The Good Stuff
1. Do “Restorative Practices” work in schools? School discipline is a widely debated topic among educators. Have you developed your own philosophy about school discipline? Take a minute and a half to see what Jamie Brown has to say about it.
2. As we head into summer, remember this: It’s never too early to start thinking about how you are going to retain next year’s staff. Teacher retention is more important than ever. Be intentional about it.
3. What is your school’s stance on cell phones? What will your stance be when you are the person who has to make that decision? Check out the findings in this study on smartphone bans in schools.
Meanwhile, on Social Media…
Are the concepts of having a “results orientation” and being “focused on the process” mutually exclusive? Share your thoughts in the comments.
This is such a simple way to help improve your school culture.
Book Recommendation(s)
Summer is a great time to start thinking about how you are going to impact school culture. Here are three of Dr. Croy’s favorite reads on school culture from the last year:
School Culture Rewired by Todd Whitaker and Steve Gruenert
Transforming School Culture: How to Overcome Staff Division by Anthony Muhammad
Closing the Attitude Gap: How to Fire Up Your Students to Strive for Success by Baruti Kafele
Final Thought
Enjoy your summer. Get some rest and relaxation, but take the opportunity to sharpen your mind. There is no better time to dive deep into a topic that you know you need to know more about.
