  We
• 0:02
  say
• 0:02
  students
• 0:03
  matter.
• 0:04
  We
• 0:05
  say
• 0:05
  relationships
• 0:06
  matter.
• 0:07
  We
• 0:08
  say
• 0:08
  we're
• 0:08
  building
• 0:09
  future
• 0:09
  ready
• 0:10
  schools.
• 0:12
  But
• 0:12
  if
• 0:12
  we're
• 0:12
  honest,
• 0:14
  most
• 0:14
  of
• 0:14
  what
• 0:14
  we're
• 0:14
  doing
• 0:15
  isn't
• 0:15
  changing
• 0:15
  what's
• 0:16
  happening
• 0:16
  in
• 0:17
  classrooms.
• 0:19
  So
• 0:19
  what
• 0:19
  is
• 0:19
  it?
• 0:21
  Is
• 0:21
  it
• 0:21
  innovation
• 0:23
  or
• 0:23
  is
• 0:24
  it
• 0:24
  theater?
• 0:26
  Today,
• 0:26
  it's
• 0:26
  just
• 0:27
  us,
• 0:27
  the
• 0:28
  Wheelhouse
• 0:28
  team.
• 0:29
  No
• 0:30
  guests,
• 0:31
  no
• 0:31
  buffer.
• 0:33
  Just
• 0:33
  a
• 0:33
  hard
• 0:34
  look
• 0:34
  at
• 0:34
  where
• 0:35
  we're
• 0:35
  drifting
• 0:36
  and
• 0:36
  whether
• 0:37
  we're
• 0:37
  willing
• 0:38
  to
• 0:38
  admit
• 0:38
  it.
• 0:39
  A
• 0:39
  new
• 0:40
  episode
• 0:40
  of
• 0:40
  the
• 0:40
  Wheelhouse
• 0:41
  begins
• 0:42
  right
• 0:42
  now.
• 0:54
  This
• 0:55
  is
• 0:55
  the
• 0:55
  Wheelhouse,
• 0:56
  a
• 0:56
  students
• 0:56
  matter
• 0:57
  podcast
• 0:58
  where
• 0:58
  we
• 0:58
  navigate
• 0:59
  the
• 0:59
  realities
• 0:59
  of
• 1:00
  education
• 1:01
  with
• 1:01
  clarity,
• 1:02
  precision,
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  humanity.
• 1:05
  And
• 1:05
  today,
• 1:06
  we're
• 1:06
  turning
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  lens
• 1:07
  on
• 1:07
  ourselves.
• 1:09
  Over
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  last
• 1:09
  several
• 1:10
  episodes,
• 1:11
  we've
• 1:11
  heard
• 1:11
  from
• 1:12
  students,
• 1:12
  leaders,
• 1:13
  and
• 1:14
  educators.
• 1:15
  We've
• 1:15
  talked
• 1:15
  about
• 1:15
  voice.
• 1:17
  We've
• 1:17
  talked
• 1:17
  about
• 1:17
  systems.
• 1:19
  We've
• 1:19
  talked
• 1:19
  about
• 1:20
  shame,
• 1:21
  identity,
• 1:21
  and
• 1:22
  what
• 1:22
  it
• 1:22
  means
• 1:22
  to
• 1:23
  actually
• 1:23
  be
• 1:24
  seen.
• 1:25
  But
• 1:25
  there's
• 1:26
  a
• 1:26
  question
• 1:26
  sitting
• 1:27
  underneath
• 1:27
  all
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  it.
• 1:30
  Are
• 1:31
  we
• 1:31
  actually
• 1:32
  changing
• 1:32
  anything
• 1:33
  that
• 1:33
  matters,
• 1:35
  or
• 1:36
  are
• 1:36
  we
• 1:36
  just
• 1:36
  talking
• 1:37
  about
• 1:37
  it?
• 1:39
  Because
• 1:39
  here's
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  truth.
• 1:41
  Innovation.
• 1:42
  That
• 1:42
  doesn't
• 1:42
  change
• 1:43
  instruction,
• 1:45
  theater.
• 1:46
  And
• 1:47
  if
• 1:47
  that's
• 1:47
  true,
• 1:48
  then
• 1:48
  we
• 1:48
  have
• 1:49
  to
• 1:49
  ask
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  harder
• 1:50
  question.
• 1:52
  Where
• 1:53
  are
• 1:53
  we
• 1:54
  drifting?
• 1:56
  Not
• 1:56
  because
• 1:57
  we
• 1:57
  don't
• 1:57
  care,
• 1:59
  but
• 1:59
  because
• 2:00
  our
• 2:00
  systems
• 2:01
  aren't
• 2:01
  billed
• 2:02
  to
• 2:02
  hold
• 2:03
  this
• 2:03
  coherence.
• 2:05
  So
• 2:05
  today,
• 2:06
  it's
• 2:06
  just
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  Wheelhouse
• 2:08
  team,
• 2:09
  Kathy
• 2:09
  Mone,
• 2:10
  Michael
• 2:11
  Pipa,
• 2:11
  and
• 2:12
  Dr.
• 2:12
  Alicia
• 2:12
  Munro.
• 2:13
  And
• 2:14
  me
• 2:14
  digging
• 2:15
  into
• 2:15
  where
• 2:15
  drift
• 2:16
  shows
• 2:17
  up,
• 2:18
  why
• 2:18
  it's
• 2:18
  so
• 2:18
  hard
• 2:19
  to
• 2:19
  interrupt,
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  what
• 2:21
  it
• 2:21
  actually
• 2:21
  takes
• 2:21
  to
• 2:22
  build
• 2:22
  systems
• 2:22
  that
• 2:23
  prove,
• 2:24
  not
• 2:24
  just
• 2:25
  say
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  students
• 2:27
  matter.
• 2:28
  Let's
• 2:29
  get
• 2:29
  into
• 2:29
  it.
• 2:36
  Good

  And

  I
• 2:42

  most

  amazing

  human
• 2:48
  beings

  that
• 2:50
  have
• 2:50
  ever
• 2:50
  walked

  planet.

