If you have never heard, you matter before, let me tell you if you listened to the President of Illinois Principal Association, Dr. Marcus J. Berlin, tell you how you do, you would know you do! This young leader from Huntley High School is influential and powerful in his ability to speak.
As Dr. Belin addressed the room full of school leaders, he wanted to inspire them to know what they do matters. He shared he wanted every child to know that they mattered as well. A picture appeared on the big screen from his school of encouraging phrases and words, including a large print of; You Matter! This sign hangs in a hall where everyone passes. “I wanted everyone to see these words every day!”
The energy, passion, and authenticity in his message brought the “why” to all of us. The “why” we all do what we do each day for those we serve and why it matters! The why we matter! Educational leadership matters! When you show up with everything you have to give, those who receive it become all they can be!
It is not easy! No way! Leaders are standing after being pushed as hard as they have ever been pushed before! You matter! So proud of all the leaders who are working so hard each day!
