaker Principal Podcast.

We'll also delve into effective time management strategies, a crucial element in our journey toward holistic wellness. My goal is to highlight the urgency of self-care, sharing practical strategies and personal experiences to help guide you in your own life.As we close out our discussion, the focus shifts to continuous personal improvement.

Are we ready to take on the issue that's pulling students out of the classrooms and hindering their academic growth? Because it's high time we expose the silent epidemic of chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 10% or more of the school year, that's causing a ripple effect in our education system. This is not just a conversation about students skipping school - it's about understanding the complex factors behind it, including the child's home environment, and putting strategies in place to combat it effectively. We're putting the spotlight on the crucial role of parent motivation, the importance of individual attendance data, and the need for early intervention. Let's break down what chronic absenteeism really means and discuss how we can tackle it head-on.But wait, there's more. We're taking the discussion a step further to question the efficacy of incentives and mentorship in resolving attendance issues. You have to wonder - are incentives leading kids to come to school for the rewards rather than the learning? We're peeling back the layers on this issue to emphasize the need for a climate where students are safe and deeply engaged in their learning, making that the priority over incentives. We'll also be discussing how everyone, from teachers to janitors, can play a part as a success mentor. So, join us as we dig deeper, engage with families, understand the root causes of attendance issues, and provide the support that keeps our students in school where they belong.Support the showThank you for journeying with us in today’s episode of The Sneaker Principal Podcast.

Who says that the key to successful school leadership lies solely in the hands of the principal? This episode is about to challenge that notion. We're turning the spotlight on the power of decentralizing leadership in schools and the remarkable difference it can make. Over-centralization can lead to slow decision-making processes, burnout, and exhaustion. We dare to imagine a different, more balanced approach to leadership, one that empowers assistant principals to take charge and contribute to the success of their schools. This episode is a must for those who believe in shared responsibilities and the potential of every team member to lead. By empowering assistant principals and distributing responsibilities, we create room for deeper conversations and strategic thinking. We discuss how investing time in developing these leaders can create a more responsive, dynamic, and inclusive leadership structure. Our journey explores the ongoing process of decentralizing leadership and the rewards that come with it.But we don't stop there. We underline the significance of continuous learning and growth, using personal experiences to illustrate the point. The power of learning from others and how it can be used to grow and become better leaders is a key takeaway from this conversation. We believe in reaching out and asking for help, and we encourage all educators to do the same. From empowering assistant principals to fostering a culture of continuous learning, this conversation is set to redefine what effective leadership in schools looks like.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to step into a struggling school and turn it around? Drawing on my five-month tenure as the interim acting principal at PSIS 224 in New York City, I share the intricate details of my journey, taking a deep, hard look at the school's narrative and finding ways to effect change. From our bold decision to rebrand the school to "Exploration and Discovery", rallying the staff, students, and the community, to even bringing the Chancellor of New York City public schools for a visit, every step was a learning experience.While the journey was filled with challenges, it was also one of immense learning. I had the privilege of understanding and leveraging public data and resources to comprehend the history of the school, eventually breathing new life into it. But the responsibility didn’t stop at reviving a school; it extends to supporting fellow school leaders on a similar journey. If you're a school leader, you'll appreciate my tips for setting up effective coaching sessions and reminders on how this work is ultimately about shaping better futures for our children.

Strap yourself in as we embark on an intense journey of personal discovery and intense disappointment, underscored by the harsh reality of school bullying. My own daughter was the victim, a revelation that shook me to my very core. Her story served as a stark reminder about the imperative role we educators play in protecting our students from the psychological and physical torment that bullying inflicts. Despite my position as a school leader, even I was blindsided by the lack of immediate action taken by the school and the subsequent lack of communication.This episode goes beyond just sharing my personal ordeal. It serves as a clarion call to educators and school leaders everywhere to take immediate, decisive action against bullying. I echo the sentiment that communication is the lifeblood of prevention and resolution in such matters.

Today, we're pulling back the curtain on education with Malcolm Harvin Connor, a principal with a vision. How can we prepare our children for the future? Malcolm believes the keys are reading, writing, and critical thinking, and he's not afraid to set high expectations. Whether you're in the classroom or on the school bus, Malcolm insists that everyone plays a role in creating an educational environment that you'd want for your own children. Born in Nigeria and raised in the US, Malcolm brings a rich tapestry of experiences and challenges to his role in education. His immigrant mentality and firsthand experiences with poverty have shaped his belief that every child can be excellent. He refuses to lower his expectations, a stance inspired by the stereotypes he's faced about Africa. He has seen the power of high expectations firsthand, watching his first student triumph over adversity to graduate high school. Service leadership forms the backbone of Malcolm's approach. Using lessons from his military experience, he prioritizes observation and communication to understand the needs of his school and community. He's not just committed to creating a legacy of success in his community; he's committed to creating a future for education that meets the needs of every child. It's a conversation that promises to inspire and challenge your perception of education.

Ever wondered how the iron will of an educator bends and molds in the face of adversity, or how self-doubt creeps into the minds of even the greatest leaders? We promise to take you on an enlightening journey through the complexities of leadership in the education sector. We kick things off by decoding the term 'humble' and its implications in our daily life, reflecting on the delicate balance between confidence and humility. The candid conversation then strides into the challenges of the initial school days, interspersed with intriguing anecdotes of my fellow educators. We wrap up this segment by peering into the crystal ball of the remaining school days, painting a vivid picture of real-life incidents.On the flip side, we unmask the hardships of school administration, a world that often grapples with the daunting task of reversing years of underperformance amidst pressures from all sides. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we lay out effective strategies to combat self-doubt. We take a leaf out of the lives of historic figures, like Jesus Christ, who dealt with doubt yet left an indelible mark on humanity. The toolbox includes self-talk and journaling, tools that can help us navigate through uncertainties. The secret sauce? Vulnerability! Acceptance and understanding of our doubts, a step that takes us forward in the quest for success. This episode is a rich tapestry of insights and reflections on overcoming self-doubt and thriving despite adversity.
