have you ever taken up a hobby with enthusiasm, only to abandon it because life got in the way? maybe you started knitting with dreams of creating beautiful scarves, but now the yarn sits untouched in a box tucked away somewhere. or maybe you once eagerly hiked every weekend, but now your hiking boots sit in the back of your closet, gathering dust. what obstacles got in your way? was it time, support, energy, difficulty, resources, ability? or perhaps your priorities changed?

starting and sustaining a data habit in your school

knowledge is power! measure what matters!

if our cliches are an indicator, we all know that data collection, review, analysis, and understanding is important. we all hear of data-driven decisions, and the importance of data in education and educational systems, but we are often challenged to incorporate data review and the next steps into our everyday lives. in some cases, schools may have deeply embedded practices where data are used only superficially to check a box. data use may be inconsistent across the organization or only occurs in silos. some school districts may even have beliefs and norms – a culture – that actually diminish the potential benefits of assessment and data collection. the truth is that the work to dismantle bad habits and unhealthy systems is really, really hard.

as we built the essential elements of a data culture, we considered how an organizational culture can shift from a culture in which data is in the periphery, pulled to the center for high stakes discussions and decisions, to one in which data is an integral part of every day, informing the small moves that reinforce the vision, clarify decisions, and advance progress.

this is where our love of habits comes in…

three types of leaders every learning organization should have

megan campion — wed, 12 jun 2024 01:29:00 gmt

one of the best things about living your professional life in education is the assumption implicit in the field that everyone has something valuable to contribute, and there is always an opportunity to level up. over the past few years, we have seen this belief confirmed in classrooms, schools, and districts all over the country as teachers, counselors, campus administrators, and district leaders have taken on numerous challenges and endlessly changing demands and limitations in the wake of the pandemic.

why teachers stay: building inspiring, responsive leaders to improve the learning experience for all

in one of our recent blogs, we noted that some teachers list “weak or uninspiring leadership” as a reason they are leaving their positions. those who feel strongly that they are not supported by their school administration are at high risk of calling it quits. if we are relying on school leaders and building administrators to reverse this trend, we need to make sure we are equipping them with the skills they need to recognize, develop, motivate, and support teacher growth and development. for many district leaders, summer offers a perfect window to focus on aspects of their own growth and development.
