All Improvement Requires Change, Not all Change is an Improvement
April 27, 2023
All Improvement Requires Change, Not all Change is an Improvement
Leadership requires change management. Whether it’s intentional or not, leaders will spend most of their time managing change. It could be driven by state mandates, board elections, or local community issues. Successfully managing change is what will separate a great leader from a mediocre or underperforming leader. If navigated properly, it can create a win-win environment. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case. School leaders get thrust into the change process and often do more damage than good. All improvement requires change, but not all change is an improvement. What happens when change initiatives go wrong? Outcomes don’t improve as intended, staff members become frustrated, leaders are weakened, and the culture of cynicism begins to develop making future change initiatives that much more difficult. “This too shall pass” becomes the motto of the day and now even the most promising initiatives will struggle to gain traction.

All visuals a child is exposed to send a message to the child so classroom visuals should be chosen with intentionality. Further, classroom visuals should be seen as an opportunity to build inclusion and identity with students.

The presentation ends with resources for teachers to increase diverse representation in their classroom content, as well as a personal call to action to 1) continuously increase their exposure to different types of people, and 2) keep an open mind to recognize and address their own biases.

Curriculum Violence
January 24, 2024
Curriculum Violence
At its inception in 2010, Ighodaro and Wiggins defined curriculum violence as, “the deliberate manipulation of academic programming which compromises the intellectual or psychological well-being of learners.” Over the years we have come to know that intent matters very little when gauging the impact that curriculum violence has on learners.
