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.
