Cascade PBS’ Post

I've been making a list of the funniest things my Gen Z students have said in class. Here are the 3 that make me laugh/cry/gasp 😂 : 1. "Did McDonalds drive thrus exist in 2003 or had they not been invented yet?" 2. "What is HGTV?" (not kidding, ~50% of 130 students said they'd never heard of this network) 3. "Tivo was a VCR...I'm not sure exactly sure what a VCR was but Tivo was that." Here's the deal. As marketers, we believe everyone knows everything we do about our product but being around a new generation always reminds me that we all start with a different reality. Remember to share the basics. #genz #professor #funny #personaldevelopment #brandbuilding

How do you truly know if your work has made an impact? This is one way we know to have worked. ‘Keeping in constant contact with our clients, even after the program has finished’. We’ve seen it all before, haven’t we? A service provider delivers on a promise over a given period and the recipients toddle off with a bucket load of ideas and a goal of bringing them to life. 5 minutes later, they are back at their desks and that troublesome word ‘reality’ has kicked in faster than I can add the new Jaws Lego set to my never-ending online basket. By the end of the day, it’s like being back at work 24 hours after you’ve enjoyed the holiday of a lifetime and feeling like you never went. You know the one. Our job isn’t just about delivering in the moment so that everyone leaves happy and inspired. It’s about ensuring that the investment you made continues to pay off long after our original time together has passed. Learnings are no good left in a drawer. We make sure they stay front of mind. What have you learnt that you are still actively implementing today?

Still no progress toward your school's goals? Here’s your chance to tackle challenges like teacher effectiveness and retention, disproportionality and equity gaps, and improving your school's culture and climate while giving your team the support they need to succeed. 🌟 Ask me about my Black Friday Special! I'm practically giving away the support. Case Study: After implementing Dr. Turney’s equity plan’s recommendations, the school experienced an 80% improvement in culture and climate, as reported by both students and teachers in an end-of-year post-survey. 🎯 #mondaymotivation #MondayMomentum #continuousimprovement #SchoolSuccess #educationmatters #schoolculture #schoolclimate #educationrevolution #StudentOutcomes #studentsuccess #schoolproblems #ContinuousGrowth

This new study from EdWeek Market Brief keeps repeating one of my biggest pet peeves in the #professionaldevelopment landscape. In a survey on "in person" and "virtual" #pd, they keep using the verb "delivered" to describe a professional development experience. You can't "deliver" development. It isn't a package. It's an ongoing, iterative process. Anybody who is "delivering" #professionallearning to #schools isn't worth the time or money. It doesn't matter if it's in person or virtual. https://lnkd.in/gc2XVPd2 #schoolleadership #schoolleaders #educationalleadership Sibme
