Equity-Centered Leadership Development Across Jefferson County Public Schools in Partnership with Spalding University and 2Revolutions
A transcript for conversation between Dr.Glenn Baete and Dr. Shamara Graham.
Change is a Two-Way Street
This style of learning adopted by the public school system does not guarantee that learning is evident nor does it ensure mastery of competency of content. A collaborative approach with a focus on a learner-centered style of teaching is essential. Focusing on the student, emphasizing individual learning styles, and allowing authentic learning to happen are necessary for a learner-centered model.
Say the Thing.
As an organization of former and current educators and leaders, we at 2Revolutions are consistently engaging in the difficult conversations and training for a constant cycle of improvement. When you are in the education world, you know there is never a point in time when you do everything exactly the right way, and when you have learned everything possible. There is always room for growth and things that need to be learned, unlearned, enhanced and changed. We all are human first and we all have flaws. A diamond with a flaw is more valuable than a brick without a flaw. What are you allowing to weigh you down? Throughout the last couple of months, a trend has emerged in our conversations, in our partner meetings, in planning for our internal development sessions, and amongst our coaching staff: that trend is where the title comes from for this piece. “Say the thing.”
Global Labs Network: A Community of School Leaders
Global Lab Schools are a community practice that is driven by a focus on instruction, and is anchored in learner-centered and equitable practices. Throughout the school year, coaches from 2Revolutions and partners from overseas, work with school leaders and their implementation teams to determine school-wide opportunities and build skill sets and systems that will prioritize those opportunities into growth.