  Good
• 3:01
  morning.
• 3:03

• 3:07
  if
• 3:07

• 3:08
  are
• 3:08
  one
• 3:08
  of
• 3:08
  the
• 3:09
  most
• 3:09
  incredible
• 3:10
  humans
• 3:10
  on
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  planet?
• 3:11
  The
• 3:11
  planet.
• 3:12
  Yeah.
• 3:13
  What's
• 3:14
  a
• 3:14
  better
• 3:14
  response?
• 3:15
  I'm
• 3:15
  just
• 3:16
  awe
• 3:16
  inspired.
• 3:22
  And
• 3:22
  episode
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  over.
• 3:27
  Mic
• 3:27
  drop.
• 3:28
  We'll
• 3:28
  see
• 3:28
  you
• 3:28
  next
• 3:28
  week
• 3:29
  on
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  Wheelhouse.
• 3:30
  Yes.
• 3:31
  Yes.
• 3:31
  Yes.
• 3:32
  So,
• 3:32
  hey,
• 3:32
  welcome
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  episode
• 3:34
  eight.
• 3:35
  Right.
• 3:35
  This
• 3:36
  season
• 3:36
  is
• 3:37
  fast
• 3:37
  approaching
• 3:38
  its
• 3:38
  conclusion
• 3:39
  already?
• 3:39
  It
• 3:39
  seems
• 3:40
  like
• 3:40
  we
• 3:40
  just
• 3:40
  started
• 3:42
  it.
• 3:42
  Does
• 3:43
  it?
• 3:43
  Does
• 3:44
  these
• 3:44
  recording
• 3:45
  sessions
• 3:45
  really
• 3:47
  just
• 3:48
  feed
• 3:48
  our
• 3:48
  souls
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  then,
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  know,
• 3:50
  keep
• 3:51
  us
• 3:51
  going?
• 3:51
  And
• 3:51
  I
• 3:52
  think
• 3:52
  that's
• 3:52
  what
• 3:52
  makes
• 3:53
  it
• 3:53
  just
• 3:53
  fly
• 3:54
  by.
• 3:55
  You
• 3:55
  know,
• 3:55
  we
• 3:56
  look.
• 3:56
  I
• 3:56
  look
• 3:56
  forward
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  Tuesdays.
• 3:58
  So
• 3:58
  it's.
• 3:58
  What
• 3:59
  day
• 3:59
  is
• 3:59
  it?
• 3:59
  What
• 3:59
  day
• 3:59
  is
• 4:00
  it?
• 4:00
  It's
• 4:01
  recording
• 4:02
  day.
• 4:03
  Terrific.
• 4:04
  Tuesday.
• 4:06
  Yes.
• 4:08
  So
• 4:08
  here
• 4:08
  we
• 4:08
  are.
• 4:09
  In
• 4:09
  episode
• 4:10
  eight
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  season
• 4:11
  12,
• 4:11
  we've
• 4:11
  really
• 4:12
  been
• 4:12
  exploring
• 4:13
  this
• 4:13
  idea
• 4:14
  of
• 4:15
  future
• 4:15
  ready
• 4:16
  schools,
• 4:17
  innovation
• 4:17
  rooted
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  humanity,
• 4:19
  built
• 4:20
  by
• 4:20
  coherent
• 4:21
  human
• 4:22
  systems.
• 4:22
  We've
• 4:23
  had
• 4:23
  some
• 4:23
  really
• 4:24
  powerful
• 4:25
  conversations
• 4:27
  with
• 4:28
  a
• 4:28
  whole
• 4:28
  bunch
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  people.
• 4:29
  We
• 4:29
  had
• 4:29
  some
• 4:30
  college
• 4:31
  students
• 4:31
  that
• 4:31
  were
• 4:31
  fantastic.
• 4:33
  We
• 4:33
  had
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  principal,
• 4:35
  we
• 4:35
  had
• 4:36
  an
• 4:36
  educator
• 4:36
  consultant
• 4:37
  who
• 4:37
  was
• 4:37
  also
• 4:37
  a
• 4:38
  parent
• 4:38
  talk
• 4:38
  to
• 4:39
  us.
• 4:39
  We've
• 4:40
  had
• 4:40
  teacher
• 4:41
  candidates
• 4:42
  in
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  pipeline
• 4:43
  from
• 4:43
  Siena
• 4:44
  University
• 4:44
  talk
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  us.
• 4:45
  And
• 4:45
  there's
• 4:46
  just
• 4:46
  been
• 4:46
  a
• 4:47
  lot
• 4:47
  of
• 4:48
  really
• 4:48
  powerful
• 4:50
  conversation.
• 4:51
  And
• 4:51
  I
• 4:51
  hope,
• 4:52
  if
• 4:52
  you're
• 4:52
  listening,
• 4:53
  we're
• 4:53
  obviously
• 4:54
  trying
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  change
• 4:55
  the
• 4:55
  landscape,
• 4:56
  right?
• 4:57
  We
• 4:57
  have
• 4:57
  a
• 4:57
  mission,
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  mission
• 4:59
  is
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  significantly
• 5:01
  change
• 5:02
  what
• 5:02
  children
• 5:02
  and
• 5:03
  educators
• 5:03
  experience.
• 5:04
  And
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  think
• 5:04
  if
• 5:05
  we
• 5:05
  listen
• 5:06
  to
• 5:07
  those
• 5:07
  voices
• 5:08
  of,
• 5:09
  you
• 5:09
  know,
• 5:09
  we've
• 5:10
  all
• 5:10
  been
• 5:10
  in
• 5:10
  education,
• 5:11
  but
• 5:11
  you
• 5:11
  know,
• 5:11
  those
• 5:12
  students
• 5:12
  that
• 5:13
  we
• 5:13
  listened
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  a
• 5:14
  few
• 5:14
  episodes
• 5:14
  ago
• 5:14
  are
• 5:15
  still
• 5:15
  there,
• 5:16
  right,
• 5:16
  as
• 5:17
  end
• 5:17
  users
• 5:18
  of
• 5:19
  that
• 5:19
  work.
• 5:19
  And,
• 5:20
  you
• 5:20
  know,
• 5:20
  we've
• 5:20
  got
• 5:20
  principals
• 5:21
  leading
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  people
• 5:22
  wanting
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  come
• 5:23
  in
• 5:24
  and
• 5:24
  parents.
• 5:25
  There's
• 5:25
  just
• 5:26
  lots
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  different
• 5:26
  voices.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:27
  yet
• 5:27
  to
• 5:27
  come
• 5:28
  will
• 5:28
  be
• 5:29
  some
• 5:29
  K12
• 5:30
  students
• 5:30
  who
• 5:31
  are
• 5:31
  right
• 5:32
  now
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  the
• 5:32
  system,
• 5:33
  and
• 5:34
  we'll
• 5:34
  be
• 5:34
  able
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  hear
• 5:35
  from
• 5:35
  them.
• 5:37
  But
• 5:37
  one
• 5:37
  of
• 5:37
  the
• 5:38
  words
• 5:38
  that
• 5:39
  we've
• 5:39
  been
• 5:39
  using
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  lot,
• 5:40
  not
• 5:40
  our
• 5:41
  guests,
• 5:41
  but
• 5:41
  we've
• 5:42
  been
• 5:42
  using
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  lot,
• 5:42
  is
• 5:42
  this
• 5:43
  word
• 5:44
  drift.
• 5:46
  What
• 5:46
  is
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  word?
• 5:47
  What
• 5:48
  does
• 5:48
  it
• 5:48
  mean?
• 5:48
  I
• 5:49
  love
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  image.
• 5:49
  I
• 5:50
  use
• 5:50
  it
• 5:50
  in
• 5:50
  tactical
• 5:51
  leadership
• 5:52
  all
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  time
• 5:53
  because
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  think
• 5:53
  it's
• 5:53
  just
• 5:53
  powerful.
• 5:54
  It's
• 5:54
  powerful
• 5:55
  when
• 5:56
  you
• 5:56
  are
• 5:57
  picturing
• 5:57
  yourself
• 5:58
  on
• 5:58
  some
• 5:58
  type
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  flotation
• 6:00
  device
• 6:00
  that
• 6:00
  has
• 6:01
  lost
• 6:01
  power
• 6:02
  and
• 6:02
  you
• 6:02
  can't
• 6:02
  head
• 6:03
  where
• 6:03
  you're
• 6:03
  going,
• 6:04
  where
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  want
• 6:04
  to
• 6:04
  go.
• 6:05
  That's
• 6:05
  a
• 6:05
  powerful,
• 6:06
  powerful
• 6:07
  image.
• 6:09
  And
• 6:10
  drift
• 6:11
  happens
• 6:11
  a
• 6:11
  lot
• 6:13
  in
• 6:13
  schools.
• 6:16
  We
• 6:16
  say
• 6:17
  something
• 6:17
  super
• 6:18
  important.
• 6:19
  We
• 6:19
  say
• 6:19
  we're
• 6:20
  about
• 6:21
  whatever
• 6:21
  it
• 6:21
  is
• 6:22
  that
• 6:22
  we're
• 6:22
  about.
• 6:22
  Everybody
• 6:23
  says
• 6:23
  that
• 6:23
  a
• 6:24
  little
• 6:24
  bit
• 6:24
  differently.
• 6:25
  And
• 6:26
  yet
• 6:26
  in
• 6:26
  reality,
• 6:30
  do
• 6:30
  we
• 6:31
  live
• 6:31
  into
• 6:32
  that
• 6:32
  North
• 6:33
  Star?
• 6:33
  Do
• 6:34
  we
• 6:34
  live
• 6:34
  into
• 6:34
  that
• 6:35
  purpose
• 6:37
  every
• 6:38
  minute
• 6:38
  of
• 6:38
  every
• 6:38
  day?
• 6:39
  And
• 6:39
  the
• 6:39
  answer,
• 6:40
  my
• 6:41
  friends,
• 6:42
  is
• 6:42
  no.
• 6:45
  The
• 6:46
  pressure
• 6:46
  gets
• 6:46
  on.
• 6:48
  The
• 6:48
  calendar
• 6:49
  takes
• 6:49
  over
• 6:50
  all
• 6:51
  of
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  myriad
• 6:51
  of
• 6:52
  priorities
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  needs
• 6:54
  and
• 6:55
  wants
• 6:55
  and
• 6:56
  desires.
• 6:56
  And,
• 6:56
  you
• 6:56
  know,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  put
• 6:57
  200
• 6:58
  people
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  building
• 6:58
  and
• 6:59
  200
• 6:59
  people
• 7:00
  have
• 7:00
  a
• 7:00
  different
• 7:01
  or
• 7:01
  200
• 7:01
  different
• 7:02
  ways
• 7:02
  of
• 7:02
  looking
• 7:02
  at
• 7:02
  the
• 7:03
  same
• 7:03
  issue,
• 7:03
  right?
• 7:04
  And
• 7:04
  so
• 7:04
  drift
• 7:06
  happens.
• 7:08
  We
• 7:08
  float
• 7:09
  away.
• 7:10
  Even
• 7:10
  if
• 7:10
  we
• 7:10
  don't
• 7:10
  want
• 7:11
  to,
• 7:11
  we
• 7:12
  float
• 7:12
  away
• 7:13
  slowly,
• 7:14
  sometimes
• 7:14
  rapidly,
• 7:16
  away
• 7:16
  from
• 7:17
  our
• 7:18
  North
• 7:18
  Star.
• 7:19
  And
• 7:19
  we're
• 7:19
  going
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  explore
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  today.
• 7:21
  I've
• 7:21
  got
• 7:21
  the
• 7:22
  coolest
• 7:22
  people
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  have
• 7:23
  ever
• 7:23
  walked
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  planet
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  help
• 7:25
  me
• 7:25
  do
• 7:26
  that.
• 7:26
  So
• 7:27
  I
• 7:27
  just
• 7:27
  want
• 7:27
  to
• 7:28
  throw
• 7:28
  it
• 7:28
  out
• 7:28
  there.
• 7:28
  You
• 7:28
  know,
• 7:29
  schools
• 7:30
  always
• 7:30
  say,
• 7:32
  every
• 7:32
  school
• 7:32
  does.
• 7:33
  And
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  applaud
• 7:34
  them
• 7:34
  for
• 7:34
  saying
• 7:34
  it.
• 7:35
  They
• 7:35
  talk
• 7:35
  about
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  things
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  they
• 7:37
  value,
• 7:38
  what's
• 7:38
  important.
• 7:39
  You
• 7:39
  see
• 7:39
  mission
• 7:40
  statements,
• 7:40
  vision
• 7:41
  statements.
• 7:41
  You
• 7:42
  see
• 7:42
  things
• 7:42
  plastered
• 7:43
  on
• 7:44
  websites
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  T
• 7:45
  shirts
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  posters,
• 7:48
  and
• 7:48
  you
• 7:48
  name
• 7:49
  it,
• 7:49
  right?
• 7:49
  You
• 7:49
  can
• 7:49
  walk
• 7:50
  into
• 7:50
  a
• 7:50
  school
• 7:50
  and
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  can
• 7:51
  see
• 7:52
  beautiful
• 7:53
  intention,
• 7:55
  but
• 7:55
  if
• 7:55
  you
• 7:55
  look
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  little
• 7:55
  bit
• 7:56
  deeper,
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  start
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  uncover
• 7:58
  contradiction.
• 8:01
  And
• 8:01
  I
• 8:01
  want
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  explore
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  for
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  few
• 8:02
  minutes.
• 8:03
  What
• 8:04
  is
• 8:05
  something
• 8:05
  that
• 8:05
  you
• 8:06
  see
• 8:06
  where
• 8:07
  schools
• 8:08
  value,
• 8:10
  but
• 8:10
  their
• 8:10
  daily
• 8:11
  practices
• 8:13
  contradict
• 8:13
  it?
• 8:16
  Schools
• 8:16
  move
• 8:17
  quickly.
• 8:19
  All
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  us
• 8:19
  have
• 8:20
  sat,
• 8:20
  you
• 8:20
  know,
• 8:21
  are
• 8:21
  either
• 8:21
  currently
• 8:22
  sitting
• 8:22
  in
• 8:22
  those
• 8:23
  seats
• 8:23
  or
• 8:23
  have
• 8:23
  sat
• 8:23
  in
• 8:23
