What these teachers don't know is just how much they've grown me through this process. Hours and hours and hours go into each session. And, together...we all get better each time. This is what being a leader is all about. #Growth

This project is just me paying it forward. I have 11 amazing teachers that are growing alongside me by planning and presenting PD. These teachers are learning hands-on skills that will make them even better teachers but also the next generation of leaders, coaches and Admin. ➡️

WHY LEADERSHIP FAILS

Leadership fails when leaders fail to develop leaders in their organization.

It’s a common challenge I see in many organizations. Leaders are so busy and stressed with their own to do lists that they don’t make the time to invest in developing leaders on their team and in their organization.

As a result, they get subpar leadership and subpar results throughout the organization…. except where you have a naturally gifted leader or a leader that has developed themselves by reading books, learning from mentors or attending trainings. But these are outliers, not the norm.

I’ve noticed that even when leaders aren’t busy and stressed, they also fail to develop leaders on their team and in their organization because
A) They don’t realize how important it is or
B) They don’t have the frameworks, resources, tools and strategies to develop their leaders.

This is why many organizations lose their culture and success at the midlevel of their organizations. Leaders at the top aren’t modeling great leadership and they aren’t cascading leadership down throughout their organization.

Great leaders' model great leadership and they coach and develop others to lead well. It requires time, energy and attention but it’s well worth the effort.
Having worked with and learned from many of the great leaders of our time I’ve seen what it looks like when leadership succeeds, and I’ve seen what it looks like when leadership fails.

That’s why I’m doing this free leadership webinar May 21st. I’m going to share the frameworks, tools, strategies and resources that you can use to develop leaders on your team and in your organization.

Investing in your own growth and the growth of your leaders will ensure that your leadership and your leaders succeed!

If you're a leader, but you lack the courage to hold everyone on your team to high standards because it makes them dislike you, then you are responsible for perpetuating whatever culture you, and several members of your staff, complain about. Stand up for kids.

256 LED lights in effect and a nifty drone show.

@rcisdfinearts was on full display this week! There was a new @rcbulldogart display put up in the @RC_CCA. @rcbulldogband put on an entertaining show along with the @rchsgoldendebs at halftime and United In Harmony performed the national anthem before the Homecoming Game.

@JayWamsted I had a class full of Kindergarteners...the secretary called to put my mom through. She told me the WTC had been hit and that my sister was okay. She worked in NYC and ended up with a friend of a friend of a friend until she could get a ride out that evening.

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

The most negligent thing we can do for our learners is to think our Tier 1 is fine like it is & just keep doing what we've always done.

Improvement happens with change.

Not by adding more programs or interventions or budget items.

[Kristina Duke @KDDuke11]

Hahaha! So true! I've got the colonoscopy, the dentist, the optometrist PLUS...a haircut, pediatrician for the kid and the veterinarian for the dog. It took me one whole day just to line up all the appointments. 🤣

[Susan Barber @susangbarber]

My non-teacher friends: I’m so jealous of your summer off.
Me: yesterday I had a colonoscopy, today I went to the orthopedist, tomorrow I’m having my teeth cleaned.

[Kristina Duke @KDDuke11]

Mr. Worthy is so deserving of this honor! I have thoroughly enjoyed working under his leadership! #RCISDJoy #BulldogPride
