from J-
Digging into the climate and culture data was healthy for us to do, and now you have the opportunity and charge to carry to your staff. Last week I finished reading The Power of Moments by Chip & Dan Heath (great book - add to your professional library). There were two specific points from their book that applies to our using data:
1) "Trip over the data" - while it is difficult to schedule epiphanies, there may some fantastic moments of aha's in reviewing the district, division, and site data that should give you and your reflection, refinement and/or pivot point to move forward.
2) Stretch for insight - I was reassured through so many discussions that climate, culture and safety are directly correlated to the center of our elementary focus. Examining site and individual core beliefs about relationships and harnessing their awesome power is a non-negotiable, and the hinge point of our work.
Thank you for all you do! Make it an amazing week!
