Live Your Excellence in 2021

I just finished reading this book by Jimmy Casas on bringing your best self to school every day. Each of you have contributed value to the School District of Waukesha over the past year and for some of you, many years.

Below are a few reminders to invest in as we start 2021.

1. Invest in your students and colleagues every single day. Listen to them, believe in them, support them and trust them.

2. Influence their beliefs and behaviors. Model what you expect.

3. Inspire their work. 

4. Invite their input.

5. Initiate the work that needs to be done. It begins with you.

6. Improve the work environment. Redefine your expectations. Raise the standards.

I hope each of you can live your excellence in 2021. Happy New Year!
