Culture is not just one thing; it’s everything. Culture drives expectation and beliefs. Expectations and beliefs drive behaviors. Behaviors drive habits. And habits create the future. It all starts with culture.

Three things you control every day are your ATTITUDE, your EFFORT and your ACTIONS. It doesn’t matter what others are doing or who you think is being unfair. Every day you can focus on being positive, working hard and making others around you better.
You are stronger than they think. Your heart is bigger than they know.
You have more in you than they can see.
Your positivity is greater than their negativity.
They’ll be surprised when you accomplish something great. But you won’t.
You knew you had in you.

How do you think about accountability? Is it “Gotcha” or “I’ve got you.” Rich day of reflection on what leaders at classroom, school, and district can do in their own practice to make powerful learning experiences for 👦🏾👧🏻 building Part I of a theory of change. #bcls59