  those
• 8:24
  seats.
• 8:24
  I
• 8:24
  was
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  high
• 8:24
  school
• 8:25
  principal,
• 8:25
  and
• 8:26
  I
• 8:26
  moved
• 8:26
  up
• 8:26
  every
• 8:26
  step
• 8:27
  of
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  way
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  that
• 8:27
  and
• 8:28
  then
• 8:28
  became
• 8:28
  an
• 8:28
  assistant
• 8:29
  superintendent.
• 8:30
  Right.
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  had
• 8:31
  23
• 8:31
  schools
• 8:31
  and
• 8:32
  programs
• 8:32
  under
• 8:32
  my
• 8:34
  supervision.
• 8:35
  And
• 8:35
  it
• 8:35
  all
• 8:35
  moves
• 8:36
  so
• 8:36
  quickly.
• 8:36
  I
• 8:37
  think
• 8:37
  about
• 8:37
  Kathy
• 8:38
  and
• 8:38
  her
• 8:38
  space,
• 8:38
  right?
• 8:39
  It
• 8:39
  just
• 8:39
  moves
• 8:39
  so
• 8:39
  quickly.
• 8:41
  It's
• 8:42
  easy
• 8:42
  to
• 8:42
  veer
• 8:43
  off
• 8:43
  track.
• 8:44
  It's
• 8:44
  easy
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  veer
• 8:45
  off
• 8:45
  track
• 8:45
  because
• 8:46
  we're
• 8:47
  constantly
• 8:48
  doing
• 8:48
  what
• 8:49
  we
• 8:49
  needed
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  do
• 8:49
  yesterday,
• 8:50
  today,
• 8:50
  and
• 8:51
  it's
• 8:51
  just
• 8:52
  this.
• 8:53
  And
• 8:54
  it
• 8:54
  switches,
• 8:54
  right?
• 8:55
  This
• 8:55
  reform.
• 8:56
  No,
• 8:56
  this
• 8:56
  program.
• 8:57
  Next
• 8:57
  year
• 8:57
  we're
• 8:57
  doing
• 8:58
  this
• 8:58
  program,
• 8:58
  this
• 8:58
  reform.
• 9:00
  It
• 9:00
  just
• 9:00
  moves
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  point
• 9:02
  where
• 9:02
  it
• 9:03
  causes
• 9:03
  this
• 9:04
  rupture,
• 9:04
  right?
• 9:05
  This
• 9:05
  schism.
• 9:07
  And
• 9:07
  then
• 9:07
  all
• 9:07
  of
• 9:08
  a
• 9:08
  sudden,
• 9:08
  we
• 9:08
  get
• 9:08
  away
• 9:09
  from
• 9:10
  the
• 9:10
  mission
• 9:10
  and
• 9:10
  vision.
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  can't
• 9:12
  begin
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  tell
• 9:13
  you
• 9:14
  how
• 9:14
  many
• 9:14
  times
• 9:14
  I've
• 9:15
  been
• 9:15
  in
• 9:16
  schools
• 9:16
  across
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  country
• 9:17
  and
• 9:17
  even
• 9:17
  internationally,
• 9:19
  and
• 9:20
  I
• 9:20
  bring
• 9:20
  up
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  mission
• 9:21
  statement,
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  educators
• 9:23
  in
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  room
• 9:25
  first
• 9:25
  don't
• 9:25
  know
• 9:26
  what
• 9:26
  it
• 9:26
  is,
• 9:26
  and
• 9:27
  then
• 9:27
  they
• 9:27
  don't
• 9:27
  know
• 9:27
  where
• 9:27
  it
• 9:28
  lives,
• 9:29
  and
• 9:29
  then
• 9:31
  they
• 9:31
  don't
• 9:31
  really
• 9:32
  understand
• 9:33
  what
• 9:33
  they're
• 9:33
  supposed
• 9:34
  to
• 9:34
  do
• 9:34
  with
• 9:34
  that.
• 9:35
  Some
• 9:35
  of
• 9:36
  them
• 9:36
  have
• 9:36
  been
• 9:36
  authored
• 9:37
  20
• 9:37
  years,
• 9:38
  and
• 9:39
  they're
• 9:39
  just
• 9:40
  outdated
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  really
• 9:41
  not
• 9:42
  relevant.
• 9:42
  I'm
• 9:42
  not
• 9:43
  saying
• 9:43
  that
• 9:43
  they
• 9:44
  don't
• 9:44
  have
• 9:44
  value
• 9:45
  within
• 9:45
  themselves,
• 9:46
  but
• 9:46
  it's
• 9:47
  really
• 9:47
  not
• 9:47
  aligned
• 9:49
  with
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  students
• 9:50
  that
• 9:50
  we
• 9:50
  serve
• 9:50
  today
• 9:51
  and
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  vision
• 9:53
  of
• 9:53
  the.
• 9:54
  In
• 9:54
  charge
• 9:54
  of
• 9:54
  the
• 9:55
  educational
• 9:55
  system
• 9:56
  overall.
• 9:56
  So
• 9:56
  I'd
• 9:56
  love
• 9:57
  to
• 9:57
  hear
• 9:57
  from
• 9:57
  you
• 9:57
  all
• 9:58
  around.
• 9:58
  Mission
• 9:59
  statements,
• 9:59
  vision
• 10:00
  statements,
• 10:01
  core
• 10:02
  principles.
• 10:02
  I
• 10:02
  mean,
• 10:03
  we.
• 10:03
  We
• 10:03
  have
• 10:03
  the
• 10:04
  nomenclature.
• 10:04
  Oh,
• 10:05
  it's.
• 10:05
  It
• 10:06
  sounds
• 10:06
  great,
• 10:07
  right?
• 10:08
  Strategic
• 10:08
  plans.
• 10:09
  It's
• 10:10
  wonderful.
• 10:11
  But
• 10:11
  those
• 10:12
  pieces
• 10:12
  really
• 10:12
  need
• 10:13
  to
• 10:13
  be
• 10:13
  activated,
• 10:14
  so
• 10:15
  they
• 10:15
  need
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  move
• 10:15
  from
• 10:16
  2D
• 10:16
  to
• 10:16
  4D
• 10:17
  live
• 10:18
  and
• 10:18
  in
• 10:18
  full
• 10:18
  effect.
• 10:19
  So
• 10:19
  I'm
• 10:20
  interested
• 10:20
  because
• 10:21
  honestly,
• 10:21
  Grant,
• 10:22
  when
• 10:22
  you.
• 10:22
  When
• 10:23
  you
• 10:23
  kind
• 10:23
  of
• 10:23
  prompted
• 10:24
  us
• 10:24
  around
• 10:24
  some
• 10:24
  reflection
• 10:25
  questions,
• 10:26
  that's
• 10:26
  the
• 10:26
  one
• 10:26
  that
• 10:26
  sat
• 10:27
  with
• 10:27
  me
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  most.
• 10:28
  I'm
• 10:28
  so
• 10:29
  glad
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  went
• 10:29
  right
• 10:30
  to,
• 10:30
  you
• 10:30
  know,
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  vision
• 10:31
  and
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  mission
• 10:32
  statements,
• 10:33
  Alicia,
• 10:34
  because
• 10:35
  in
• 10:35
  order
• 10:36
  to
• 10:36
  activate
• 10:36
  them,
• 10:37
  I
• 10:37
  feel
• 10:37
  like
• 10:37
  that's
• 10:38
  often
• 10:38
  the
• 10:38
  missing
• 10:39
  step
• 10:39
  that's
• 10:39
  a
• 10:39
  daily
• 10:40
  practice,
• 10:40
  that
• 10:41
  activation,
• 10:41
  it
• 10:41
  has
• 10:42
  to
• 10:42
  be.
• 10:42
  And
• 10:43
  what
• 10:43
  are
• 10:43
  the
• 10:44
  questions
• 10:44
  we
• 10:44
  ask
• 10:45
  ourselves
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  each
• 10:46
  other
• 10:46
  when
• 10:47
  we're
• 10:47
  doing
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  work
• 10:48
  that
• 10:48
  helps
• 10:48
  us
• 10:49
  stay
• 10:49
  connected
• 10:50
  to
• 10:50
  that
• 10:50
  North
• 10:50
  Star
• 10:51
  you
• 10:51
  mentioned,
• 10:51
  Grant.
• 10:52
  I
• 10:53
  wrote
• 10:53
  it
• 10:53
  down
• 10:53
  when
• 10:53
  Grant
• 10:54
  said,
• 10:55
  we
• 10:55
  have
• 10:56
  beautiful
• 10:56
  intention.
• 10:58
  You
• 10:59
  know,
• 10:59
  I,
• 10:59
  I,
• 10:59
  we
• 11:00
  do.
• 11:00
  And
• 11:00
  so
• 11:02
  even
• 11:02
  when
• 11:03
  Alicia
• 11:03
  said
• 11:05
  those,
• 11:05
  you
• 11:05
  know,
• 11:06
  bringing
• 11:06
  us
• 11:06
  to
• 11:06
  the
• 11:07
  mission
• 11:07
  and
• 11:08
  vision,
• 11:09
  it
• 11:09
  is
• 11:09
  plastered
• 11:10
  everywhere.
• 11:11
  It
• 11:11
  is
• 11:12
  part
• 11:12
  of,
• 11:13
  you
• 11:13
  know,
• 11:13
  there
• 11:13
  are
• 11:13
  districts
• 11:14
  that
• 11:14
  recite
• 11:15
  that,
• 11:16
  you
• 11:16
  know,
• 11:17
  at
• 11:17
  meetings,
• 11:18
  and
• 11:18
  then
• 11:20
  we
• 11:20
  go
• 11:20
  and
• 11:20
  do
• 11:21
  the
• 11:21
  work.
• 11:21
  And
• 11:23
  those
• 11:23
  that
• 11:23
  are
• 11:23
  doing
• 11:23
  the
• 11:24
  work
• 11:24
  say,
• 11:26
  okay,
• 11:26
  but
• 11:27
  do
• 11:27
  we
• 11:27
  value
• 11:28
  that?
• 11:31
  You
• 11:31
  say
• 11:31
  that,
• 11:32
  but
• 11:32
  then
• 11:33
  your
• 11:33
  actions
• 11:34
  are
• 11:34
  very
• 11:35
  different.
• 11:36
  And
• 11:37
  so
• 11:38
  in
• 11:38
  order
• 11:38
  to
• 11:39
  live
• 11:39
  into
• 11:40
  that
• 11:40
  space,
• 11:41
  it
• 11:41
  does
• 11:43
  cause
• 11:43
  us
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  drift.
• 11:45
  And
• 11:45
  so
• 11:45
  when
• 11:46
  you
• 11:46
  think
• 11:46
  about
• 11:46
  those
• 11:47
  new
• 11:47
  educators,
• 11:48
  Michael,
• 11:49
  that
• 11:49
  are
• 11:49
  then
• 11:50
  saying,
• 11:51
  this
• 11:51
  is
• 11:51
  who
• 11:52
  I
• 11:52
  want
• 11:52
  to
• 11:52
  be.
• 11:53
  This
• 11:53
  is
• 11:54
  what
• 11:54
  I
• 11:54
  know
• 11:56
  students
• 11:57
  deserve,
• 11:59
  but
• 11:59
  I'm
• 11:59
  afraid
• 12:01
  of
• 12:01
  this
• 12:01
  drift
• 12:02
  without
• 12:03
  using
• 12:03
  that
• 12:04
  word,
• 12:05
  I
• 12:05
  already
• 12:06
  see
• 12:07
  it.
• 12:08
  And
• 12:08
  so
• 12:09
  when
• 12:09
  we
• 12:09
  look
• 12:10
  at
• 12:10
  those
• 12:10
  daily
• 12:11
  practices
• 12:12
  contradicting
• 12:15
  what
• 12:15
  we
• 12:15
  consistently
• 12:16
  say
• 12:17
  we
• 12:17
  value,
• 12:20
  school
• 12:20
  districts
• 12:21
  scream
• 12:22
  at,
• 12:24
  I
• 12:24
  mean,
• 12:24
  everywhere
• 12:25
  they
• 12:25
  scream
• 12:26
  it.
• 12:26
  One
• 12:27
  of
• 12:27
  the
• 12:27
  questions
• 12:27
  I
• 12:28
  had
• 12:28
  was,
• 12:30
  what
• 12:30
  does
• 12:30
  the
• 12:30
  learning
• 12:31
  we
• 12:31
  love
• 12:33
  look
• 12:33
  like?
• 12:34
  And
• 12:34
  how
• 12:35
  do
• 12:35
  we
• 12:35
  make
• 12:36
  space
• 12:36
  for
• 12:36
  that
• 12:37
  to
• 12:37
  happen?
• 12:38
  That's
• 12:38
  an
• 12:38
  activating
• 12:39
  question.
• 12:40
  That
• 12:40
  question
• 12:41
  takes
• 12:41
  a
• 12:42
  mission
• 12:42
  statement
• 12:42
  off
• 12:43
  the
• 12:43
  paper.
• 12:44
  But
• 12:45
  how
• 12:45
  often
• 12:46
  are
• 12:47
  we
• 12:47
  having
• 12:47
  that
• 12:48
  conversation
• 12:49
  as
• 12:50
  practicing
• 12:50
  instructors,
• 12:51
  with
• 12:51
  each
• 12:51
  other,
• 12:52
  with
• 12:53
  our
• 12:53
  instructional
• 12:53
  leaders?
• 12:54
  How
• 12:54
  often
• 12:54
  are
• 12:54
  our
• 12:55
  instructional
• 12:55
  leaders
• 12:55
  coming
• 12:56
  to
• 12:56
  us
• 12:56
  with
• 12:56
  that
• 12:56
  question?
• 12:57
  Yeah,
• 12:58
  and
• 12:58
  that
• 12:58
  goes
• 12:58
  to,
• 12:59
  where
• 13:00
  does
• 13:00
  that
• 13:01
  come
• 13:01
  from?
• 13:02
  Where
• 13:02
  is
• 13:03
  that
• 13:03
  damage
• 13:05
  occurring?
• 13:06
  And
• 13:07
  so
• 13:07
  when
• 13:07
  we've
• 13:07
  had
• 13:08
  these
• 13:08
  conversations
• 13:09
  about
• 13:10
  coherent
• 13:12
  human
• 13:12
  systems,
• 13:14
  and
• 13:15
  what
• 13:15
  does
• 13:15
  it
• 13:16
  take
• 13:16
  to
• 13:16
  be
• 13:16
  able
• 13:17
  to
• 13:17
  lead
• 13:18
  within
• 13:18
  that,
• 13:19
  how
• 13:19
  do
• 13:19
  the
• 13:19
  leaders
• 13:21
  build
• 13:22
  these
• 13:22
  systems
• 13:23
  that
• 13:23
  allow
• 13:25
  teachers
• 13:25
  to
• 13:27
  provide
• 13:27
  these
• 13:28
  spaces
• 13:29
  so
• 13:29
  that
• 13:29
  the
• 13:30
  student
• 13:30
  experience
• 13:31
  is
• 13:32
  what
• 13:32
  they
• 13:33
  deserve?
• 13:35
  I
• 13:35
  think
• 13:37
  visions
• 13:38
  and
• 13:38
  mission
• 13:38
  statements
• 13:40
  are
• 13:41
  often
• 13:41
  a
• 13:41
  lie.
• 13:44
  First
• 13:45
  we
• 13:45
  write
• 13:45
  them.
• 13:46
  Hold
• 13:46
  on
• 13:47
  just
• 13:47
  a
• 13:47
  second,
• 13:47
  Alicia.
• 13:47
  And
• 13:48
  then
• 13:48
  you
• 13:48
  can.
• 13:49
  First
• 13:49
  we
• 13:49
  spend
• 13:50
  all
• 13:51
  sorts
• 13:51
  of
• 13:51
  time
• 13:53
  crafting
• 13:54
  something.
• 13:55
  I
• 13:56
  don't
• 13:56
  even
• 13:56
  encourage
• 13:56
  people
• 13:57
  to
• 13:57
  do
• 13:57
  that
