Kim Roy –
The Feed Forward Momentum Guide is a supportive tool in my journey as an Assistant Principal at a PK-4 Elementary School. What I appreciate most is how it seamlessly blends thoughtful reflection with actionable next steps. Each section begins with a powerful essential question that grounds the work and keeps the focus on what matters most, which is supporting teacher growth and student learning as an instructional leader. I also love how the guide emphasizes one clear action at a time, such as identifying a key instructional move, modeling it with teachers, and co-planning its application. It encourages collaboration, evidence gathering, and cycles of improvement, making professional learning a living, breathing process instead of a one-and-done event. The layout is incredibly user-friendly and the content is rich. The Feed Forward Momentum Guide is more than a resource, but rather a roadmap for becoming the kind of leader who makes a real difference in schools. It will keep me focused, grounded, and growing. -Kim Roy, Assistant Principal
