SHOW NOTES
Dr. Robyn R. Jackson is the CEO of Mindsteps Inc. and the creator of Buildership University. She’s the author of multiple educational books and the host of the School Leadership Reimagined Podcast. She’s helped thousands of teachers and administrators turn their classrooms into success stories.
She’s passionate about all students being successful and pursuing your vision with passion. We also have a “need to know” where I talk about visioning and expectations from what you would like things to look like three years from now. I also talk about the importance of progress over perfection. This episode is inspiring for everyone who wants to be their best self in their schools and classrooms.
Episode Highlights:
[02:40] Need to know: visioning and expectations. If we talked three years from now, what needs to have taken place in order for you to be happy with your progress?
[04:04] Envision what things would look like in the future. Progress not perfection.
[08:30] Robyn's “why” is that every child deserves to be successful at school.
[11:11] What would your school need to look like for every child to be successful? This taps back into our fundamental belief of creating success for every single child.
[12:10] A student story about why it's important to help every student write a successful research paper. Holding students accountable can change the trajectory of their lives.
[17:17] Don't limit your goals. Set big goals to get off the hamster wheel and onto the momentum creating flywheel.
