Finish Line

It was a good day of learning, folks.  Thanks for your thinking.  You made me a better educator and person by sharing so freely. 

Once you've responded to all the prompts as directed, you're done for the day.

You can go home, or stay home, or go to the bar, or stay at the bar, or...

We're done.

#14: Culture (3.0)

Last prompt regarding Culture.

We don't get to autonomously change/create/import a culture on a campus.  One existed long before we got there and one will exist long after we leave.  All we get to do is influence the culture while we're there.

List 2-3 specific things can you do in your first 90 days as a school principal (or assistant principal) to begin positively influencing the culture of the school you inherit.

#13: Culture Influencing

Please examine slides 29-50 in the June 17 Slides deck.

This is the part of today's content that I would have most preferred to discuss with you in a F2F environment.  Alas...

Which of those slides/ideas seems to strike a chord with you most?  Why?

Take a Break. Next Prompt Coming at 3:00 pm. nc

#12: Rattlesnake

You receive a call at your desk from the SRO about 45 minutes prior to your school starting bell. Fugitives who are considered armed and dangerous are believed to be hiding from police in the neighborhood of your campus. (School has not started yet, but students and teachers are beginning to enter the school).
