In a year of working with this campus math team and principal, we:

šŸ‘identified and analyzed the challenges, strengths, and needs of the campus
šŸ‘created instructional goals based on student and teacher data
šŸ‘created a profile of a graduate
šŸ‘ developed common instructional practices and a playbook
šŸ‘ created a customized walkthrough form
šŸ‘developed a focus and goals for the year to come
šŸ‘ and cast vision intentionally!

Whew!! This clarity cycle work is where itā€™s at, yā€™all! No one is uncertain about where they are headed next year and how they are going to get there. Weā€™ve done more than just create a strategy for making progress- weā€™ve created clarity!

Who are the people that push you to take action or hold you accountable when your own self-awareness just isnā€™t enough?

Iā€™m blessed to have too many in my life to count!

We canā€™t put people in team leading or team facilitating positions without doing the groundwork that will help them (and ultimately the people they are leading) be successful!

ā€¦ wait- correctionā€¦

We CAN put people in these roles without the groundworkā€¦ but we will experience undesirable side effects as time goes on, leaving NO ONE feeling or valued. šŸ˜¬

I am passionate about this work- the work of building up reflective who know themselves well, can practice mindset strategies to help them lead well, and have the skills to facilitate meaningful and cast vision for teams!

Letā€™s make this a reality for YOUR teams! They deserve to be extraordinary by being led by extraordinary leaders!

The truth is that every leader loses sight of what itā€™s like to be a classroom teacher. Itā€™s a part of our reality. You can be empathetic based on your past experiences, but itā€™s not exactly the same.

And thatā€™s okay- your brain space is now being utilized in a different way and with a different perspective (one you didnā€™t have as a classroom teacher).

And itā€™s also important to take time to gain back a little perspective. It only comes with benefits! Trust building, understanding learning gaps, a more granular view of how to move teams forward, and more!

Iā€™m going live to talk about one way to do this! Itā€™s called ā€œteach weekā€. Comment ā€œlinkā€ for the link to this episode! šŸ‘

An encouragement for the week ahead!

As we near the end of the school year, emotions can run on high- people are anticipating changes in the months ahead, the lists of things to do are daunting, and the days are BUSY.

Even still- be kind. Itā€™s the unplanned moments of kindness that people remember most.
