Before we get started, I have two quick announcements

1.     I’ve been hearing a strong interest in how to support beginning teachers. I went into some key practices last year in episodes 214 and 215, so if you are in the mode to think about how to support your BTs (and ECTs), give a listen to episodes 214 and 215

2.     The July 22 episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast we feature a panel discussion with myself and five assistant principals. Some are national/state AP of the Year awardees and others are just wrapping up their first year as assist principals. The focus of our discussion is being a first year AP! We would love to hear from you. If you have questions, topics, advice, or stories, please consider sharing. Please email them to me at [email protected]. I would love to be able to name contributors but will only do so if you explicitly give permission for us to include your name and affiliation. We are recording on July 15, so don’t wait.

Okay, now onto the episode…

Show Notes, Episode X: Title

About this show:

Ever wonder why we are always driving change in our schools? Ever wonder why change initiatives rarely seem to produce the promised results? What if there was a better way? What if, instead of making sweeping changes, we just made tomorrow a little bit better today? If the concept of incremental yet immediate change appeals to you, then listen to todays show on the four principles of leverage

Notable Quotes

Frederick

The work of leadership is really the work to align organizations because when the people, resources, and structures are all in alignment with the purpose, then you have an effective organization that is making progress and that people feel good about working in.

Leadership is inherently connected with change

Usually what happens with big change is we don’t conclude it, it just kind of fades away and we get to abandonment, so we never get to the evaluation phase

Instead of looking at all kinds of changes and being sophisticated, lets be as simple as possible.

Motivation = Value / Effort
