Welcome to a new school year- Hello and welcome to a new school year!! You’re excited to get in your rooms and make copies and review your lesson plans but I want you to know how appreciated you are. I want you to have a fantastic year. And to make that happen, I want you reflect on the culture you want to intentionally build; culture determines how well you, co-workers, and students will do it. Culture is behaviors, which are determined by beliefs, which are created by experiences. Now, think back to your best day at work. What made it an awesome day? What made it a remarkable memory? Who was involved? Where and when did something special happen? Remember all details of it?
What I have found working with teams over the last many years is that people are happier and more successful when we shift our focus from being blessed (thinking only of ourselves) to being a blessing (thinking of & serving others).
That is what makes you special as teachers and school staff… Yes, a quality curriculum is important, and beautiful facilities are nice. But it is a supportive staff interested in helping others that is ALWAYS responsible for changing the trajectory of people’s lives!!
The message I’m sharing today is simple - Service, encouragement and connection are what make your strategy succeed!!
The culture you create with your behaviors in your classroom and Professional Development will determine how many awesome days you have! I hope you have a lot of them, because what you do is important and appreciated.