• 13:57
  anymore.
• 13:58
  I
• 13:59
  use
• 13:59
  different
• 13:59
  words.
• 14:00
  But
• 14:00
  I
• 14:01
  mean,
• 14:01
  there's
• 14:01
  absolutely
• 14:02
  nothing
• 14:02
  wrong
• 14:02
  with
• 14:02
  a
• 14:02
  vision
• 14:03
  and
• 14:03
  mission,
• 14:03
  folks.
• 14:03
  I
• 14:03
  mean,
• 14:04
  if
• 14:04
  you're
• 14:04
  listening
• 14:05
  out
• 14:05
  there
• 14:05
  and
• 14:05
  you
• 14:05
  go,
• 14:05
  but
• 14:05
  I've
• 14:06
  got
• 14:06
  one.
• 14:06
  I
• 14:06
  mean,
• 14:07
  great.
• 14:07
  It's
• 14:08
  great
• 14:08
  to.
• 14:08
  You
• 14:08
  have
• 14:08
  one,
• 14:09
  right?
• 14:09
  It's
• 14:09
  great
• 14:09
  that
• 14:10
  you
• 14:10
  have
• 14:10
  one.
• 14:10
  But
• 14:11
  I've
• 14:11
  not
• 14:11
  seen
• 14:11
  a
• 14:12
  vision
• 14:12
  and
• 14:12
  mission
• 14:12
  statement
• 14:13
  yet
• 14:13
  that
• 14:13
  honestly
• 14:14
  says
• 14:15
  what
• 14:15
  we
• 14:15
  really
• 14:16
  care
• 14:16
  about
• 14:17
  is
• 14:17
  the
• 14:17
  end
• 14:18
  of
• 14:18
  the
• 14:18
  year
• 14:18
  proficiency
• 14:19
  exam.
• 14:20
  Because
• 14:20
  we
• 14:21
  have
• 14:21
  to.
• 14:22
  That's
• 14:22
  where
• 14:22
  the,
• 14:23
  the,
• 14:24
  the
• 14:24
  drift
• 14:24
  is
• 14:25
  caused.
• 14:26
  Absolutely.
• 14:26
  I
• 14:27
  mean,
• 14:27
  so
• 14:27
  let's
• 14:27
  just
• 14:28
  put
• 14:28
  it
• 14:28
  out
• 14:28
  there,
• 14:28
  right?
• 14:29
  What
• 14:29
  we,
• 14:29
  what
• 14:29
  whether
• 14:30
  we
• 14:30
  like
• 14:30
  it
• 14:30
  or
• 14:30
  not,
• 14:30
  this
• 14:31
  is
• 14:31
  what
• 14:31
  we
• 14:31
  value.
• 14:33
  Right?
• 14:33
  And
• 14:33
  we're
• 14:34
  going
• 14:34
  to
• 14:34
  push.
• 14:35
  We're
• 14:35
  going
• 14:35
  to
• 14:35
  push
• 14:35
  toward
• 14:36
  that.
• 14:36
  And
• 14:36
  again,
• 14:36
  folks,
• 14:37
  if
• 14:37
  you're
• 14:37
  listening,
• 14:37
  Grant
• 14:38
  Chandler
• 14:38
  does
• 14:38
  not
• 14:38
  believe
• 14:39
  that
• 14:39
  children
• 14:40
  shouldn't
• 14:40
  be
• 14:41
  proficient.
• 14:42
  Right.
• 14:42
  He
• 14:42
  should.
• 14:43
  He
• 14:43
  does
• 14:43
  not
• 14:43
  believe
• 14:43
  that
• 14:44
  at
• 14:44
  all.
• 14:44
  Right.
• 14:45
  He
• 14:45
  believes,
• 14:46
  however,
• 14:46
  that
• 14:47
  what
• 14:47
  we
• 14:47
  really
• 14:47
  need
• 14:47
  is
• 14:48
  bigger.
• 14:49
  You
• 14:49
  know,
• 14:49
  proficiency
• 14:50
  should
• 14:50
  be
• 14:51
  a
• 14:51
  given.
• 14:51
  We're
• 14:52
  a
• 14:52
  school.
• 14:52
  We
• 14:53
  should
• 14:53
  be
• 14:53
  teaching
• 14:54
  children
• 14:54
  how
• 14:54
  to
• 14:54
  read,
• 14:55
  how
• 14:55
  to
• 14:55
  write,
• 14:56
  how
• 14:56
  to
• 14:56
  do
• 14:56
  math,
• 14:56
  how
• 14:57
  to
• 14:57
  think,
• 14:58
  how
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  have
• 14:58
  those
• 14:58
  21st
• 14:59
  century
• 14:59
  skills.
• 14:59
  If
• 15:00
  we
• 15:00
  don't
• 15:00
  do
• 15:00
  that,
• 15:01
  I'm
• 15:01
  not
• 15:01
  sure
• 15:01
  you
• 15:01
  should
• 15:01
  open
• 15:02
  your
• 15:02
  doors.
• 15:02
  Right.
• 15:03
  We
• 15:03
  should
• 15:03
  have
• 15:04
  that
• 15:04
  level
• 15:04
  of
• 15:04
  expertise,
• 15:05
  but
• 15:05
  it's
• 15:06
  bigger
• 15:06
  than
• 15:07
  all
• 15:07
  of
• 15:07
  that.
• 15:08
  And
• 15:08
  our
• 15:09
  guests
• 15:09
  have
• 15:09
  told
• 15:10
  us
• 15:10
  that
• 15:11
  it
• 15:11
  is
• 15:11
  bigger.
• 15:12
  So
• 15:12
  we
• 15:13
  really
• 15:13
  need
• 15:13
  to
• 15:13
  think
• 15:14
  about,
• 15:15
  in
• 15:15
  my
• 15:15
  opinion,
• 15:16
  right.
• 15:17
  We
• 15:17
  just
• 15:17
  really
• 15:18
  need
• 15:18
  to
• 15:18
  think
• 15:18
  about
• 15:19
  what
• 15:20
  it
• 15:20
  is
• 15:20
  that
• 15:20
  we
• 15:21
  value.
• 15:23
  What
• 15:23
  it
• 15:23
  is
• 15:24
  that
• 15:24
  we
• 15:24
  value.
• 15:25
  Right.
• 15:25
  That
• 15:25
  North
• 15:26
  Star.
• 15:26
  Alicia,
• 15:28
  I
• 15:28
  think
• 15:28
  mission
• 15:29
  and
• 15:29
  vision
• 15:30
  statements
• 15:30
  conceptually
• 15:32
  are
• 15:33
  well
• 15:33
  intentioned.
• 15:34
  Absolutely.
• 15:34
  I
• 15:34
  do
• 15:35
  too.
• 15:35
  I
• 15:35
  do
• 15:35
  too.
• 15:36
  And
• 15:36
  I'm
• 15:36
  just
• 15:36
  echoing
• 15:37
  exactly
• 15:37
  what
• 15:38
  you
• 15:38
  shared,
• 15:38
  Brant,
• 15:39
  but
• 15:39
  to
• 15:39
  thine
• 15:40
  own
• 15:40
  selves
• 15:40
  be
• 15:41
  true.
• 15:41
  Right?
• 15:42
  So
• 15:43
  when
• 15:43
  we
• 15:44
  interrogate
• 15:45
  the
• 15:45
  space
• 15:46
  and
• 15:47
  realize
• 15:48
  that
• 15:48
  the
• 15:49
  mission
• 15:49
  statement
• 15:50
  is
• 15:50
  not
• 15:50
  emboldened
• 15:51
  in
• 15:52
  the
• 15:52
  actions
• 15:52
  that
• 15:53
  are
• 15:53
  going
• 15:53
  on
• 15:54
  actually
• 15:55
  in
• 15:55
  the
• 15:56
  learning
• 15:56
  space,
• 15:57
  then
• 15:57
  there
• 15:57
  is
• 15:57
  a
• 15:58
  major
• 15:58
  disconnect.
• 15:59
  And
• 15:59
  what
• 16:00
  we
• 16:00
  see
• 16:00
  are
• 16:00
  these
• 16:01
  schisms
• 16:02
  and
• 16:02
  these
• 16:02
  fragmentations
• 16:03
  recycled
• 16:05
  through
• 16:05
  the
• 16:06
  system.
• 16:06
  So
• 16:06
  we
• 16:06
  have
• 16:07
  new
• 16:07
  teachers
• 16:07
  coming
• 16:08
  in,
• 16:08
  right,
• 16:09
  that
• 16:10
  feel
• 16:11
  alone,
• 16:12
  Michael.
• 16:12
  And
• 16:13
  they
• 16:13
  don't
• 16:13
  get
• 16:15
  good
• 16:15
  coaching
• 16:16
  from
• 16:17
  instructional
• 16:17
  leaders.
• 16:18
  But
• 16:18
  we
• 16:18
  can't
• 16:19
  really
• 16:19
  blame
• 16:20
  the
• 16:20
  instructional
• 16:20
  leaders
• 16:21
  because
• 16:21
  the
• 16:21
  instructional
• 16:22
  leaders
• 16:22
  themselves
• 16:23
  have
• 16:23
  not
• 16:23
  been
• 16:23
  well
• 16:24
  coached
• 16:25
  and
• 16:25
  therefore
• 16:26
  becomes
• 16:27
  this
• 16:28
  recycling
• 16:30
  of
• 16:30
  poor
• 16:31
  practice.
• 16:32
  But
• 16:32
  it's
• 16:33
  not
• 16:34
  intentional.
• 16:35
  It
• 16:35
  just
• 16:35
  happens
• 16:36
  to
• 16:36
  be
• 16:37
  the
• 16:37
  residuals
• 16:39
  of
• 16:39
  the
• 16:40
  drift
• 16:40
  and
• 16:42
  fragmented
• 16:43
  established
• 16:44
  systems
• 16:44
  of
• 16:45
  education.
• 16:47
  And
• 16:47
  you
• 16:47
  just
• 16:48
  kind
• 16:48
  of
• 16:48
  see
• 16:48
  this
• 16:49
  cycle
• 16:51
  continuing
• 16:51
  to
• 16:51
  happen.
• 16:52
  And
• 16:53
  then
• 16:54
  those
• 16:54
  teachers
• 16:55
  that
• 16:55
  come
• 16:55
  in
• 16:56
  start
• 16:56
  to
• 16:56
  move
• 16:56
  up,
• 16:57
  right?
• 16:57
  They
• 16:57
  start
• 16:58
  to
• 16:58
  get
• 16:58
  promoted
• 16:59
  to
• 17:00
  instructional
• 17:00
  leader.
• 17:01
  They
• 17:01
  start
• 17:01
  to
• 17:01
  get
• 17:01
  promoted
• 17:02
  to
• 17:04
  IEP
• 17:05
  specialists,
• 17:05
  they
• 17:06
  start
• 17:06
  to
• 17:06
  get
• 17:06
  promoted
• 17:07
  to
• 17:09
  ap
• 17:10
  and
• 17:10
  then
• 17:10
  the
• 17:10
  principal.
• 17:11
  And
• 17:11
  all
• 17:12
  of
• 17:12
  this,
• 17:13
  right.
• 17:13
  I
• 17:14
  think
• 17:14
  about
• 17:14
  tactical
• 17:15
  leadership,
• 17:15
  right.
• 17:16
  All
• 17:16
  of
• 17:16
  this
• 17:17
  is
• 17:17
  really
• 17:18
  not
• 17:18
  aligned
• 17:20
  with
• 17:21
  what
• 17:21
  the
• 17:21
  value
• 17:21
  is
• 17:22
  because
• 17:22
  no
• 17:22
  one
• 17:22
  even
• 17:23
  knows
• 17:24
  what
• 17:24
  the
• 17:24
  target
• 17:25
  is.
• 17:25
  What's
• 17:25
  the
• 17:26
  bullseye,
• 17:26
  what
• 17:26
  we're
• 17:27
  intending,
• 17:27
  because
• 17:28
  it
• 17:28
  has
• 17:28
  been
• 17:29
  recycled
• 17:30
  through
• 17:31
  a
• 17:31
  system
• 17:31
  of
• 17:32
  people
• 17:32
  just
• 17:32
  not
• 17:33
  knowing.
• 17:33
  There's
• 17:34
  the
• 17:34
  drift.
• 17:35
  There's
• 17:36
  the
• 17:36
  drift.
• 17:36
  There's
• 17:37
  the
• 17:37
  drift.
• 17:37
  Elisa,
• 17:38
  you
• 17:38
  said
• 17:38
  something
• 17:39
  and
• 17:39
  then
• 17:40
  that
• 17:41
  I
• 17:41
  loved
• 17:42
  in
• 17:42
  one
• 17:42
  of
• 17:42
  your
• 17:43
  first
• 17:43
  comments,
• 17:43
  and
• 17:43
  you
• 17:44
  said
• 17:44
  it
• 17:44
  was,
• 17:45
  we
• 17:45
  drift.
• 17:46
  We
• 17:46
  often
• 17:46
  drift.
• 17:48
  You
• 17:48
  know,
• 17:49
  it
• 17:49
  moves
• 17:49
  so
• 17:50
  quickly,
• 17:50
  right?
• 17:51
  I
• 17:51
  mean,
• 17:51
  everything
• 17:52
  moves
• 17:52
  so
• 17:52
  quickly,
• 17:53
  and
• 17:53
  yet
• 17:54
  it
• 17:55
  changes
• 17:56
  so
• 17:57
  slowly.
• 17:57
  It
• 17:58
  moves
• 17:58
  so
• 17:59
  quickly.
• 17:59
  Right.
• 18:00
  I
• 18:00
  mean,
• 18:00
  I
• 18:01
  was
• 18:01
  having
• 18:01
  a
• 18:01
  conversation
• 18:02
  with
• 18:02
  somebody
• 18:02
  yesterday,
• 18:02
  and
• 18:03
  she
• 18:03
  was
• 18:03
  talking
• 18:03
  about
• 18:04
  all
• 18:04
  of
• 18:04
  these
• 18:04
  conversations
• 18:05
  she's
• 18:05
  having
• 18:05
  with
• 18:05
  principals
• 18:06
  who
• 18:06
  are
• 18:06
  like,
• 18:07
  you
• 18:07
  know,
• 18:08
  the
• 18:08
  day,
• 18:09
  the
• 18:09
  week,
• 18:09
  the
• 18:09
  month,
• 18:09
  the
• 18:10
  year
• 18:10
  is
• 18:10
  flies.
• 18:11
  And
• 18:12
  yet
• 18:13
  education
• 18:14
  is
• 18:14
  notoriously
• 18:15
  famous
• 18:16
  for
• 18:16
  how
• 18:16
  slowly
• 18:19
  change
• 18:20
  occurs.
• 18:21
  Because
• 18:22
  we're
• 18:22
  stuck.
• 18:23
  Because
• 18:23
  we're
• 18:23
  stuck.
• 18:24
  Right?
• 18:24
  We're
• 18:24
  stuck.
• 18:25
  We're
• 18:25
  stuck
• 18:25
  in
• 18:26
  trying
• 18:26
  to
• 18:26
  figure
• 18:26
  out
• 18:27
  what
• 18:27
  we
• 18:27
  value,
• 18:29
  what
• 18:29
  we
• 18:29
  really
• 18:29
  value.
• 18:30
  Like,
• 18:30
  pull
• 18:31
  out
• 18:31
  all
• 18:31
  the
• 18:31
  layers
• 18:32
  and
• 18:32
  let's
• 18:32
  really
• 18:33
  think
• 18:33
  about
• 18:33
  what
• 18:33
  it
• 18:33
  is
• 18:33
  we
• 18:34
  really
• 18:34
  value.
• 18:35
  Not
• 18:36
  because
• 18:36
  someone
• 18:36
  told
• 18:37
  us
• 18:37
  to,
• 18:38
  but
• 18:38
  because
• 18:39
  it's
• 18:39
  what
• 18:39
  we
• 18:39
  really,
• 18:40
  really
• 18:40
  want
• 18:40
  for
• 18:41
  children
• 18:42
  and
• 18:42
  what
• 18:43
  they
• 18:43
  need
• 18:43
  in
• 18:43
  the
• 18:44
  21st
• 18:44
  century.
• 18:45
  I
• 18:45
  don't
• 18:45
  know
• 18:46
  how
• 18:46
  a
• 18:46
  child
• 18:46
  will
• 18:47
  ever
• 18:48
  survive
• 18:49
  as
• 18:49
  an
• 18:49
  adult
• 18:50
  in
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  21st
• 18:50
  century
• 18:51
  if
• 18:51
  they
• 18:52
  can't
• 18:52
  read.
• 18:53
  I
• 18:53
  just
• 18:54
  want
• 18:54
  to
• 18:54
  say
• 18:54
  that
• 18:54
  at
• 18:54
  this
• 18:55
  point
• 18:55
  in
• 18:55
  my
• 18:55
  career,
• 18:56
  after
• 18:56
  37
• 18:57
  years,
• 18:58
  I
• 18:58
  feel
• 18:58
  like
• 18:58
  there
• 18:59
  was
• 18:59
  some
• 18:59
  real
• 19:00
  intention
• 19:01
  that
• 19:01
  created
• 19:02
  drift.
• 19:02
  It
• 19:02
  didn't
• 19:03
  happen
• 19:03
  accidentally.
• 19:05
  My
• 19:05
  experience
• 19:05
  was
• 19:06
  we
• 19:06
  were
• 19:06
  actively
• 19:07
  and
• 19:07
  deliberately
• 19:08
  talked
• 19:08
  out
• 19:08
