This applies to many of the blocks of the school performance pyramid. Challenging the staff is a good one to point out because it will allow the leaders to see who is on their bus and we can help them see they need to make sure the right people are on THEIR bus.

Our role is to assist the schools we partner with to focus in on the tasks which will lead to achieving their goals - challenge the staff. The desire and vision is there.

Stick to the majority of the plan as best as you can for at least 3 years tweaking slightly when necessary. Make sure all team members are on board with the plan even when it is painful.

Everything is not always as it seems. Everyone has problems however, you are the driver and can decide how to face your challenges. If you know where a person is starting from, I think it is easier to engage them.

We can impact their attitudes, fidelity to implementation, and should take ownership for our schools.

Energy Bus Rule #2 is a good one that connects. osantos4 https://padlet.com/mscionti/8e1cuoq4teni/wish/199711817 2017-10-23 17:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mscionti/8e1cuoq4teni/wish/199711817 Challenge the system & staff https://padlet.com/mscionti/8e1cuoq4teni/wish/199712054 As I am working with school leaders in professional development sessions especially new leaders, I want them to have the main take away that it is their job to create the environment of success and sometimes that is through challenge and change.

Can you see the change put in place and the results of the change?]]> 2017-10-23 17:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mscionti/8e1cuoq4teni/wish/199712120 Focused Efforts https://padlet.com/mscionti/8e1cuoq4teni/wish/199712203 Rule #2 is aligned with the Harvard Business Review article. The article outlines the key building blocks that lead to school turnaround and improvement.
Likewise, our Continuous School Improvement plans are very focused on fewer and specific goals that we believe will be key benchmarks towards meeting the school's vision of success (set by the schools and their stakeholders).

Paired with #1, we can remember that we can help control ourselves and our schools to focusing on important outcomes--not the latest fire drill. Having a mission, goal, vision written down helps realign individuals when they go down the rabbit trail...

Our role supporting schools involves motivation throughout the year for the relentless pursuit of achieving academic excellence. Enthusiasm is contagious and if we demonstrate that energy about their School Improvement goals, then there's no choice but to participate and commit entirely."You haven't failed until you stop trying."
