School Leadership Reimagined Robyn Jackson

Have you ever offered teachers support only to have them complain about it later? If so, then today’s episode is for you. Find out the reason teachers often resist our support (and it’s NOT because they’re resistant to change) and how the way we were trained to offer support actually creates resentment on both sides. Then, discover the simple phrase Builders use to enlist teachers as partners in their own support and how you can offer teachers the exact support they need every time #LikeABuilder

The reason we offer PD to our teachers is that we are hoping to provide with support and resources so that they are more effective in the classroom. So why is it that most PD is so ineffective? In this very practical episode discover the 4 steps you must take to make your PD more useful to teachers and more impactful for students. It's time to stop working really hard and seeing very little results from our PD efforts and start offering teachers meaningful PD #LikeABuilder.

Someone asked me recently how you could tell if someone was truly a Builder. Anyone can SAY that they have a 100% vision, but how can you really know if they mean it? It’s a great question and on today’s episode, I’ll give you 3 ways to tell if someone is truly a Builder or if they are just talking the talk. Once you understand these 3 things, you’ll not only be able to tell if someone else is a Builder, you’ll also be able to check yourself to make sure that you are truly approaching your work #LikeABuilder. 

Have you ever launched a new initiative hoping it would solve a big problem, and been disappointed by the results? We all have. But the difference between those who ultimately succeed and those who continue to struggle isn’t so much the plan they use, but how well they stick to their plans. On today’s episode, we’ll talk about the power of consistency and how you can leverage it to go farther faster #LikeABuilder. 

Have you ever gone to a conference, or read a book, or listened to a podcast and thought “I need to do that” only to realize months later that you haven’t done a thing? Do you have notebooks full of ideas and a camera roll full of snaps of slides from presentations you’ve long forgotten? We’ve all done it. And we think that if we were just more organized or more focused, we’d be better at implementing. But the truth is, implementing on what you learn is a skill, and on today’s episode, I’m breaking down that skill step by step so that you can stop hoarding information and start implementing  #LikeABuilder. 

This episode is next in a series of practical episodes about how to focus on the right work and stop wasting time on things that don’t matter. Today, we’re looking at the difference between the way that we were trained to do quarterly planning and the way that Builders do quarterly planning. I’ll take you step-by-step through the simple process Builders use and show you how this process can help you eliminate your biggest challenges on-by-one #LikeABuilder.
