Catching Up with Casey

How Successful Leaders Stay OFF the Hamster Wheel


Listen Later

Sometimes you might think you want a do-over, but do you really want to experience deja vu as an instructional leader? Do you REALLY want to be part of a Groundhog Day movie?? Heck no! We want to see our people thrive and see our schools make progress!

Here's how you know you're experiencing school leadership deja vu:

1. You notice yourself asking, "Didn't we do this PD last year AND the year before that? Why are we still having to do this?"

2. You get the feeling that people have been told what the goal is, but no one is really implementing it and you don't know why.

3. You provide PD to your staff that seems to go REALLY well, but then people keep doing the same comfortable things in their classroom with little to NO shift.

4. You hear the SAME questions again and again about an instructional focus or practice the school has been focused on for months now!

In this episode, I'm sharing what creates the "hamster wheel" and how successful school leaders get OFF the hamster wheel and OUT of that Groundhog Day movie!
