The Wheelhouse

In this second episode of season six, Kathy, Penny and I continue to explore the impact of looking at our work through a deficit lens. Specifically, we wonder about the juxtaposition of the deficit way of thinking with the human factor and with the startling realizing at that our children have but one chance to thrive at any grade level. It's another thought-provoking episode in highlighting how Accomplishment-Driven Leaders rethink how they disrupt the educational landscape to better support each student and each educator.

It's that time of year! We are either already underway in the 2023-2024 school year or we are in the midst welcoming staff back and preparing for our students to return. Last week we talked about the opening days of the school year ADL style. This week, we're going to revisit a Wheelhouse Classic Episode from Season 4. Back in March 2023, Grant, Kathy and Penny were deep in weekly discussions about the many paradigm shifts Accomplishment-Driven Leaders make as they choose a new destination and a different way of getting there. In this episode, they talked about moving beyond feedback to steering, supporting and expecting growth for all those who are in their charge. As the new year begins, let's commit to growth and recognize that feedback alone will never get us to where we really need to go for each learner!

Join Kathy Mohney, Penny Brockway and Grant in this episode where we explore how an Accomplishment-Driven Leader rethinks the opening days of school to cultivate and nurture growth in each educator and student.
