You can’t lead what you don’t live.

Be the standard.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Culture is built through influence. Influence is built through relationship. Relationship is built through trust. Trust is built through connection.

If you want better culture, start by learning to connect with your people.

Administrators who invest in building relationships with their teachers/ staff tend to have more engaged and committed teams. Engaged teams are more likely to be productive, creative, and loyal.

Students work harder for teachers they respect and feel like care about them. Relationships before rigor.

A principal can make or break the culture. Be thankful if you have a leader who is has built a positive culture!

Schools are influenced more by their informal culture than by their mission statement, policies & procedures. Having strong, supportive, positive relationships and team mentality are what make a school great.

Dabo with some terrible clock management and play calling at the end costs Clemson the game

If you want your team to serve, serve them. If you want your people to care, care about them. If you want your team to love their work, love them. If you want your employees to be their best, give them your best.

[Matthew Large @MatthewDLarge]

Best part is just being at peace and knowing who you are.

[Matthew Large @MatthewDLarge]

Proud of you Wells! You have come a long way since 8th grade! Keep grinding!

Actions reflect character… not words

You know who you are. Thank you. 💛

Want a nice car?
You have to pay for it.

Want better schools & teachers?
You have to pay for it.

There is no teacher shortage. There's a shortage of willingness to invest the profession with respect & support. There's a shortage in making the jobs appealing.

[Emily Paschall @EmilyAPaschall]

There really isn’t an excuse for not doing what’s best for kids. A school with a positive culture faces the problem and then asks, “Now what?”

🔸A student is chronically absent?
Now what?
🔹A student isn’t achieving?
Now what?
🔸A student is dysregulated?
Now what?
🔹A student seeks negative attention? Now what?

Culture is continuing the conversation rather than letting the excuse be the reason to end it.
