School Culture and academic press must be aligned to operationalize the mission

5 pillars of a culture of achievement

Welcome
Do no harm
Choice words
It’s never too late to learn
Best school in the universe

Welcome - inclusive - feel welcome all the time - all needs met - blur line between us and them - staff and pupils , adults and kids - put you in charge of the campus environment

Do no harm
Meet Ethical standards not follow rules - develop own ethical compass
Understand impact of behavior on others
Develop plan to harm done
Actively involve others

Choice words
Choose words when interacting with others - words have impact -
Reflect daily on the words you choose

It’s never too late to learn
Grading based. Multiple opportunities to prove competency and demonstrate what you’ve learned
Chance to go for an A again if get a C
No grade 'gotchas'
Classroom climate in which errors and mistakes allowed and encouraged

Best School in Universe!
We will strive to be the best at all times
Not a competitive concept
Internal accountability not external comparison
Reflect daily on your academic commitment
Schools with a high level of student engagement have a much more positive environment


We aren’t freaks but we’re not normal

A very diverse campus - the pillars are the glue allows us to function with this diversity

On the cutting edge of grading reform
Behavior is not part of the grade
Encourage risk taking and revision
A lot of collaborative learning

Schoology - a data tracking system - regular use assists all stakeholders
It’s where students put their work
Training videos on how to use it

Welcome day - on Friday

Productive failure is something we believe in

JK Rowling on her epic failure - I was the biggest failure I knew - failure makes a stripping away of inessentials - set free - my greatest fear has been realized - rock bottom became a solid foundation - impossible to live without failures unless live so cautiously that never lived - need to be tested by adversity

This school is challenging

Be a gritty learner
