My hill would be providing students with basic needs no matter the outcome! I have broken a lot of "rules" throughout my education career to make sure that a child eats (at home and school), has clothes that are clean, feel good about themselves (combing hair) or any other thing that they need to support their basic needs. We cannot successfully teach a child who is suffering in their basic needs!

Shanda Walker The Hill I am willing to die on is the fact that the biggest obstacle our scholars must overcome is exposure!  The difference between the suburban education our scholars contemporaries receive and the education my urban scholars receive is exposure  to global and worldly mindsets!! My job is to exposure my scholars so they can be competitive!! It is my belief that if they are exposed, they can run circles around those otherwise deemed privileged contemporaries. They can compete, if they know the rules of the engagement!

As a leader, you must protect your time. Having an open door policy means that you are not a structured leader. You are copying something you heard at a conference. Protect your time and be structured.

Title one, city districts are constantly overlooked and looked down upon. Growing up and attending Chicago Public Schools, I saw constant misconceptions about inner-city, public schools. I have always been passionate about teaching in underserved communities and changing the narrative around them. I believe in city kids and their access to an excellent education.

My hill is devoting my cause to the generation that society feels as if there is "No Hope" due to their age and familiar environment.  I stand on the belief that it is never too late, it depends on are you the chosen one to reach that adolescent and if not guiding the adolescent to the right individual for them.  Everyone can be reached by Someone.....

When educators judge our student population and decide that giving our students their best is a waste of time. If you can't give your best then this isn't the place for you. It doesn't matter where our students come from, it's our job to give them the very best...they ALL deserve a quality education.

My hill is having a conversation with ANYONE at my school who continually or intentionally picks on, ignores, embarrasses, or any other negative thing to ANY student or teacher.  Gossip, clicks, pre-judgment is a NO for me!

The hill I'm willing to die on is allowing teacher to know that they have the right to care for themselves and that I WANT to see them cared for. Happy teachers can be effective teachers. It bothers me that teachers are often viewed as an expendable resource, which results in undeveloped, tired, disenfranchised adults that squelch children's vivacity and gusto for learning. When people suffer, eventually they cause those around them to suffer. Teachers need to be allowed to express their emotions, find ways to be restored back to a homeostatic mental norm, and be allowed to be developed both professionally and as a PERSON. We often speak about teaching the whole child, and oftentimes an adult that's at 50% or less is teaching them.

My hill is truly fostering a culture that recognizes a positive work-life balance. Somewhere along the way, this notion that working all day, everyday without taking time to reflect and refresh has become the norm and celebrated. However, we should not celebrate people working themselves so much that they don't stop to time for themselves. You can't pour from an empty cup!

My hill is students knowing who they are outside of academics. Knowing their heritage, what they like and don't like, having autonomy and being their full selves. Education is more than reading, writing and arithmetic.
