Field trips change lives. I know they are a pain in the neck to schedule and find sub coverage. But students need them! Core memory stuff.
Start scheduling next year‘s trips right now- your students will thank you later
Four dangerous judgments we have of people who we have a hard time leading:
1.They’re too sensitive
2.They don’t care
3.They don’t think like we do
4.They’re evil, stupid, lazy,
or crazy
What’s a leader to do?
Be open, not judgmental.
Education is a hospitality business.
Yes, management skills and content mastery are important.
But in school, relationships are everything.
We should train teachers and admin to be relationship specialists.
Gratitude works.
Feeling lousy?
Feeling good?
Just do something awesome?
Just do something stupid?
Suffering through loss?
Just hit the jackpot?
Be grateful.
This life of yours is a spectacular, one of a kind phenomenon.
Warts and all.
(bonus: it feels better to be thankful)
When you lead, try this:
start with who.
Who do you serve?
Who do you fight for?
Who do you fight against?
Who do you heal with?
Who inspires you?
Who are you grateful for?
Great leaders don't just know their own answers.
They seek to know their people's answers.
“Reflect on what you see as OK and not OK. How much of what you think is not OK is actually bad for students?
How much of what you see as not OK could be OK if you made room for it?”
— from “Otherful”
