Anybody can hold a back-to-school PD. Anybody can pass out handbooks and post a welcome banner.
Not everybody can build a school teachers believe in, students feel safe in, and parents trust by Labor Day.

[Dr. Kim Germany @DrKimGermany]

E: Elevate the standard and never negotiate it. Your students get one shot at this year. Lead like you know that.

[Dr. Kim Germany @DrKimGermany]

The handbook tells them the rules.
Your leadership tells them who you are.
This year you don't just show up. You R.I.S.E.

[Dr. Kim Germany @DrKimGermany]

Anybody can open a school year.
Not everybody can set a standard.
New school and district leaders: before your first PD, read this. 🧵

I: Initiate first. Walk the halls before the problems walk to you. Have the hard conversation before it becomes the hard year.

[Dr. Kim Germany @DrKimGermany]

S: Speak the vision. Define the culture in week one or the loudest voice in the lounge will define it for you.

[Dr. Kim Germany @DrKimGermany]

R: Refuse to shrink. You were not hired to be liked. You were hired to lead.

Every hidden agenda on your leadership team is being paid for by a student who cannot read yet.
Address it. #SchoolLeadership #AchieveNow

The veteran teacher who says "I've tried that before" isn't your problem.
Leading with authority you haven't earned is.

Proximity is not loyalty.
Agreement is not alignment.
Activity is not execution.
New leaders: learn the difference before August, not after October.

The problem was never your passion. It was the absence of systems that could hold the work without it holding you hostage.

You do not need another year in survival mode.

You need a reset before it starts again.
