Mediocrity- Part 3: Could I Have Done More?


Listen Later

Mediocrity: Could I Have Done More? This is episode 787 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. 

Mediocrity creeps into being when something should have been done but wasn't. Ignored or the thought that somehow the issue would fix itself or go away allows mediocrity to cement itself to the school or organization. It becomes accepted as how we do things here. A shrug and a comment, "It's just life in our building. You get used to it." 

What is going on in your building where mediocrity has been able to foment?

In this episode I share some specific examples of mediocrity that was allowed to be the norm, the status quo, the way they did things in a few schools. Was there someone there asking - "Could I have done more?" Could I have done something to set the organization on the correct path and pushed the accepted meh practices out? Could I have replaced the bad practices with something better that focused the school on working together? 

Hope that while you listen that you think about what accepted aspects of your work environment should be identified as a waste of time, eliminated, and replaced with practices that encourage collaboration and assist with accomplishing the mission of the organization, building, or school.

So much to think about!

Thanks for listening!
