Are you a Fred?

Do you have what it takes to be a Fred?  Take this brief test to find out.


Take a few moments and reread the four factors from the book.  Share something relevant from your current job for each of the factors.  I will share something from my school about #1 and #4.

#1 - Everyone makes a difference - I shared last night that my counseling secretary always goes above and beyond her title to make our school a better place.  She jokingly asked if she could change her title to 'Director of First Impressions' because she wants to make sure that everyone entering our building has a positive first impression and leaves after having a pleasant experience.  She is truly making a difference for our school.

#4 - on more than one occasion teachers will share with me that they are having a bad day or I will go in for a walk through or formative observation and they will ask me to come back on another day because today just isnt working out for them.  After the fact I let them know that tomorrow is a new day and they get to reinvent themselves regularly.  They appreciate the flexibility and often rise above expectations because they are given that flexibility.

Thanks for sharing some examples from your schools about the different factors.

REMINDER - the summary of the culture and climate article should be submitted through LiveText by midnight of the 30th.