  of
• 19:09
  what
• 19:09
  we
• 19:09
  knew
• 19:10
  to
• 19:10
  be
• 19:10
  true.
• 19:12
  And
• 19:12
  we
• 19:13
  were
• 19:13
  asked,
• 19:14
  we
• 19:14
  were
• 19:14
  directed
• 19:15
  to
• 19:16
  accept
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  endorsement
• 19:18
  of
• 19:18
  leadership,
• 19:19
  of
• 19:19
  standardized
• 19:20
  assessment
• 19:21
  being
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  only
• 19:22
  legitimate
• 19:22
  way
• 19:24
  to
• 19:24
  value
• 19:25
  learning.
• 19:25
  That
• 19:25
  was
• 19:25
  happening
• 19:26
  in
• 19:26
  our
• 19:26
  buildings.
• 19:27
  And
• 19:27
  that
• 19:28
  wasn't
• 19:28
  accidental.
• 19:30
  I'm
• 19:30
  going
• 19:30
  to
• 19:30
  let
• 19:30
  you
• 19:30
  know.
• 19:31
  We
• 19:31
  oftentimes
• 19:32
  feel
• 19:32
  like
• 19:32
  pariahs
• 19:33
  when
• 19:33
  we're
• 19:33
  doing
• 19:33
  something
• 19:34
  new,
• 19:34
  innovative,
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  creative
• 19:36
  to
• 19:36
  truly
• 19:36
  meet
• 19:37
  the
• 19:37
  needs
• 19:37
  of
• 19:38
  the
• 19:38
  students
• 19:38
  that
• 19:39
  are
• 19:39
  before
• 19:39
  us.
• 19:40
  Thank
• 19:40
  you.
• 19:40
  So
• 19:40
  we
• 19:41
  are
• 19:41
  marginalized
• 19:42
  in
• 19:42
  the
• 19:43
  system
• 19:43
  that
• 19:43
  we
• 19:44
  signed
• 19:44
  on
• 19:44
  the
• 19:44
  line,
• 19:45
  dotted
• 19:45
  line
• 19:46
  for.
• 19:46
  To
• 19:47
  impact
• 19:47
  and
• 19:47
  empower
• 19:48
  students
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  achieve
• 19:50
  their
• 19:50
  full
• 19:50
  potential.
• 19:51
  That's
• 19:51
  right.
• 19:51
  So
• 19:52
  then,
• 19:52
  if
• 19:52
  I'm
• 19:53
  a
• 19:53
  pariah
• 19:53
  and
• 19:54
  I
• 19:54
  sit
• 19:54
  on
• 19:54
  the
• 19:54
  margin.
• 19:55
  Right.
• 19:56
  How
• 19:56
  courageous
• 19:57
  am
• 19:58
  I
• 19:58
  going
• 19:58
  to
• 19:58
  be
• 19:58
  to
• 19:59
  really
• 19:59
  stand
• 19:59
  up
• 20:00
  and
• 20:00
  advocate.
• 20:02
  For.
• 20:03
  What
• 20:03
  we
• 20:03
  know
• 20:04
  as
• 20:04
  educators
• 20:05
  to
• 20:05
  be
• 20:05
  the
• 20:06
  right
• 20:06
  thing
• 20:06
  for
• 20:06
  the
• 20:06
  students?
• 20:09
  Because
• 20:09
  we
• 20:09
  fear
• 20:10
  retribution
• 20:11
  and
• 20:12
  further
• 20:12
  marginalization,.
• 20:14
  Because
• 20:14
  our
• 20:14
  colleagues
• 20:15
  are
• 20:16
  just
• 20:17
  that.
• 20:17
  That
• 20:18
  level
• 20:18
  of
• 20:18
  comfort.
• 20:20
  I
• 20:20
  think
• 20:20
  there's
• 20:21
  such
• 20:22
  comfort
• 20:23
  in
• 20:25
  these
• 20:26
  systems
• 20:27
  that
• 20:28
  are
• 20:29
  already
• 20:30
  built.
• 20:31
  Because
• 20:33
  changing
• 20:33
  the
• 20:34
  educational
• 20:34
  landscape
• 20:35
  is
• 20:36
  really
• 20:36
  hard
• 20:37
  work.
• 20:38
  It's
• 20:39
  really
• 20:39
  hard.
• 20:40
  It's
• 20:41
  not
• 20:41
  for
• 20:41
  the
• 20:41
  faint
• 20:41
  of
• 20:41
  heart.
• 20:42
  No.
• 20:42
  And
• 20:42
  it
• 20:43
  creates
• 20:43
  discomfort,
• 20:45
  you
• 20:45
  know,
• 20:46
  and
• 20:46
  challenging
• 20:47
  this
• 20:47
  status
• 20:47
  quo
• 20:48
  around.
• 20:49
  Well,
• 20:50
  we've
• 20:50
  always
• 20:51
  done
• 20:51
  this.
• 20:52
  This
• 20:52
  is
• 20:53
  the
• 20:53
  way
• 20:53
  it
• 20:54
  works
• 20:54
  because
• 20:55
  it's
• 20:55
  the
• 20:55
  way
• 20:56
  it's
• 20:56
  been.
• 20:57
  Okay.
• 20:57
  But
• 20:59
  it's
• 20:59
  not
• 20:59
  working.
• 21:01
  The
• 21:01
  students
• 21:02
  are
• 21:02
  telling
• 21:03
  us
• 21:04
  it's
• 21:05
  not
• 21:05
  working.
• 21:06
  We're
• 21:07
  just
• 21:07
  choosing
• 21:07
  to
• 21:08
  not
• 21:08
  listen
• 21:09
  to
• 21:09
  them
• 21:10
  because
• 21:11
  listening
• 21:11
  to
• 21:12
  them
• 21:12
  means
• 21:13
  we
• 21:13
  might
• 21:14
  have
• 21:14
  to
• 21:16
  change
• 21:16
  some
• 21:17
  things.
• 21:18
  And
• 21:18
  change
• 21:18
  is
• 21:19
  hard.
• 21:20
  And
• 21:20
  it's
• 21:20
  so
• 21:21
  much
• 21:21
  easier
• 21:21
  to
• 21:22
  care
• 21:22
  about
• 21:22
  what
• 21:23
  we
• 21:23
  measure
• 21:24
  than
• 21:25
  it
• 21:25
  is
• 21:25
  to
• 21:25
  measure
• 21:25
  what
• 21:26
  we
• 21:26
  care
• 21:26
  about.
• 21:27
  So
• 21:28
  we
• 21:28
  narrow
• 21:28
  the
• 21:29
  scope
• 21:29
  of
• 21:29
  things
• 21:30
  because
• 21:30
  it's
• 21:30
  easily
• 21:31
  measurable.
• 21:31
  And
• 21:31
  it
• 21:32
  makes
• 21:32
  it
• 21:32
  easier
• 21:33
  for
• 21:33
  bureaucrats
• 21:34
  who've
• 21:35
  gained
• 21:35
  position
• 21:36
  and
• 21:36
  status
• 21:37
  to
• 21:37
  say,
• 21:38
  hey,
• 21:38
  I've
• 21:38
  created
• 21:39
  improvement.
• 21:41
  Improvement
• 21:42
  takes
• 21:42
  intense
• 21:43
  commitment
• 21:44
  and
• 21:44
  responsiveness
• 21:45
  to
• 21:45
  those
• 21:46
  we
• 21:46
  serve.
• 21:47
  And
• 21:47
  it
• 21:47
  doesn't
• 21:48
  lend
• 21:48
  itself
• 21:48
  to
• 21:49
  sound
• 21:49
  bites
• 21:50
  and
• 21:50
  quickly
• 21:51
  demonstrable
• 21:52
  initiatives
• 21:54
  that
• 21:54
  you
• 21:54
  can
• 21:55
  put
• 21:55
  in
• 21:55
  a
• 21:56
  newspaper
• 21:56
  article.
• 21:57
  It's
• 21:58
  much
• 21:58
  more
• 21:58
  complex
• 21:59
  than
• 21:59
  that,
• 21:59
  and
• 21:59
  appropriately
• 22:00
  so.
• 22:01
  Too
• 22:01
  often
• 22:01
  it
• 22:02
  feels
• 22:02
  like
• 22:03
  if
• 22:04
  I
• 22:04
  were
• 22:04
  in
• 22:04
  a
• 22:04
  restaurant
• 22:05
  and
• 22:06
  the
• 22:06
  server
• 22:06
  handed
• 22:06
  me
• 22:07
  a
• 22:07
  menu
• 22:07
  and
• 22:08
  said,
• 22:08
  here
• 22:09
  is
• 22:09
  what
• 22:09
  we
• 22:09
  offer.
• 22:10
  Here
• 22:11
  are
• 22:11
  the
• 22:11
  meals,
• 22:12
  that
• 22:13
  I
• 22:13
  then
• 22:13
  took
• 22:13
  the
• 22:14
  menu
• 22:14
  and
• 22:14
  started
• 22:14
  to
• 22:15
  try
• 22:15
  to
• 22:15
  eat
• 22:15
  it.
• 22:16
  The
• 22:16
  assessment
• 22:17
  isn't
• 22:17
  the
• 22:18
  learning,
• 22:18
  it
• 22:19
  represents
• 22:19
  the
• 22:20
  learning.
• 22:20
  And
• 22:20
  it's
• 22:21
  our
• 22:21
  job
• 22:22
  to
• 22:23
  help
• 22:23
  our
• 22:23
  students
• 22:24
  engage
• 22:24
  and
• 22:25
  understand
• 22:25
  what
• 22:26
  that
• 22:26
  learning
• 22:26
  truly
• 22:27
  is
• 22:27
  and
• 22:28
  to
• 22:28
  lift
• 22:28
  that
• 22:29
  load
• 22:29
  and
• 22:30
  take
• 22:30
  ownership
• 22:31
  of
• 22:31
  it.
• 22:32
  That's
• 22:32
  our
• 22:32
  job
• 22:33
  not
• 22:33
  to
• 22:34
  tell
• 22:34
  them,
• 22:34
  here's
• 22:35
  how
• 22:35
  you
• 22:35
  use
• 22:35
  this
• 22:35
  chart.
• 22:36
  And
• 22:36
  this
• 22:36
  chart
• 22:37
  will
• 22:37
  lead
• 22:37
  you
• 22:37
  to
• 22:37
  proficiency.
• 22:38
  That's
• 22:38
  nonsense.
• 22:40
  And
• 22:41
  that's
• 22:41
  what
• 22:41
  I
• 22:41
  feel
• 22:42
  creates
• 22:42
  that
• 22:42
  drift
• 22:43
  at
• 22:43
  a
• 22:44
  student
• 22:44
  level
• 22:45
  in
• 22:45
  a
• 22:45
  classroom
• 22:46
  where
• 22:47
  kids
• 22:47
  want
• 22:48
  to
• 22:49
  learn.
• 22:49
  They
• 22:49
  want
• 22:50
  to
• 22:50
  carry
• 22:50
  that
• 22:50
  load.
• 22:52
  Yeah.
• 22:52
  They
• 22:52
  want
• 22:53
  to
• 22:53
  be
• 22:53
  heard
• 22:53
  and
• 22:54
  not
• 22:54
  heard.
• 22:55
  Ed.
• 22:55
  Yes.
• 22:57
  So
• 22:57
  I
• 22:57
  want
• 22:57
  to
• 22:57
  hearken
• 22:58
  back
• 22:58
  to
• 22:58
  Michael,
• 22:59
  and
• 22:59
  I
• 22:59
  heard
• 22:59
  you
• 22:59
  loud
• 23:00
  and
• 23:00
  clear,
• 23:00
  Kathy,
• 23:01
  because
• 23:01
  actually
• 23:02
  that's
• 23:02
  what
• 23:02
  I
• 23:02
  was
• 23:03
  thinking
• 23:04
  about
• 23:04
  and
• 23:04
  processing
• 23:05
  and
• 23:05
  reflecting
• 23:05
  on
• 23:06
  Michael.
• 23:07
  You
• 23:07
  talked
• 23:07
  about
• 23:07
  improvements,
• 23:09
  but
• 23:09
  through
• 23:09
  an
• 23:09
  equity
• 23:10
  lens
• 23:11
  of
• 23:11
  education,
• 23:12
  are
• 23:12
  we
• 23:12
  improving
• 23:13
  for
• 23:13
  all,
• 23:14
  for
• 23:14
  all
• 23:15
  scholars?
• 23:16
  So
• 23:17
  that
• 23:17
  is
• 23:19
  what
• 23:19
  I
• 23:19
  start
• 23:20
  to
• 23:20
  see.
• 23:21
  Right.
• 23:21
  Just
• 23:21
  because
• 23:22
  you're
• 23:22
  a
• 23:22
  blue
• 23:22
  ribbon
• 23:23
  school.
• 23:24
  All
• 23:24
  right.
• 23:24
  And
• 23:24
  you
• 23:25
  have
• 23:25
  achieved
• 23:26
  the
• 23:26
  percentile
• 23:27
  of
• 23:27
  what
• 23:27
  that
• 23:28
  distinction
• 23:28
  means,
• 23:30
  did
• 23:31
  you
• 23:31
  actually
• 23:32
  achieve
• 23:32
  that
• 23:32
  for
• 23:32
  all
• 23:33
  students
• 23:33
  that
• 23:33
  are
• 23:33
  sitting
• 23:34
  in
• 23:34
  your
• 23:34
  seats?
• 23:36
  And
• 23:36
  these
• 23:37
  are
• 23:37
  questions.
• 23:37
  These
• 23:37
  are
• 23:38
  those
• 23:38
  hard
• 23:38
  questions,
• 23:39
  those
• 23:39
  uncomfortable
• 23:40
  questions,
• 23:42
  and
• 23:42
  that
• 23:42
  interrogation
• 23:43
  that
• 23:43
  we
• 23:44
  must
• 23:44
  face.
• 23:46
  This
• 23:46
  work
• 23:46
  is
• 23:47
  not
• 23:48
  for
• 23:48
  the
• 23:48
  faint
• 23:48
  of
• 23:48
  heart.
• 23:49
  No.
• 23:50
  So,
• 23:51
  but
• 23:51
  if
• 23:51
  we
• 23:52
  are
• 23:52
  in
• 23:52
  the.
• 23:53
  The
• 23:54
  teaching
• 23:55
  and
• 23:55
  learning
• 23:55
  process,
• 23:56
  this
• 23:57
  is.
• 23:57
  This
• 23:57
  is
• 23:57
  our
• 23:57
  business.
• 23:58
  And
• 23:58
  us,
• 23:58
  our
• 23:59
  scholars,
• 23:59
  are
• 23:59
  our
• 24:00
  consumers.
• 24:01
  What
• 24:01
  is
• 24:02
  satisfactory
• 24:03
  and
• 24:03
  exceptional
• 24:04
  service
• 24:04
  and
• 24:04
  product?
• 24:05
  What
• 24:06
  does
• 24:06
  it
• 24:06
  look
• 24:06
  like?
• 24:07
  What
• 24:07
  does
• 24:07
  it
• 24:07
  look,
• 24:08
  sound
• 24:08
  and
• 24:08
  feel
• 24:08
  like?
• 24:09
  What
• 24:09
  is
• 24:09
  it
• 24:10
  to
• 24:10
  be
• 24:10
  H
• 24:10
  E
• 24:11
  A
• 24:11
  R
• 24:12
  D
• 24:13
  rather
• 24:13
  than
• 24:14
  H
• 24:14
  E
• 24:14
  R
• 24:15
  D?
• 24:16
  That's
• 24:16
  the
• 24:17
  real
• 24:17
  question.
• 24:18
  Yeah.
• 24:18
  And
• 24:18
  the
• 24:18
  conversation
• 24:19
  needs
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  be,
• 24:20
  you
• 24:20
  know,
• 24:22
  for
• 24:22
  those
• 24:22
  communities
• 24:23
  and
• 24:23
  their
• 24:24
  schools
• 24:24
  that
• 24:24
  are
• 24:25
  traditionally
• 24:25
  under
• 24:25
  resourced
• 24:26
  and
• 24:26
  underserved,
• 24:27
  you
• 24:28
  and
• 24:28
  I
• 24:28
  know
• 24:29
  that
• 24:29
  there
• 24:29
  are
• 24:30
  classrooms
• 24:31
  where
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  learning
• 24:32
  is
• 24:32
  dynamic
• 24:33
  and
• 24:33
  dynamite.
• 24:34
  It
• 24:35
  is
• 24:35
  incredible.
• 24:36
  And
• 24:36
  all
• 24:37
  those
• 24:37
  scholars
• 24:38
  are
• 24:38
  learning
• 24:38
  and
• 24:39
  stepping
• 24:39
  up
• 24:39
  and
• 24:39
  they're
• 24:40
  carrying
• 24:40
  that
• 24:40
  load
• 24:41
  and
• 24:41
  they're
• 24:41
  intoxicated
• 24:42
  by
• 24:43
  that
• 24:43
  Learning
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  real
• 24:45
  conversation
• 24:45
  needs
• 24:46
  to
• 24:46
  be,
• 24:46
  how
• 24:46
  did
