A Principal's Reflections

JANUARY 6, 2019

I got on Twitter in 2009, which was an accomplishment in itself as I had previously convinced myself that I would never use social media as I didn’t have the time nor saw any value in it. My “ah ha” moment came in March of 2009 after having read a newspaper article about Twitter in the Staten Island Advance.

If you haven’t noticed, I have been a tad bit excited over the past couple of weeks leading up to the release of my new book. This is something that I could have never dreamed of prior to social media as I felt that writing was definitely not my strong suit.

Prior to 2009 I basically saw technology as just an add-on and something that could spruce up a lesson. Social media had to be blocked for all and I, for one, wasn’t going to waste any of my precious time using it professionally or personally. To that end we created an extensive study guide to go along with the book.

Social media really did open up a door to a whole new world that I never knew existed. This was my first solo effort at authoring a book.

For example, the Great Recession of 2008-2009 and the subsequent financial distress it imposed on school systems forced many superintendents to cut services to the bone, leading to conflicts among parents, school boards, financial overseers and employees. I co-authored a chapter in that book on career pathways for superintendents.

If I was graded I would have probably received an A for running my school where strict rules had to be followed by students, mobile devices banned, and all social media blocked. It was then in 2009 that I possibly took the greatest risk of my young administrative career. Obviously, not much at the time.

Every excuse in the book was at our disposal not to change and continue down the same path year after year. Luckily change came in the form of a little blue bird that gave me the kick in the butt that I desperately needed back in 2009. We were no different and had succumbed to a fixed mindset. It was a huge problem for us.

But then you see so many kids who might show up in kindergarten the first day—and this was eye-opening to me—who haven't seen a book, some of them have never been read to. My oldest son, who’s 12 now, was born in 2009, and he kind of grew up on it. They probably got that [concept] when they were 3 or 4 years old.

In 2009, a National Center for Education Statistics survey showed that about 90% of schools prohibited cell phones during school hours. Parents, too, can reach out to tell their child they’ll be late picking them up or that they forgot a book. One topic I always ask students is how they manage cell phone usage in their classes.
