Reflect on how you are redirecting students. Does your approach increase or reduce resistance? Be quick, kind, calm, firm and get to kids when redirecting. A student may not respond positively, but we can ensure we are not part of the problem. #BISTon#AllInCARE@OurCornerstones
Carter and I will be at the @Royals game tonight. Still hold a special place in our hearts for @Bsinger51 He has been so kind to Carter through the years. #RaisedRoyal
When students struggle repetitively with behavior it is about a students missing skill not an adult inadequacy. Adults have to be reflective and grow our personal skills. This must be the foundation of problem solving for student success. #BISTon#AllInCARE@OurCornerstones
Dan Hurley was asked, "What does a championship culture look like?"
He said, "Everyone thinks the same things, behaves the same way, and we're all striving for the same things. That's what culture means."
Dan then said, "My job is to make sure everyone in this building is not giving me what they have left, it's to give me everything that they got."
Your culture is what you accept.
It's a reflection of your leadership and what you're willing to tolerate. It means:
• Drive the ship.
• Lead by example.
• Hold people accountable.
5 Silent Culture Killers That Stop You From a Championship Culture:
1. When you let toxic people stay - Toxic people poison the work environment. They lower morale, spread negativity, and hinder productivity. Remove them is crucial to maintain a healthy culture and protecting your team. It is an example of how you slowly poison the culture from the inside-out.
2. When you don't communicate or give feedback - Poor communication leads to misunderstandings and confusion. Without feedback (good or bad), people don't know if they're meeting expectations. Open, honest dialogue builds trust and alignment. It means consistent, clear communication sending and listening.
3. When you haven't set clear expectations - Vague expectations lead to confusion and inconsistency. People need to know what's expected to perform well. Clear expectations guide behavior and improve outcomes. Define roles and goals to ensure everyone is on the same page.
4. When don’t hold people accountable - It means demanding, but not demeaning. Lack of accountability weakens standards and erodes trust. People will be complacent, selfish, and unproductive if they don't see you holding people accountable. It creates responsibility, ownership, and commitment in the team.
5. When you don't recognize and celebrate good work - Failing to recognize and celebrate achievements diminishes hope and even energy. People want to be celebrated and appreciated for positive achievements. Celebrating successes reinforces the positive behavior you're looking for.

Teachers: The number of days to spend with students this year is limited. Ensure that each student knows you care by approaching them with GRACE while you help them problem solve to learn and grow through ACCOUNTABILITY. #finishstrong#BISTon@OurCornerstones
Teachers-one thing we can all be grateful for is the opportunity to impact students in a positive way. This week, lean into the relationship of the student who is struggling. This will go along way in that student’s confidence and worth. #bethechange#BISTon@OurCornerstones
Leaders-are you helping your staff live the concepts of Grace and Accountability not only with students, but also with each other? We must make these concepts our belief system in order to build a cohesive culture of compassion for all. #BISTon@OurCornerstones
Leaders—this year help your staff regain energy and impact with students who struggle. Ensure that collaborative meetings allow adults to walk away with a positive action. More like-minded, and knowing they are supported. This increases hope for impact. #BISTon@OurCornerstones
