Hey folks,
Taking a social media break!
Stepping away from all platforms til Jan '25. Election season's always a whirlwind & I'm finding myself spending too much time getting caught up in the noise. Text, call, or let's hangout if you need me.
Take care,
Jon Duncan
Admin, If a formal observation is the first time you are in a teachers classroom, then put the evaluation form away. Just sit, listen, and leave a note of thanks, praise or encouragement. Relationships first!
Best retention plan for keeping great teachers? Treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.
Did you know? Nearly 50% of school principals report experiencing significant burnout. Stressed out leaders create stressed out teams. Taking time this summer to recharge and refresh not only benefits you but also benefits your whole team.
As an administrator, I was fortunate enough to figure out that leadership isn't always about evaluating, giving feedback, or critiquing. Sometimes, it's about offering words of encouragement or praise, and other times, it's about saying nothing at all and simply being present.
📣 This is exciting!! 🥳

Bullying shouldn’t be part of leadership. Thankfully most aren’t like this. But here are some of the signs of
bullying:
* lack transparency
* use title/ position as power
* tell instead of ask
* demeaning/disrespectful
* lack empathy
* refuse feedback/ input
* favors yes people
Culture isn't a sign on the wall or a phrase you repeat in meetings. It’s not a catchy slogan.
Culture is the way your team works, speaks, cares, solves, believes.
Create culture daily. Create culture on purpose.
