The #ClearTheList debate is vital. It confronts the true cost of education. Moving forward, how do we shift this powerful social media energy from individual wishlist-clearing to collective, structural advocacy for lasting, equitable school funding? ❓

Relying on charity from #ClearTheList creates inequity. Resource allocation becomes a social media lottery, not a right. Not every list gets seen. Education should be a stable, public investment, not an unstable, unpredictable handout. We need #SystemChange. 📉

The reality is teachers are spending hundreds out of pocket. #ClearTheList is a necessary bridge, ensuring students have what they need today. It fosters genuine appreciation and makes the classroom a vibrant learning space. Go clear a list! 📚 #TeacherAppreciation

#ClearTheList is a systemic failure disguised as charity. Crowdfunding classroom basics normalizes the idea that districts & governments don't need to properly fund education. We are treating a symptom, not curing the disease. We need a movement for #FundOurSchools.

It's back-to-school! The compassion of #ClearTheList provides immediate, tangible relief. Teachers shouldn't have to choose between their wallets and their students. Every book, marker, and pencil purchased puts resources where they belong. Thank you for supporting educators!

What is your school planning to do to manage cell phones in 2025-26? What is your policy/plan? What is the enforcement plan?

Share specifics here.

Not a brand new computer, but an updated old one. Nothing like having multiple systems fail at the same time!

"That sigh" from experienced teachers hits hard.

Because I have been there and done that. And because I am now the admin who sometimes is doing the same thing.
When you announce a new initiative, do you ever get "that sigh" from your experienced teachers?

You know the one - followed by "Isn't this just that thing we did back in 2005?"

Time to fly. This time at midnight and a good chunk of the way around the world. All to visit a new place and learn some new skills.

Heading to the Shanghai Fashion Week show today. No idea what I am getting in to. But I am helping to chaperone 15 students.

Given the choice to talk to an aboriginal singer/songwriter/speaker and see an influencer.

I will choose the singer songwriter every time.

Leadership can be the loneliest job in the world.

Making decisions in isolation, carrying burdens silently, maintaining that confident exterior when you're uncertain inside.

Sound familiar? There's a better way. Read more: shaneleaning.beehiiv.com/p/school-lea...

Wrestling with questions about group development.

High functioning groups require work.

How do we train out middle leaders to bring out the best in their groups? How do we model for them?

Questions posed today by Kendall Zoller.

Every day I think of how blessed I am to work with amazing people. Educators all of them who care about students.

This week, we sent many of them to the #EARCOS teachers conference to present. I am blessed to work with such great educators.

Yelling at the ref is never the answer. But sometimes it does make you feel better.

Well, why are you here? What are you hoping to gain or get out of this?

Sipping coffee on a Sunday, reflecting on a question @everettis.bsky.social gave me this week:

Why are you here?

Do we ask this enough in meetings, workshops, or even coaching? It might reveal surprising perspectives or simply be, as Everett says, “a good thing to know."

Why are you here today?

I am proctoring a make-up exam for an Economics teacher. A student started asking me to clarify what a question was.

I know less about economics class than he thinks.

I missed most of the presentation to the students.

But, when I walked in and her the presenter talking about her experience as a 2nd language learner, telling students she learned all the profantiy with the help of her friends, I knew she was doing just fine.

Today, as I read social media blowing up about the new president, I have one thought.

I have a basketball tournament to help run and school to keep going. There are more important things in life than politics.
