McKinney ISD’s Post

I am thrilled to be a part of this webinar on Strategic Planning, alongside some of the most intelligent people I know! Are you curious to learn about how different districts approach strategic planning. Do urban and rural districts have different approaches? What are some emerging trends in strategic planning nationwide and their future implications? If you're curious about any of those questions, you should consider attending!

Let's talk about strategy in public ed. See you later today.

For those of us who played sports growing up, we know the power of a good coach. That person who helped you improve your skillset, identify your role in a team and celebrate your successes. A good coach also is there to point out where you can improve and give you the tools, resources and guidance to make those improvements and get to the next level. There is perhaps no other industry where coaching is more beneficial than in healthcare. Leaders at all levels—from first-time managers to the C-Suite—can benefit from having one-on-one, individualized guidance from a trained, professional coach. In what can be a chaotic workday, it’s essential that healthcare leaders understand how to be mindful of what they are doing and why they are doing it.

School leadership is a steep and constant learning curve. And there are minimal opportunity to develop outside of prescribed trainings Here are 5 risks of neglecting leadership development 1. Lack of growth: with unaddressed blindspots you may hamper both personal and school-wide growth. 2. Conflict escalation: Without clear goals and conflict resolution strategies, minor issues can escalate into major conflicts. 3. Decreased staff morale: Unclear leadership can cause a drop in staff morale, discouraging effective teaching and team cohesion. 4. Diminished student success: Without a positive and organized leadership structure, student success and satisfaction can decrease.  5. Impact on school reputation: Neglected leadership improvement can damage your school’s reputation and standing within the community.

Do you have the right data to get better at "getting better" in doing school? Does your data represent over 30 years of research and over 20 years of evidence that schools are 10x more likely to attain and sustain change when strong and healthy in three of the 5 conditions that matter most in doing school? More noteworthy is the reality that if your school has a sustained weakness in even 1 of the 5 conditions... you have less than a 10% chance of change occurring?

Tag an educator and thank them for being a SOLUTION. No matter the state, city or zip code I always start my professional development session by asking this question. “Why did you decide to become an educator?” 100% of the responses are tied to a problem our students , athletes or teacher are faced with everyday. There is no debate that the current state of education has many challenges. One of the biggest challenges is old school leadership practices solving new world problems. This week, as we display gratitude for teachers and school leaders from around the country, I want them to know that they are not just a teacher or a school leader; they are a solution to a problem that exists in this world. Their contribution to this world is they don’t have to, but GET TO help solve that problem every day when they show up for their purpose. I GET the opportunity to provide professional development to educators and school leaders from around the country on cultivating a positive experience for their students. It’s about creating an environment built on connection by leading with EQ, not just IQ. To the teachers and school leaders from around the world THANK YOU for accepting the challenge. Let’s continue to TAKE THE LEAD TOGETHER
