Next 100 days for deeper impact

I had the privilege of working with the Horning SAIL team this week and I am thrilled by that team's progress around their 3 priority areas; PLC's, feedback, and cultural proficiency. Every school and their 100 day plans in essence have "expired" and so in the spirit of an approaching new year (2018) and the importance of reflecting back to move forward, have your SAIL teams done just that? Have you done that, as an individual teacher, have you reflected on your growth and your student's growth as we approach the next 100 days?

Principals will be presenting their quarterly reviews to central office administrators next week and we are asking each of them to give us student performance data, adult practice data and organizational health data that communicate results thus far.

Are data and results evident in the culture of your school? I want to commend the Horning SAIL team members for having honest conversations yesterday about what they have to celebrate progress and what their next edges of growth are. This was a powerful group of teacher leaders and with their leadership, I have no doubt that the collective efficacy and the collective capacity building for all is sure to follow.

Thank you to these teacher leaders and administrators and thank you to everyone who is keeping a focused direction on cultivating a collaborative culture upon which we can all do this work better-together!
