Monday Moanin Thoughts #171 Suggestions For A Positive 2015-16 Start
Welcome to a hot, humid Monday Moanin in August 2015. It feels like a new school year is right around the corner? What a great time to begin reflecting on your work and practice. As I prepared for this blog, I thought what would I need to be considering to get the year off to a positive and productive start. Listed below are a few suggestions for you to consider using at the beginning of a new year. Give them a try or use them as a prompt to consider other strategies or areas to focus your attention. Here they are:
- Plan for your vision or passion. Write a list of three things that are most important and make it a priority to get them done.
- Implement daily huddles or checkins with your administrative team. They need to be a part of your culture, everyday.
- Focus your efforts and those of your staff on the 3 L’s for students. Lockers, Lunch, and Lost. No matter what grade level K-12. Learners in some form or another have anxiety over one of the L’s. Help them out!
- Remember that leadership is much more about who you are than what you do. Lead!
- This is a great time to get guidance from someone you trust.
I hope that things are progressing well as you prepare or if you have already started a new year. Hopefully some of these will help you out. Have a great week and keep finding the good stuff.