• 24:47
  that?
• 24:47
  And
• 24:47
  how
• 24:48
  does
• 24:48
  that
• 24:48
  happen?
• 24:49
  And
• 24:49
  how
• 24:49
  can
• 24:50
  I
• 24:50
  learn
• 24:51
  to
• 24:51
  begin
• 24:51
  to
• 24:51
  put
• 24:52
  those
• 24:52
  pieces
• 24:52
  together
• 24:52
  for
• 24:53
  my
• 24:53
  kids,
• 24:53
  who
• 24:54
  I
• 24:54
  serve,
• 24:54
  where
• 24:54
  I
• 24:55
  work?
• 24:55
  That's
• 24:55
  the
• 24:56
  conversation.
• 24:57
  It's
• 24:57
  not
• 24:57
  about
• 24:57
  do
• 24:58
  our
• 24:59
  scores
• 24:59
  in
• 25:00
  this
• 25:00
  particular
• 25:00
  building
• 25:01
  move.
• 25:02
  That's
• 25:02
  a
• 25:02
  narrow,
• 25:03
  tiny
• 25:03
  conversation
• 25:04
  that
• 25:04
  produces
• 25:05
  very,
• 25:05
  very
• 25:06
  little.
• 25:06
  So
• 25:07
  it
• 25:07
  depends
• 25:07
  on
• 25:07
  what
• 25:07
  your
• 25:07
  North
• 25:08
  Star
• 25:08
  is.
• 25:09
  It
• 25:09
  depends
• 25:10
  on
• 25:10
  what
• 25:10
  your
• 25:10
  North
• 25:11
  Star
• 25:11
  is
• 25:12
  and
• 25:12
  what
• 25:12
  you're
• 25:13
  willing
• 25:13
  to
• 25:13
  do
• 25:14
  and
• 25:15
  not
• 25:15
  do
• 25:16
  to
• 25:16
  get
• 25:16
  there.
• 25:17
  Right.
• 25:18
  It's
• 25:18
  really.
• 25:18
  I
• 25:19
  mean,
• 25:19
  it's
• 25:19
  a
• 25:20
  very
• 25:20
  difficult
• 25:21
  answer,
• 25:21
  but
• 25:22
  it's
• 25:22
  a
• 25:22
  simple
• 25:22
  question.
• 25:23
  What
• 25:24
  do
• 25:24
  you
• 25:24
  value?
• 25:25
  What
• 25:25
  are
• 25:25
  you
• 25:25
  willing
• 25:26
  to
• 25:26
  do
• 25:26
  to
• 25:26
  make
• 25:26
  it
• 25:26
  happen?
• 25:27
  And
• 25:28
  can
• 25:28
  we
• 25:28
  be
• 25:29
  honest,
• 25:30
  right?
• 25:30
  Can
• 25:31
  we
• 25:31
  be
• 25:31
  honest
• 25:32
  as
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  school,
• 25:33
  as
• 25:33
  a
• 25:33
  district,
• 25:35
  with
• 25:35
  what
• 25:35
  we
• 25:35
  really
• 25:36
  value
• 25:36
  and
• 25:36
  what
• 25:36
  we
• 25:37
  really
• 25:37
  don't?
• 25:38
  Come
• 25:39
  on,
• 25:39
  just
• 25:39
  put
• 25:39
  it
• 25:39
  out
• 25:39
  there,
• 25:41
  right?
• 25:41
  Just
• 25:42
  put
• 25:42
  it
• 25:42
  out
• 25:42
  there.
• 25:43
  I
• 25:43
  remember.
• 25:43
  I
• 25:43
  know
• 25:44
  you're
• 25:44
  worried
• 25:44
  that
• 25:44
  parents
• 25:45
  will
• 25:45
  choose
• 25:45
  something
• 25:46
  else,
• 25:46
  but
• 25:47
  put
• 25:47
  it
• 25:47
  out
• 25:47
  there.
• 25:48
  I
• 25:48
  just
• 25:48
  remember
• 25:48
  the
• 25:49
  conversations,
• 25:49
  Grant,
• 25:50
  that
• 25:50
  we've.
• 25:51
  I
• 25:51
  was
• 25:51
  thinking
• 25:51
  about,
• 25:51
  we've
• 25:52
  had,
• 25:52
  you
• 25:53
  know,
• 25:53
  with.
• 25:53
  With
• 25:54
  superintendents,
• 25:55
  you
• 25:56
  know,
• 25:56
  with
• 25:56
  district
• 25:56
  leaders,
• 25:57
  with
• 25:57
  school
• 25:57
  boards
• 25:59
  to
• 25:59
  say,
• 25:59
  okay,
• 26:00
  here's.
• 26:01
  Here's
• 26:01
  your
• 26:01
  mission,
• 26:02
  where
• 26:02
  it's.
• 26:02
  I
• 26:02
  mean,
• 26:03
  they
• 26:03
  use
• 26:03
  this
• 26:03
  all
• 26:04
  word.
• 26:06
  All
• 26:06
  students.
• 26:06
  All
• 26:07
  students.
• 26:08
  Just
• 26:08
  be
• 26:08
  honest.
• 26:10
  Honest
• 26:10
  with
• 26:11
  your
• 26:12
  community
• 26:13
  and
• 26:13
  say,
• 26:15
  you
• 26:15
  know,
• 26:16
  we're
• 26:16
  just.
• 26:16
  We're
• 26:17
  really
• 26:17
  about
• 26:17
  certain
• 26:18
  students.
• 26:19
  Just
• 26:20
  say
• 26:20
  it,
• 26:20
  because
• 26:21
  that's
• 26:21
  what
• 26:21
  you're.
• 26:22
  Doing,
• 26:23
  and
• 26:23
  put
• 26:23
  that
• 26:23
  in
• 26:23
  your
• 26:24
  value
• 26:24
  statement.
• 26:24
  Just.
• 26:24
  Just
• 26:25
  say
• 26:25
  it
• 26:25
  because
• 26:26
  that's
• 26:26
  what's
• 26:27
  happening.
• 26:27
  And
• 26:29
  be
• 26:29
  honest.
• 26:30
  So
• 26:30
  when
• 26:30
  you're
• 26:30
  creating
• 26:31
  these
• 26:32
  mission
• 26:32
  statements,
• 26:33
  these
• 26:34
  your
• 26:34
  value,
• 26:34
  your
• 26:35
  core
• 26:35
  values,
• 26:36
  and
• 26:36
  you're
• 26:36
  spending
• 26:37
  this
• 26:37
  money
• 26:37
  to
• 26:38
  get
• 26:38
  all
• 26:38
  of
• 26:38
  these
• 26:39
  beautiful
• 26:39
  banners
• 26:40
  and
• 26:40
  hanging
• 26:40
  everything
• 26:41
  everywhere.
• 26:42
  Just
• 26:43
  be
• 26:43
  honest
• 26:44
  and
• 26:45
  let
• 26:45
  parents
• 26:45
  choose
• 26:46
  where.
• 26:47
  Where
• 26:47
  what
• 26:48
  makes
• 26:48
  sense
• 26:48
  for.
• 26:49
  For
• 26:49
  their
• 26:50
  child,
• 26:50
  for
• 26:50
  their
• 26:51
  children,
• 26:52
  based
• 26:53
  on
• 26:53
  honesty.
• 26:55
  Are
• 26:55
  we
• 26:55
  a
• 26:55
  school
• 26:56
  that
• 26:56
  prefers
• 26:57
  to
• 26:57
  serve
• 26:57
  students
• 26:57
  who
• 26:58
  are
• 26:58
  all
• 26:58
  ready
• 26:59
  to
• 26:59
  be
• 26:59
  served?
• 27:00
  Just
• 27:00
  say
• 27:00
  it.
• 27:01
  We
• 27:01
  are
• 27:01
  just.
• 27:03
  I
• 27:03
  remember
• 27:03
  a
• 27:04
  conversation
• 27:04
  I
• 27:04
  had
• 27:04
  with
• 27:05
  a
• 27:05
  board
• 27:05
  once,
• 27:05
  and
• 27:05
  I
• 27:06
  had
• 27:06
  pictures,
• 27:06
  right,
• 27:07
  of
• 27:07
  their
• 27:07
  students,
• 27:08
  and
• 27:08
  I
• 27:08
  laid
• 27:09
  them
• 27:09
  on
• 27:09
  a
• 27:09
  table
• 27:09
  and
• 27:09
  I
• 27:10
  put
• 27:10
  a
• 27:10
  trash
• 27:10
  can
• 27:11
  next
• 27:11
  to
• 27:11
  it
• 27:12
  and
• 27:12
  said,
• 27:13
  just
• 27:14
  be
• 27:15
  honest.
• 27:16
  Get
• 27:17
  rid
• 27:17
  of
• 27:17
  the
• 27:17
  ones.
• 27:17
  You
• 27:17
  don't
• 27:18
  roll
• 27:18
  them
• 27:19
  away.
• 27:20
  You're
• 27:20
  gonna
• 27:20
  throw
• 27:20
  them
• 27:21
  away
• 27:21
  anyway,
• 27:22
  so.
• 27:22
  Throw
• 27:22
  them
• 27:22
  away
• 27:22
  now.
• 27:23
  Just
• 27:23
  do
• 27:23
  it.
• 27:24
  And
• 27:24
  they
• 27:24
  were
• 27:24
  like,
• 27:24
  that's
• 27:25
  unfair.
• 27:26
  You
• 27:26
  can't.
• 27:27
  But
• 27:28
  it's
• 27:28
  what
• 27:28
  you're
• 27:28
  doing
• 27:28
  in
• 27:29
  practice.
• 27:29
  So
• 27:30
  it
• 27:30
  goes
• 27:30
  back
• 27:30
  to,
• 27:31
  okay,
• 27:32
  this
• 27:32
  is
• 27:32
  what
• 27:32
  we
• 27:32
  say
• 27:33
  we
• 27:33
  value,
• 27:33
  but
• 27:33
  our
• 27:34
  practices
• 27:35
  do
• 27:35
  not
• 27:35
  align.
• 27:36
  So
• 27:37
  if
• 27:37
  you
• 27:37
  say
• 27:37
  all
• 27:38
  students
• 27:39
  are
• 27:39
  going
• 27:40
  to
• 27:40
  be
• 27:40
  proficient
• 27:40
  at
• 27:41
  the
• 27:41
  end
• 27:41
  of
• 27:41
  grade
• 27:42
  six
• 27:43
  in
• 27:43
  math,
• 27:44
  then
• 27:45
  your
• 27:45
  numeric
• 27:45
  goal
• 27:46
  is
• 27:47
  100.
• 27:49
  It's
• 27:50
  not
• 27:50
  34
• 27:51
  plus
• 27:52
  six.
• 27:53
  Because
• 27:54
  we
• 27:55
  got
• 27:55
  to
• 27:55
  make
• 27:55
  a
• 27:55
  goal
• 27:55
  that
• 27:56
  we
• 27:56
  can
• 27:56
  actually
• 27:56
  get
• 27:57
  to.
• 27:58
  What
• 27:58
  the
• 27:58
  state
• 27:59
  said.
• 27:59
  We
• 27:59
  have
• 28:00
  to.
• 28:00
  Here's
• 28:00
  what
• 28:01
  the
• 28:01
  state
• 28:01
  is
• 28:01
  saying.
• 28:02
  Here's
• 28:02
  the
• 28:02
  bar.
• 28:04
  We
• 28:04
  need
• 28:04
  to
• 28:05
  be
• 28:05
  able
• 28:05
  to
• 28:05
  reach
• 28:05
  that
• 28:06
  bar
• 28:06
  in
• 28:07
  order
• 28:07
  to
• 28:07
  get
• 28:07
  maybe
• 28:08
  off
• 28:08
  of
• 28:08
  some
• 28:08
  list
• 28:09
  because,
• 28:10
  you
• 28:10
  know,
• 28:10
  we've
• 28:11
  now
• 28:12
  been
• 28:12
  deemed
• 28:13
  something
• 28:13
  horrible
• 28:14
  in
• 28:14
  their
• 28:15
  eyes.
• 28:15
  And
• 28:15
  so.
• 28:16
  So
• 28:17
  just
• 28:17
  say
• 28:17
  we're
• 28:17
  really
• 28:17
  only
• 28:18
  shooting
• 28:18
  for
• 28:18
  40%.
• 28:20
  Right.
• 28:21
  That's
• 28:21
  the
• 28:21
  best
• 28:22
  we
• 28:22
  can
• 28:22
  do
• 28:22
  this
• 28:22
  year,
• 28:23
  folks.
• 28:23
  We're
• 28:24
  gonna
• 28:24
  shoot
• 28:24
  for
• 28:24
  40%
• 28:26
  or
• 28:26
  bureaucratically,.
• 28:27
  You
• 28:27
  know,
• 28:27
  the
• 28:27
  whippings
• 28:28
  will
• 28:28
  cease
• 28:29
  as
• 28:29
  soon
• 28:29
  as
• 28:29
  morale
• 28:30
  improves.
• 28:31
  So
• 28:31
  we'll
• 28:31
  continue
• 28:31
  to
• 28:31
  beat
• 28:32
  you
• 28:32
  with
• 28:32
  the
• 28:32
  same
• 28:32
  cudgel.
• 28:33
  And
• 28:33
  it's
• 28:33
  not
• 28:33
  off
• 28:34
  the
• 28:34
  list
• 28:34
  for
• 28:34
  one
• 28:35
  year.
• 28:35
  Oh,
• 28:35
  yeah,
• 28:36
  right,
• 28:36
  right.
• 28:37
  It's.
• 28:37
  We
• 28:37
  have
• 28:38
  to
• 28:38
  sustain
• 28:39
  the
• 28:39
  growth.
• 28:40
  We
• 28:40
  have
• 28:40
  to
• 28:41
  sustain
• 28:41
  the
• 28:42
  improvement.
• 28:42
  It
• 28:42
  has
• 28:43
  to
• 28:43
  become
• 28:44
  literally
• 28:45
  the
• 28:46
  true
• 28:46
  mission,
• 28:47
  vision,
• 28:47
  and
• 28:47
  core
• 28:48
  principles
• 28:49
  and
• 28:49
  core
• 28:49
  values
• 28:50
  of
• 28:50
  the
• 28:50
  school.
• 28:51
  It
• 28:51
  comes
• 28:52
  with
• 28:52
  the
• 28:52
  practice.
• 28:53
  It
• 28:53
  comes
• 28:53
  with
• 28:54
  intentionality,
• 28:55
  not
• 28:56
  as
• 28:56
  a
• 28:56
  buzzword,
• 28:57
  but
• 28:57
  the
• 28:57
  real
• 28:58
  work.
• 28:59
  It
• 28:59
  really.
• 29:00
  It
• 29:00
  has
• 29:00
  to
• 29:01
  be
• 29:01
  activated
• 29:02
  for
• 29:02
  each
• 29:03
  and
• 29:03
  every
• 29:04
  and
• 29:04
  all
• 29:05
  student.
• 29:05
  And
• 29:06
  so
• 29:08
  we've
• 29:08
  had
• 29:09
  powerful
• 29:10
  intentions
• 29:11
  and
• 29:11
  a
• 29:12
  really
• 29:12
  strong
• 29:12
  drift.
• 29:13
  Where
• 29:14
  does
• 29:14
  drift
• 29:14
  cause
• 29:15
  the
• 29:15
  most
• 29:15
  damage?
• 29:17
  If
• 29:17
  we're
• 29:17
  so
• 29:18
  worried
• 29:18
  about.
• 29:19
  We
• 29:19
  talk
• 29:19
  about
• 29:19
  drift
• 29:20
  as
• 29:20
  a
• 29:20
  bad
• 29:20
  word.
• 29:21
  It
• 29:21
  is,
• 29:21
  right?
• 29:22
  We
• 29:22
  don't
• 29:22
  like
• 29:22
  it.
• 29:23
  We
• 29:23
  know
• 29:24
  it's
• 29:24
  inevitable,
• 29:24
  but
• 29:24
  we
• 29:25
  don't
• 29:25
  like
• 29:25
  it.
• 29:25
  And
• 29:25
  we
• 29:25
  have
• 29:26
  to
• 29:26
  be
• 29:26
  mindful
• 29:26
  of
• 29:27
  knowing
• 29:27
  when
• 29:27
  we're
• 29:27
  drifting
• 29:28
  so
• 29:28
  we
• 29:28
  can
• 29:28
  paddle
• 29:29
  back
• 29:30
  to
• 29:30
  where
• 29:30
  we.
• 29:30
  Where
• 29:30
  we
• 29:31
  need
• 29:31
  to
• 29:31
  be.
• 29:32
  Where
• 29:32
  does
• 29:33
  drift
• 29:34
  do
• 29:34
  the
• 29:35
  most
• 29:35
  damage,
• 29:35
  Kathy?
• 29:36
  To
• 29:36
  students,
• 29:37
  I
• 29:38
  mean,
• 29:38
  and
• 29:38
  they.
• 29:39
  I
• 29:39
  said.
• 29:39
  Like
• 29:40
  I
• 29:40
  said
• 29:40
  earlier,
• 29:40
  they
• 29:41
  tell
• 29:41
  us.
• 29:41
  And
• 29:42
  they
• 29:42
  tell
• 29:42
  us
• 29:42
  right
• 29:43
  away.
• 29:43
  I
• 29:43
  mean,
• 29:43
  we've.
• 29:44
  We've
• 29:44
  had
• 29:44
  these
• 29:44
  conversations
• 29:45
  with
• 29:45
  educators
• 29:47
  and
• 29:47
  students
• 29:48
  that
• 29:48
  are
• 29:49
  saying
• 29:50
  the
• 29:50
  same
• 29:50
  thing
• 29:51
  over
• 29:51
  and
• 29:51
  over
• 29:51
  again
• 29:52
  year
• 29:52
  after
