What an impactful message this morning from @Joe_Sanfelippo at the Kaysinger Conference professional development event! Our PD is better than your PD! Lead from where you are!
Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.
Effective leaders don't feel the need to micromanage because they know their staff are the experts. They know their role is to sometimes mentor, always support and encourage, but never micromanage. Effective leadership is about getting the best out of those you lead!
The phrase “behavior problem” drives me crazy. There is no such thing as a behavior problem child in school. Behaviors are not the problem they are always solutions kids pick to their problems. Focus on the underlying cause for real results. #thatonekid
The first week of school should focus on building relationships. And part of that is establishing routines, procedures, and expectations. Consistency helps students feel more secure.
