Assistant Principal Dr. Amy Fast explores the responsibility of our schools to focus on the mission, not the mandates.

• Microbehaviors
• Google Forms 6–8 questions
• Created statements based on national student Gallup poll
• hopeful
• teachers care
• connection to one staff member
• have friends
• I feel like I matter
• have you ever experienced discrimination?
• Would you report something bad that happened?
• Big changes around professional development
• what we do in schools has a lot more to do with mindset rather than skill set
• Simple ideas are the most profound
• Exit slips from teachers were more personal approaches
• Changing teachers’ mindsets
• What’s best for students is what’s best for teachers
• Collaboration
• How to be a transformative Principal? Teachers need to feel like they matter and feel hopeful about their future. Give staff a voice and let them know on a daily basis how much they matter. Let’s not fill their cups because they need to be there for kids, but because they are human.