• 29:52
  year
• 29:53
  after
• 29:53
  year.
• 29:54
  And
• 29:55
  it's.
• 29:55
  If
• 29:56
  we
• 29:56
  listen
• 29:56
  to
• 29:56
  students,
• 29:57
  I
• 29:58
  don't
• 29:58
  know
• 29:58
  how
• 29:59
  people
• 30:00
  cannot
• 30:00
  be
• 30:01
  compelled
• 30:02
  to
• 30:02
  listen,
• 30:04
  to
• 30:04
  act.
• 30:05
  Kathy,
• 30:06
  I
• 30:06
  just
• 30:06
  want
• 30:06
  to
• 30:07
  add,
• 30:08
  I
• 30:09
  think
• 30:09
  I
• 30:10
  totally
• 30:10
  agree
• 30:11
  with
• 30:11
  you.
• 30:12
  I
• 30:13
  think
• 30:13
  the
• 30:13
  impact
• 30:13
  is
• 30:14
  hit
• 30:14
  the
• 30:14
  most
• 30:14
  by
• 30:15
  classroom
• 30:15
  teachers.
• 30:17
  And
• 30:17
  then
• 30:18
  teachers
• 30:18
  have
• 30:19
  a
• 30:19
  hard
• 30:19
  time
• 30:21
  developing
• 30:22
  really
• 30:23
  good,
• 30:23
  competent,
• 30:24
  and
• 30:24
  effective
• 30:25
  practices
• 30:27
  because
• 30:29
  they're
• 30:29
  kind
• 30:29
  of
• 30:29
  the
• 30:30
  mediator
• 30:30
  between
• 30:32
  the
• 30:33
  bureaucratic
• 30:34
  and
• 30:34
  administrative
• 30:36
  movement.
• 30:37
  That
• 30:37
  quick
• 30:37
  movement
• 30:38
  shifts
• 30:39
  focus,
• 30:40
  lack
• 30:40
  of
• 30:40
  focus.
• 30:41
  I
• 30:41
  could
• 30:41
  go
• 30:41
  on
• 30:42
  and
• 30:42
  on.
• 30:42
  We're
• 30:42
  familiar
• 30:43
  with
• 30:43
  that
• 30:43
  space.
• 30:45
  And
• 30:45
  then
• 30:46
  how
• 30:47
  does
• 30:47
  that
• 30:47
  translate
• 30:48
  into.
• 30:49
  Into.
• 30:49
  Into
• 30:50
  what
• 30:50
  I
• 30:50
  deliver
• 30:51
  every
• 30:51
  day.
• 30:52
  And
• 30:53
  the
• 30:53
  empathy
• 30:54
  rather
• 30:54
  than
• 30:55
  the
• 30:55
  apathy.
• 30:56
  Right.
• 30:57
  The
• 30:57
  connection,
• 30:58
  rather
• 30:58
  than
• 30:58
  being
• 30:59
  complicit,
• 31:00
  which
• 31:00
  you
• 31:00
  had
• 31:00
  mentioned
• 31:01
  earlier,
• 31:02
  it's.
• 31:03
  How
• 31:03
  do
• 31:03
  I
• 31:03
  build
• 31:03
  that
• 31:04
  relationship
• 31:05
  with
• 31:05
  my
• 31:05
  students
• 31:06
  if
• 31:06
  I
• 31:07
  have
• 31:07
  to
• 31:07
  pace
• 31:07
  a
• 31:08
  lesson,
• 31:08
  seed
• 31:08
  every
• 31:09
  day,
• 31:10
  and
• 31:11
  move
• 31:11
  through
• 31:11
  this
• 31:12
  mechanically
• 31:13
  and
• 31:13
  transactionally
• 31:15
  rather
• 31:15
  than
• 31:17
  to
• 31:17
  be
• 31:18
  able
• 31:18
  to
• 31:18
  be
• 31:19
  creative,
• 31:20
  innovative,
• 31:20
  and
• 31:21
  transformational
• 31:22
  for
• 31:22
  the
• 31:22
  students
• 31:23
  so
• 31:23
  that
• 31:23
  they
• 31:23
  could
• 31:24
  achieve
• 31:24
  their
• 31:24
  full
• 31:24
  potential.
• 31:25
  Educators,
• 31:27
  specifically
• 31:28
  classroom
• 31:28
  teachers.
• 31:29
  I'm
• 31:29
  really
• 31:29
  being
• 31:30
  specific
• 31:31
  when
• 31:31
  I
• 31:31
  identified
• 31:32
  a
• 31:32
  role.
• 31:33
  So
• 31:33
  my
• 31:33
  heart
• 31:34
  goes
• 31:34
  out
• 31:34
  to
• 31:35
  teachers
• 31:35
  and
• 31:36
  definitely
• 31:37
  students
• 31:38
  because
• 31:38
  they
• 31:38
  are
• 31:39
  impacted
• 31:40
  the
• 31:40
  most
• 31:40
  by
• 31:41
  the
• 31:41
  drift.
• 31:42
  I
• 31:42
  think
• 31:42
  about
• 31:43
  culture
• 31:44
  and
• 31:44
  how
• 31:44
  culture
• 31:45
  is
• 31:45
  impacted
• 31:46
  by
• 31:46
  daily
• 31:46
  moves,
• 31:47
  daily
• 31:48
  practices
• 31:49
  that
• 31:49
  I
• 31:49
  hear
• 31:50
  in
• 31:50
  your
• 31:51
  comment,
• 31:51
  Alicia.
• 31:52
  And
• 31:53
  that
• 31:54
  culture,
• 31:55
  if
• 31:55
  it
• 31:55
  isn't
• 31:56
  rooted
• 31:57
  in
• 31:57
  North
• 31:58
  Star
• 31:59
  values
• 31:59
  about
• 32:00
  what's
• 32:00
  important,
• 32:01
  it
• 32:02
  will
• 32:02
  take
• 32:02
  over
• 32:03
  because
• 32:04
  it
• 32:04
  will
• 32:04
  be
• 32:04
  comprised
• 32:05
  of
• 32:05
  the
• 32:06
  daily
• 32:06
  moves
• 32:07
  we
• 32:07
  are
• 32:07
  encouraged,
• 32:09
  coerced
• 32:10
  to
• 32:11
  make.
• 32:11
  Being
• 32:12
  that,
• 32:12
  that
• 32:13
  captures
• 32:13
  everybody.
• 32:14
  Yeah,
• 32:15
  it
• 32:15
  does.
• 32:15
  Because
• 32:16
  being
• 32:17
  your,
• 32:17
  Your
• 32:18
  true
• 32:19
  self
• 32:19
  with
• 32:20
  that
• 32:21
  deep
• 32:21
  moral
• 32:22
  imperative,
• 32:23
  the
• 32:24
  advocacy
• 32:25
  is.
• 32:25
  Is
• 32:26
  just.
• 32:26
  You
• 32:27
  attempt
• 32:27
  to
• 32:27
  be
• 32:28
  just,
• 32:28
  but
• 32:29
  it's
• 32:29
  exhausting.
• 32:30
  So
• 32:30
  back
• 32:31
  to
• 32:31
  your
• 32:31
  comment,
• 32:31
  Alicia,
• 32:32
  about
• 32:32
  being
• 32:33
  this
• 32:33
  pariah.
• 32:35
  Do
• 32:35
  you.
• 32:35
  It
• 32:36
  takes
• 32:36
  such
• 32:36
  a
• 32:37
  strong
• 32:38
  willingness
• 32:39
  to
• 32:40
  be
• 32:40
  courageous,
• 32:41
  to
• 32:41
  stand
• 32:42
  in
• 32:42
  that
• 32:43
  moral
• 32:44
  imperative
• 32:46
  and
• 32:46
  not
• 32:46
  allow
• 32:47
  it,
• 32:47
  you
• 32:47
  know,
• 32:48
  so
• 32:48
  it's.
• 32:49
  I
• 32:49
  often
• 32:50
  use
• 32:50
  a
• 32:51
  silly
• 32:51
  thing
• 32:51
  from
• 32:52
  Dr.
• 32:52
  Seuss,
• 32:52
  you
• 32:53
  know,
• 32:53
  where
• 32:53
  it's
• 32:53
  like,
• 32:54
  you
• 32:54
  just
• 32:54
  speak
• 32:54
  for
• 32:55
  the
• 32:55
  trees,
• 32:55
  you
• 32:56
  know,
• 32:56
  the
• 32:56
  Lorax.
• 32:57
  I
• 32:57
  speak
• 32:57
  for
• 32:57
  the
• 32:57
  Truffula
• 32:58
  trees.
• 32:58
  And
• 32:59
  watch,
• 32:59
  like,
• 33:00
  you
• 33:00
  don't
• 33:01
  stop.
• 33:02
  You,
• 33:03
  you
• 33:03
  just.
• 33:03
  We
• 33:03
  can't.
• 33:05
  And
• 33:05
  so
• 33:05
  as
• 33:05
  our
• 33:06
  listeners
• 33:06
  are
• 33:06
  thinking,
• 33:07
  like,
• 33:07
  okay,
• 33:08
  like,
• 33:08
  I'll
• 33:08
  just
• 33:09
  throw
• 33:09
  up
• 33:09
  my
• 33:09
  hands.
• 33:10
  It's
• 33:10
  just
• 33:10
  these
• 33:11
  systems.
• 33:11
  It's
• 33:11
  just
• 33:12
  all
• 33:12
  there.
• 33:13
  And
• 33:13
  all
• 33:13
  these,
• 33:14
  you
• 33:14
  know,
• 33:14
  phenomenal
• 33:15
  educators
• 33:16
  that
• 33:16
  walk
• 33:17
  this
• 33:17
  planet
• 33:18
  that
• 33:19
  are
• 33:19
  talking
• 33:19
  on
• 33:20
  this
• 33:20
  podcast
• 33:21
  are
• 33:21
  saying
• 33:21
  that,
• 33:22
  okay,
• 33:22
  but
• 33:22
  these,
• 33:23
  these
• 33:23
  systems
• 33:24
  and
• 33:24
  this
• 33:24
  drift
• 33:25
  and
• 33:25
  all
• 33:25
  of
• 33:25
  these
• 33:25
  things,
• 33:26
  but
• 33:27
  takes
• 33:28
  that.
• 33:30
  Those
• 33:30
  voices
• 33:31
  to
• 33:32
  say,
• 33:32
  we
• 33:32
  cannot.
• 33:33
  We
• 33:34
  need
• 33:34
  those
• 33:34
  educators
• 33:36
  to
• 33:36
  be
• 33:38
  speaking
• 33:38
  up
• 33:39
  and
• 33:39
  speaking
• 33:39
  for
• 33:41
  our
• 33:41
  students.
• 33:43
  So,
• 33:43
  you
• 33:43
  know,
• 33:43
  to
• 33:43
  swim
• 33:44
  against
• 33:44
  the
• 33:44
  current.
• 33:45
  And
• 33:45
  that's
• 33:45
  what
• 33:45
  you're
• 33:45
  talking
• 33:45
  about,
• 33:46
  Kathy.
• 33:46
  To
• 33:46
  swim
• 33:47
  against
• 33:47
  the
• 33:47
  current
• 33:48
  takes
• 33:49
  a
• 33:49
  lot
• 33:49
  of
• 33:49
  courage,
• 33:51
  takes
• 33:51
  a
• 33:51
  lot
• 33:51
  of
• 33:51
  strength.
• 33:53
  It's
• 33:53
  that
• 33:54
  personal
• 33:54
  will
• 33:55
  and
• 33:55
  purpose
• 33:55
  Grant,
• 33:56
  as
• 33:56
  you
• 33:57
  opened
• 33:58
  our
• 33:58
  conversation
• 33:59
  today.
• 34:00
  But
• 34:00
  it
• 34:00
  also
• 34:01
  takes
• 34:01
  others
• 34:01
  that
• 34:02
  are
• 34:02
  very
• 34:02
  supportive.
• 34:03
  Yes.
• 34:04
  Whether
• 34:04
  that
• 34:04
  be
• 34:04
  mentorship,
• 34:05
  like
• 34:06
  who
• 34:06
  is
• 34:06
  in
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  village.
• 34:08
  Do
• 34:08
  you
• 34:08
  have
• 34:08
  the
• 34:09
  right
• 34:09
  tribe
• 34:09
  around
• 34:10
  you?
• 34:10
  Because
• 34:11
  you
• 34:11
  can't
• 34:11
  fight
• 34:12
  this
• 34:12
  battle
• 34:12
  on
• 34:12
  your
• 34:13
  own.
• 34:13
  Because
• 34:13
  it's.
• 34:14
  It's
• 34:14
  systemic.
• 34:15
  There
• 34:15
  are
• 34:16
  systemic
• 34:17
  inequities.
• 34:18
  Right.
• 34:18
  There's.
• 34:18
  There
• 34:19
  are
• 34:19
  breaks
• 34:19
  in
• 34:20
  the
• 34:20
  system.
• 34:21
  Right.
• 34:21
  Which
• 34:21
  causes
• 34:22
  the
• 34:22
  drift,
• 34:22
  the
• 34:23
  fragments,
• 34:23
  the
• 34:24
  cracks.
• 34:25
  And
• 34:26
  we
• 34:26
  can
• 34:26
  only
• 34:26
  mask
• 34:27
  ourselves,
• 34:27
  but
• 34:28
  so
• 34:28
  much,
• 34:29
  because
• 34:29
  we
• 34:29
  are
• 34:29
  going
• 34:29
  to
• 34:30
  show
• 34:30
  up
• 34:30
  in
• 34:31
  the
• 34:31
  space
• 34:32
  and
• 34:32
  either
• 34:33
  we
• 34:34
  acquiesce,
• 34:36
  we
• 34:36
  keep
• 34:37
  going,
• 34:37
  or
• 34:38
  we.
• 34:38
  Just
• 34:39
  leave
• 34:40
  So
• 34:40
  I
• 34:40
  want
• 34:40
  to
• 34:41
  encourage
• 34:41
  you,
• 34:42
  right?
• 34:42
  I
• 34:42
  want
• 34:42
  to
• 34:43
  encourage
• 34:43
  you.
• 34:43
  There's
• 34:43
  a
• 34:44
  lot
• 34:44
  of
• 34:44
  deep
• 34:44
  thinking
• 34:45
  in
• 34:45
  this.
• 34:45
  In
• 34:45
  this
• 34:45
  episode
• 34:46
  today,
• 34:46
  which
• 34:46
  is
• 34:47
  why
• 34:47
  I
• 34:47
  love
• 34:47
  it
• 34:48
  when
• 34:48
  these
• 34:48
  humans
• 34:49
  come
• 34:49
  together.
• 34:50
  So
• 34:50
  if
• 34:50
  you're
• 34:50
  listening
• 34:51
  and
• 34:51
  you're
• 34:51
  like,
• 34:51
  oh,
• 34:51
  yes,
• 34:52
  yes,
• 34:52
  yes,
• 34:52
  yes,
• 34:53
  yes,
• 34:53
  you're
• 34:53
  saying,
• 34:54
  I
• 34:55
  want
• 34:55
  to
• 34:55
  encourage
• 34:55
  you
• 34:55
  to
• 34:55
  do.
• 34:56
  Do
• 34:56
  two
• 34:57
  things.
• 34:57
  I
• 34:58
  want
• 34:58
  you
• 34:58
  to.
• 34:58
  I
• 34:58
  want
• 34:58
  you
• 34:59
  to
• 34:59
  write
• 34:59
  down
• 34:59
  in
• 35:00
  your
• 35:00
  own
• 35:00
  language
• 35:02
  what
• 35:02
  your
• 35:02
  North
• 35:03
  Star
• 35:03
  is.
• 35:04
  You
• 35:04
  identify
• 35:04
  it
• 35:05
  for
• 35:05
  yourself.
• 35:06
  No
• 35:06
  one
• 35:06
  else
• 35:06
  can
• 35:06
  identify
• 35:07
  it
• 35:07
  for
• 35:07
  you.
• 35:08
  Grant
• 35:08
  Chandler's
• 35:09
  North
• 35:09
  Star
• 35:09
  is
• 35:09
  not
• 35:09
  Cathy
• 35:10
  Monies.
• 35:10
  They're
• 35:10
  darn
• 35:11
  close.
• 35:13
  They're
• 35:14
  darn
• 35:14
  close,
• 35:14
  right?
• 35:15
  But
• 35:15
  identify
• 35:16
  your
• 35:16
  North
• 35:16
  Star.
• 35:18
  Print
• 35:18
  that
• 35:18
  somewhere.
• 35:19
  Put
• 35:19
  that
• 35:19
  somewhere
• 35:19
  where
• 35:20
  you
• 35:20
  have
• 35:20
  to
• 35:20
  look
• 35:20
  at
• 35:21
  it
• 35:21
  every
• 35:22
  single
• 35:22
  day
• 35:23
  and
• 35:23
  try
• 35:23
  to
• 35:24
  live
• 35:24
  into
• 35:24
  it
• 35:25
  every
• 35:26
  single
• 35:26
  day.
• 35:26
  Be
• 35:27
  cognizant
• 35:28
  of
• 35:28
  when
• 35:28
  you're
• 35:28
  living
• 35:29
  into
• 35:29
  your
• 35:29
  North
• 35:30
  Star
• 35:31
  and
• 35:31
  when
• 35:32
  you're
• 35:33
  drifting
• 35:33
  a
• 35:33
  little
• 35:34
  bit,
• 35:34
  right?
• 35:34
  And
• 35:34
  when
• 35:34
  you're
• 35:35
  drifting
• 35:35
  a
• 35:35
  little
• 35:35
  bit.
• 35:36
  And
• 35:36
  remember,
• 35:37
  the
• 35:37
  Wheelhouse
• 35:37
  is

