I recommend Brandon Kendall as an exceptional candidate for an administrator position. Brandon has served Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation for ten years as a special education teacher, behavior coordinator, and most recently as a program leader and teacher for students with emotional disabilities. His consistent focus on both student and staff needs, along with his passion for helping students access academics, has prepared him well for the role of an administrator.
Brandon brings a thoughtful and reflective approach to leadership. He takes the time to think deeply about complex situations, consider multiple perspectives, and ultimately make decisions that are in the best interest of students. Even when those decisions may challenge the status quo or feel uncomfortable, he remains grounded in what is right for kids.
That willingness to navigate difficult conversations and "shift the waters" when necessary is a strength that will serve him well as an administrator.
As a leader, Brandon is dedicated to making those around him better. He naturally pushes colleagues to grow, reflect, and improve their practice while also providing the support needed to do so successfully. His collaborative mindset, combined with his ability to motivate both staff and students, creates a culture of continuous growth.
Brandon is especially skilled in supporting students with social-emotional and behavioral needs. He uses research-based practices, models effective strategies for staff, and consistently works to identify root causes in order to create meaningful, lasting change for students.
He is one of the most impactful educators I have had the opportunity to work alongside, and I am confident he will continue to make a significant difference in any leadership position he pursues.
