Apart from his professional life, Shaun is a devoted husband and father to four wonderful children, aged between 7 and 17. In his spare time, he loves designing and playing board games, crafting delicious sourdough bread, and catching the latest films at the movies.

• Most valuable from the workshop was around evaluations and aligning myself around her values
• Our staff will be intervention experts is our vision.
• Rubric-based observations vs. a conversational approach
• Robotic and not super focused or helpful for teachers?
• Feedback is more authentic
• Teachers want to be better teachers and my feedback actually helps them now.
• One thing: going to be in one lunch every day.
• Put it on the calendar and told people they can expect to see me.
• Having a paraprofessional out there with me observing how I was handling it.
• Why you should attend the workshop.
• You are in charge of your own professional growth.
• What has made Shaun a great principal? Other principals.
• A great principal: Mary Kay Summers
• More about being intervention experts: meeting students where they need and what they need
• How to support teachers in that realm.
• How to be a transformative principal? Get out of your office. Be with kids. Connect with kids that don’t see you as much.

Lead a school everyone can be proud of.

Being a principal is tough work. You’re pulled in all kinds of directions. You never have the time to do the work that really matters. Join me as I help school leaders find the time to do the work they became principals to do.

I help you stop putting out fires and start leading.