  We

  We're

  here

  reach

  out

  listening
• 35:48
  to
• 35:48
  the
• 35:48
  Wheelhouse,
• 35:49
  but
• 35:49
  this
• 35:49
  is
• 35:49
  what
• 35:50
  the
• 35:50
  Wheelhouse
• 35:50
  is
• 35:50
  all
• 35:51
  about.
• 35:52
  It's
• 35:53
  all
• 35:53
  about
• 35:53
  your
• 35:53
  North
• 35:54
  Star
• 35:54
  and
• 35:54
  our
• 35:55
  North
• 35:55
  Star.
• 35:55
  And
• 35:56
  we
• 35:56
  aren't
• 35:56
  going
• 35:56
  anywhere.
• 35:57
  Neither
• 35:58
  are
• 35:58
  you.
• 35:59
  So
• 35:59
  let's
• 36:00
  do
• 36:00
  this
• 36:01
  together.
• 36:02
  And
• 36:03
  we'll
• 36:03
  see
• 36:03
  you
• 36:04
  next
• 36:04
  week
• 36:05
  for
• 36:05
  another
• 36:06
  episode
• 36:07
  of
• 36:07
  the
• 36:07
  Wheelhouse.
• 36:13
  And
• 36:13
  that's
• 36:14
  a
• 36:14
  wrap
• 36:15
  of
• 36:15
  episode
• 36:15
  8
• 36:16
  of
• 36:16
  season
• 36:16
  12.
• 36:18
  A
• 36:18
  special
• 36:19
  thank
• 36:19
  you
• 36:19
  to
• 36:20
  my
• 36:20
  amazing
• 36:20
  Wheelhouse
• 36:21
  team
• 36:22
  of
• 36:22
  Kathy
• 36:22
  Mone,
• 36:23
  Michael
• 36:23
  Pipa
• 36:24
  and
• 36:24
  Dr.
• 36:25
  Alicia
• 36:25
  Munro.
• 36:27
  If
• 36:27
  this
• 36:27
  conversation
• 36:28
  felt
• 36:29
  a
• 36:29
  little
• 36:29
  uncomfortable,
• 36:31
  it
• 36:31
  should,
• 36:33
  because
• 36:33
  the
• 36:33
  gap
• 36:34
  between
• 36:34
  what
• 36:34
  we
• 36:35
  say
• 36:36
  and
• 36:36
  what
• 36:36
  we
• 36:37
  do
• 36:37
  in
• 36:37
  education,
• 36:38
  well,
• 36:39
  that's
• 36:39
  where
• 36:39
  drift
• 36:39
  lives.
• 36:42
  And
• 36:42
  drift
• 36:42
  doesn't
• 36:43
  come
• 36:43
  from
• 36:43
  bad
• 36:43
  intentions.
• 36:46
  It
• 36:46
  comes
• 36:46
  from
• 36:47
  misalignment.
• 36:49
  It
• 36:49
  comes
• 36:49
  from
• 36:50
  systems
• 36:50
  that
• 36:51
  don't
• 36:51
  hold.
• 36:53
  It
• 36:53
  comes
• 36:53
  from
• 36:54
  habits
• 36:55
  we
• 36:55
  don't
• 36:56
  question.
• 36:58
  So
• 36:58
  the
• 36:58
  question
• 36:58
  today
• 36:59
  isn't
• 36:59
  whether
• 36:59
  we
• 36:59
  care.
• 37:01
  The
• 37:01
  question
• 37:02
  is
• 37:02
  whether
• 37:03
  our
• 37:03
  systems
• 37:04
  prove
• 37:04
  it.
• 37:06
  In
• 37:06
  classrooms,
• 37:07
  in
• 37:08
  conversations,
• 37:10
  in
• 37:10
  the
• 37:10
  daily
• 37:11
  experience
• 37:11
  of
• 37:12
  students.
• 37:14
  And
• 37:14
  if
• 37:14
  they
• 37:14
  don't,
• 37:16
  then
• 37:17
  we
• 37:17
  have
• 37:17
  work
• 37:17
  to
• 37:17
  do.
• 37:19
  Thank
• 37:19
  you
• 37:19
  for
• 37:20
  being
• 37:20
  with
• 37:20
  us
• 37:20
  in
• 37:20
  the
• 37:20
  Wheelhouse.
• 37:21
  Until
• 37:22
  next
• 37:22
  time,
• 37:22
  keep
• 37:23
  your
• 37:23
  doors
• 37:23
  open
• 37:24
  and
• 37:24
  your
• 37:24
  hearts
• 37:25
  even
• 37:25
  wider.
