You don’t have to be an administrator, grade level chair, or department head to be a leader in you school. Your title doesn’t matter. You just need to care about making it better. Passion and commitment can transform any culture.
@SteeleThoughts Passion is important but it is the power structure that is turning the wheels.. it gets frustrating when they just pretend to listen but do not make any changes.
@SteeleThoughts @MicheleHelmink You don’t work where I work.
@SteeleThoughts I’d like to see custodians and food service staff represented on building site councils.
@SteeleThoughts I agree that you can lead the charge but when no one follows, year after year.. it’s time to move on.
@SteeleThoughts @BronwynJeffree Not in my experience. If you are trying to transform a toxic culture, you need to either be in upper management or have support at that level. In my experience (Australian NFP and Gov) there is apathy, fear and soulless lack of vision.
@SteeleThoughts Agreed, title doesn’t matter since transformation cannot be a top-down process. Critical pedagogues believe genuine educational transformation occurrs through conscientization: a dialogical process between students and TEACHERS to unveil and combat oppressive social realities.

@SteeleThoughts There are plenty of those kinds of adults in a school building :)
