Lindsay Whorton - A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Reimagining Roles - 792

Lindsay Whorton - A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Reimagining Roles. This is episode 792 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Dr. Lindsay Whorton is proud to be a founding member of The Holdsworth Center. She helped design the Center’s programming and has served as president since 2019. Under Lindsay’s leadership, Holdsworth has grown from serving seven public school districts through its initial offering – the Holdsworth Partnership – to serving more than 1,900 leaders in 89 public school districts across several programs, all designed to build a bench of stronger superintendents and principals for Texas public schools. Lindsay’s story with Holdsworth began in 2015, when Charles Butt, Chairman of H-E-B, tapped her to work with an organizing board designing the center’s first programs. At the time, Lindsay was working as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Washington D.C. She officially joined The Holdsworth Center team shortly after its launch in January 2017. In her role as managing director of district support, Lindsay helped create and evolve Holdsworth’s model for supporting partner districts to develop aspiring leaders, place them in leadership roles and support them as they progress along their leadership journey. Lindsay’s dive into education research began in 2009, when she was named a Rhodes Scholar and went on to earn a master’s degree in comparative social policy and a doctorate in social policy from Oxford University. During her time at Oxford, Lindsay spent a year at the University of Helsinki, where she was a Fulbright Scholar. She visited schools and classrooms to understand Finland’s world-renowned teacher education system. In 2016, Routledge published her book Teachers Unions and Education Reform in Comparative Contexts, which examined the impact of teachers’ unions on performance-related pay reform in Finland, Switzerland, Texas and Florida. A native of Independence, Missouri, Lindsay earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and English from Drake University in Iowa, where she served as a captain of the women’s basketball team. Lindsay helped lead the underdog team to a Cinderella finish in 2007 by winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship and was named the tournament’s outstanding player and a First-Team Academic All-American. Our focus today is ... Lindsay’s new book- A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Re-imagining Roles So much to learn and think about! Great conversation!

Mediocrity - Part 4: Not in These Classes - 788

Mediocrity - Part 4: Not in These Classes. This is episode 788 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Mediocrity creeps into being when something should have been done but wasn't. Ignored or the thought that somehow the issue would fix itself or go away allows mediocrity to cement itself to the school or organization. It becomes accepted as how we do things here. A shrug and a comment, "It's just life in our building. You get used to it." The great thing is that not every teacher or administrator is swayed by the trap of "it's ok." There are educators who probably come to mind that are far from mediocre, matter of fact they are incredible examples of what life in classrooms and schools should be like. I have been in public education for 39 years. Over those years I have had the good fortune of working with some amazing educators. (I have previously shared some of the memories of the ones who weren't good.) Now it is time to share some thoughts about a few of the educators I have had the good fortune of calling teammates or supervisors. I learned and experienced much over the years. I always wanted to be surrounded by colleagues who didn't try to be mediocre. I wanted to work with those peers who wanted to make a difference and spent the time and energy on trying to do just that. In this episode I share some stories about amazing educators who I worked with. They were educators who understood that to make a difference you had to know what you were trying to accomplish. They knew that you had to be purposeful about what you needed to do. They figured out that to make a difference you had to commit to the time it required, make plans, collaborate with others, and be prepared to fail and learn from the failure. There was not mediocrity their classes. So much to think about! Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing! Before you go... You could help support this podcast by Buying Me A Coffee.

Mediocrity- Part 3: Could I Have Done More?

Mediocrity: Could I Have Done More? This is episode 787 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Mediocrity creeps into being when something should have been done but wasn't. Ignored or the thought that somehow the issue would fix itself or go away allows mediocrity to cement itself to the school or organization. It becomes accepted as how we do things here. A shrug and a comment, "It's just life in our building. You get used to it." What is going on in your building where mediocrity has been able to foment? In this episode I share some specific examples of mediocrity that was allowed to be the norm, the status quo, the way they did things in a few schools. Was there someone there asking - "Could I have done more?" Could I have done something to set the organization on the correct path and pushed the accepted meh practices out? Could I have replaced the bad practices with something better that focused the school on working together? Hope that while you listen that you think about what accepted aspects of your work environment should be identified as a waste of time, eliminated, and replaced with practices that encourage collaboration and assist with accomplishing the mission of the organization, building, or school.

Mediocrity: Settling for Ok - 786

Mediocrity: Settling for OK. This is episode 786 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Mediocrity can find its place in your building by you not paying attention to what is going on in your setting. It can manifest by allowing things to go unaddressed. There are challenges in our schools where situations can arise that are going to take time and require our full attention. Unfortunately, that time commitment can cause some to ignore and move on. In other words, the leader puts a blind fold to his eyes and covers his ears and says, "I see nothing, I hear nothing." By doing this the climate will be adequate. It will be just ok. Mediocrity will settle in for a long time. So much to think about! Thanks for listening! Thanks for sharing! Before you go... You could help support this podcast by Buying Me A Coffee.

Substance, not fluff, on education

I love listening to Steven Miletto’s interviews with people who are making their mark on education, and I’m honored that he chose me to participate. First of all, these are people who are getting things done, they are in the ten he’s with educators and students. Second, I know from experience that Steven’s probing questions, which are based on decades of experience, get to the key issues, obstacles, and opportunities facing education. Third, he makes each post entertaining and fun in addition to informative and eye-opening.
