56: Lessons from a Lifetime in Education
<p>In this episode of the CheckBox Pro Series, Missy sits down with Dr. Mechiel Rozas, a recently retired superintendent, to reflect on the leadership lessons that sustained her through a decades-long career in education.</p> <p>Dr. Rozas shares her journey from bilingual teacher to superintendent, along with the experiences that shaped her leadership philosophy. She explains why building a positive culture for adults is one of the greatest investments a leader can make, why calm and consistent leadership matters during difficult moments, and how developing the capacity of others became the hallmark of her career. </p> <p>Throughout the conversation, Dr. Rozas offers practical tools leaders can use immediately, including simple frameworks for coaching staff, making thoughtful purchasing decisions, and helping teams distinguish between what is truly required and what they have placed on themselves. She also shares how intentionally protecting time for family, friendships, and personal renewal made it possible to sustain her leadership over the long haul. </p> <p>Connect with Dr. Rozas on LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-mechiel-rozas-00454955/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-mechiel-rozas-00454955/</a></p> <p>At CheckBox Pro, we help school leaders reclaim time and build sustainable careers through executive assistant support designed specifically for education leaders. <a href= "https://www.checkboxpro.com/">https://www.checkboxpro.com/</a></p> <p>Licensed music ID: ILRNI9DIEHE4JTVQ Music: Energizer by Chris Phaze licensed through Premium Beat by Shutterstock ID: ILRNI9DIEHE4JTVQ</p>

55: The Team Teaching Model
<p>In this episode of the CheckBox Pro Series, Missy sits down with Mohamad Maarouf, Superintendent of Arcadia Schools, for a conversation about rethinking both student learning and teacher sustainability.</p> <p>Mohamad shares his journey from finance to education, sparked by a desire for more meaningful work and deepened through Teach For America, school leadership, and years spent supporting principals across Texas. Now, as the founder of Arcadia Schools, he is preparing to open a new high school model designed to address two of education's biggest challenges: student outcomes and teacher retention. </p> <p>Mohamad explains Arcadia's innovative team teaching model, where students learn in smaller groups with multiple educators, instruction is adjusted in real time using data, and aspiring teachers are developed through a built-in apprenticeship model. He also shares the realities of school founding, from balancing competing priorities to resisting perfectionism and staying grounded in the relationships that make the work possible. </p> <p>Throughout the conversation, Mohamad returns to a central belief: schools are built through trust, collaboration, and community voice. He also shares a practical relationship tracking tool that helps him intentionally steward connections with families, staff, and partners without letting relationships become transactional. </p> <p>This episode is an encouraging listen for school leaders thinking about innovation, sustainability, and what it looks like to build a school with people, not just for them. </p> <p>Connect with Mohamad:</p> <ul> <li>LinkedIn <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/maarouf/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/maarouf/</a></li> <li>Learn more about Arcadia Schools <a href= "https://www.arcadia-schools.org/home">https://www.arcadia-schools.org/home</a></li> </ul> <p>At CheckBox Pro, we help school leaders reclaim time and build sustainable careers through executive assistant support designed specifically for education leaders. <a href= "https://www.checkboxpro.com/">https://www.checkboxpro.com/</a></p> <p>Licensed music ID: ILRNI9DIEHE4JTVQ Music: Energizer by Chris Phaze licensed through Premium Beat by Shutterstock ID: ILRNI9DIEHE4JTVQ</p>

54: What's Saving My Life: Spring 2026
<p>Spring is always a whirlwind. Between school events, travel, sports, and what Missy affectionately calls "May-hem," it can feel like life is moving at full speed. In this quarterly What's Saving My Life episode, Missy reflects on ten things that brought a little more joy, ease, and sustainability to her life between April and June 2026.</p> <p>From practical solutions like grocery pickup and snack prep to meaningful moments with grandparents, coaching youth soccer, and hiking through Zion National Park with friends, this episode is a reminder that the things saving our lives are often smaller and simpler than we expect.</p> <p>If you've never made your own "What's Saving My Life" list, this episode might inspire you to start. </p> <p>Key Takeaways:</p> <ul> <li>Small conveniences can make a big difference. Whether it was finally using up accumulated samples, embracing grocery delivery, or keeping healthy snacks ready to go, simple systems helped reduce decision fatigue during a busy season.</li> <li> Being present in your children's world matters. Volunteering at school provided opportunities to see my daughters in a different environment and connect with the people who invest in them every day.</li> <li>Kids are capable of more than we think. One unexpected milestone this spring was watching her youngest daughter decide she was done with nighttime pull-ups and take ownership of the process herself.</li> <li>Shared experiences create lasting memories. Whether it was coaching a youth soccer team, watching sports together, or traveling with close friends, some of the most meaningful moments came from doing life alongside others.</li> <li>Friendship is worth planning for. The Zion National Park trip served as a powerful reminder that investing time with friends can be both restorative and life-giving. </li> </ul> <p>What's Saving My Life This Spring:</p> <ul> <li>Using up sample products</li> <li>A weekly snackle box filled with fruits and vegetables</li> <li>Volunteering at my girls' school</li> <li>My youngest daughter nighttime potty training herself</li> <li>A new ice cream maker</li> <li>Coaching my daughter's soccer team</li> <li>Grocery delivery and grocery pickup</li> <li>Grandparents</li> <li>Watching the Atlanta Braves and women's soccer</li> <li>A Zion National Park trip with friends </li> </ul> <p>Resources Mentioned:</p> <ul> <li>Snackle Box <a href= "https://www.target.com/p/large-snackle-box-cool-sun-squad-8482/-/A-94824074#lnk=sametab"> https://www.target.com/p/large-snackle-box-cool-sun-squad-8482/-/A-94824074#lnk=sametab</a></li> <li>Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker <a href= "https://www.cuisinart.com/pure-indulgence-2-quart-frozen-yogurt-sorbet-ice-cream-maker/ICE-30BCP1.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq58vjUiygTaDGmYjS9x2ouLn3Ji2dOrsZnkbr61cU3rUKXpsEN3aI"> https://www.cuisinart.com/pure-indulgence-2-quart-frozen-yogurt-sorbet-ice-cream-maker/ICE-30BCP1.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq58vjUiygTaDGmYjS9x2ouLn3Ji2dOrsZnkbr61cU3rUKXpsEN3aI</a></li> <li>Ben & Jerry's Recipe Book <a href= "https://www.target.com/p/ben-jerry-s-homemade-ice-cream-dessert-book-by-ben-cohen-jerry-greenfield-nancy-stevens-paperback/-/A-11759333">https://www.target.com/p/ben-jerry-s-homemade-ice-cream-dessert-book-by-ben-cohen-jerry-greenfield-nancy-stevens-paperback/-/A-11759333</a></li> </ul> <p>Connect with CheckBox Pro:</p> <p>At CheckBox Pro, we help school leaders reclaim time and build sustainable careers through executive assistant support designed specifically for education leaders. <a href= "https://www.checkboxpro.com/">https://www.checkboxpro.com/</a></p> <p>Licensed music ID: ILRNI9DIEHE4JTVQ Music: Energizer by Chris Phaze licensed through Premium Beat by Shutterstock ID: ILRNI9DIEHE4JTVQ</p>
