We challenge the idea that growth means titles and argue for growth as trust, feedback, and purpose. We show why recognition must highlight effort and progress, not just results, to build durable school culture that lifts students.

• defining growth as psychological before positional
• the three growth questions staff ask
• feedback that builds and trust that expands responsibility
• recognition as fuel and what to celebrate
• the danger of outcomes-only praise
• leader prompts to align strengths with stretch
• culture trickling down from staff to students
• simple checks to see if staff feel seen and growing
