Reflection Week4

The first and last minute of anything we do are the most important! Everything else is window treatment.

My communication handout and self-assessment tool.

Asking questions, at the end of conversations, without judgment:

• I wonder...
• What would happen if...
• I had this thought...(non judgmental)
• I heard that they tried this over...

The last word is not the last word, it is just a summary. If you give the last word, it is a decision

With an employee that has bad attitude:

• Give them the opportunity to explain it first
• “Yesterday with both observed something inappropriate at this school. How should I handle that?”

If you’re in a fair fight, you haven’t prepared yourself enough!

Core Values:

• Equity and Access, Innovation, Excellence, Coherence, Co-Accountability.
• Climate and environment

• Outcomes for students
• Challenge
• Creativity

Everything you do as a principal is dependent upon your norms that you have created, in close alignment with the school’s mission and vision.
