  the
• 4:56
  kind
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  leadership
• 4:57
  that
• 4:58
  keeps
• 4:58
  opportunity
• 4:59
  from
• 4:59
  being
• 5:00
  locked
• 5:00
  away.
• 5:01
  My
• 5:01
  question,
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  big
• 5:02
  question
• 5:02
  for
• 5:03
  this
• 5:03
  episode,
• 5:03
  when
• 5:04
  we
• 5:04
  think
• 5:04
  about
• 5:05
  open
• 5:05
  doors
• 5:05
  and
• 5:06
  unlimited
• 5:06
  possibilities,
• 5:08
  what
• 5:08
  doors
• 5:08
  need
• 5:09
  opening
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  who
• 5:11
  holds
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  key?
• 5:13
  And
• 5:13
  we'll
• 5:13
  start
• 5:13
  with.
• 5:14
  I'm
• 5:14
  just
• 5:14
  going
• 5:14
  to
• 5:14
  throw
• 5:14
  a
• 5:15
  question
• 5:15
  out
• 5:15
  there
• 5:15
  for
• 5:15
  these
• 5:16
  geniuses.
• 5:17
  Right.
• 5:17
  What
• 5:18
  does
• 5:18
  it
• 5:18
  take
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  open
• 5:19
  doors
• 5:19
  wide
• 5:19
  enough
• 5:21
  so
• 5:21
  that
• 5:22
  all
• 5:22
  students
• 5:23
  not
• 5:23
  only
• 5:24
  walk
• 5:24
  through
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  open
• 5:25
  doors,
• 5:26
  but
• 5:27
  they
• 5:27
  thrive?
• 5:30
  So
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  first
• 5:30
  word
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  pops
• 5:31
  in
• 5:31
  my
• 5:32
  mind
• 5:32
  is
• 5:32
  intentionality.
• 5:34
  That
• 5:34
  there
• 5:34
  has
• 5:34
  to
• 5:35
  be
• 5:36
  an
• 5:36
  intention
• 5:38
  from
• 5:38
  the
• 5:39
  onset
• 5:39
  that
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  is
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  goal.
• 5:41
  That's
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  mission,
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  ensure
• 5:43
  that
• 5:44
  all
• 5:45
  students
• 5:46
  have
• 5:46
  the
• 5:47
  opportunity
• 5:47
  to
• 5:48
  learn
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  in
• 5:50
  an
• 5:50
  environment
• 5:51
  that
• 5:51
  is
• 5:52
  safe
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  supporting.
• 5:54
  Yeah,
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  was
• 5:55
  thinking
• 5:56
  as
• 5:56
  well,
• 5:58
  I
• 5:58
  think
• 5:58
  a
• 5:59
  desire
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  want
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  door
• 6:00
  open
• 6:02
  and
• 6:02
  to
• 6:02
  realize
• 6:03
  that
• 6:05
  it
• 6:05
  isn't
• 6:05
  always
• 6:06
  open
• 6:07
  in
• 6:08
  order
• 6:08
  for
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  child
• 6:09
  to
• 6:10
  know
• 6:10
  where
• 6:10
  they're
• 6:10
  going,
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  see
• 6:11
  what
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  opportunities
• 6:12
  are
• 6:12
  and
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  have
• 6:13
  access
• 6:13
  to
• 6:14
  those
• 6:14
  opportunities.
• 6:15
  I
• 6:15
  believe
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  those
• 6:16
  individuals
• 6:17
  who
• 6:17
  are
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  doorkeepers,
• 6:19
  if
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  will,
• 6:20
  as
• 6:20
  opposed
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  gatekeepers,
• 6:21
  are
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  same.
• 6:23
  Have
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  realize
• 6:23
  the
• 6:24
  potential
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  all
• 6:24
  children
• 6:25
  have
• 6:25
  and
• 6:26
  allowing
• 6:26
  them
• 6:27
  to
• 6:28
  approach
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  door,
• 6:29
  see
• 6:29
  it,
• 6:30
  approach
• 6:30
  it,
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  then
• 6:31
  ultimately
• 6:32
  work
• 6:32
  their
• 6:33
  way
• 6:33
  through
• 6:33
  it.
• 6:34
  Yeah,
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  was
• 6:34
  just
• 6:35
  going
• 6:35
  to
• 6:35
  say
• 6:35
  we
• 6:35
  also
• 6:35
  have
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  be
• 6:36
  willing
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  admit
• 6:38
  when.
• 6:39
  When
• 6:39
  the
• 6:40
  system
• 6:40
  is
• 6:40
  broken,
• 6:42
  I
• 6:42
  think
• 6:42
  we
• 6:42
  have
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  be
• 6:43
  open
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  honest
• 6:44
  about
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  opportunities
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  aren't
• 6:46
  there
• 6:47
  and
• 6:47
  come
• 6:47
  face
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  face
• 6:48
  with
• 6:48
  our
• 6:48
  current
• 6:49
  conditions.
• 6:49
  I
• 6:49
  think
• 6:49
  sometimes
• 6:50
  we're
• 6:50
  not
• 6:50
  even
• 6:50
  willing
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  admit
• 6:52
  what
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  challenges
• 6:53
  actually
• 6:53
  are.
• 6:53
  So
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  think
• 6:54
  part
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  it
• 6:54
  is
• 6:54
  we
• 6:55
  have
• 6:55
  to
• 6:55
  be
• 6:55
  honest
• 6:55
  and
• 6:55
  real.
• 6:55
  With
• 6:56
  ourselves
• 6:57
  and
• 6:57
  because
• 6:57
  of
• 6:57
  those
• 6:58
  broken
• 6:58
  systems
• 6:59
  and
• 7:00
  in
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  current
• 7:00
  reality
• 7:01
  we
• 7:01
  have
• 7:01
  to
• 7:02
  be
• 7:02
  flexible
• 7:02
  in
• 7:03
  that
• 7:03
  approach.
• 7:04
  So
• 7:04
  I
• 7:05
  work
• 7:05
  with
• 7:05
  pre
• 7:05
  service
• 7:05
  teachers
• 7:07
  primarily
• 7:07
  and
• 7:08
  one
• 7:09
  of
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  things
• 7:09
  that
• 7:09
  I
• 7:10
  am
• 7:10
  challenged
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  do
• 7:11
  is
• 7:11
  help
• 7:11
  those
• 7:12
  pre
• 7:12
  service
• 7:12
  teachers
• 7:13
  see
• 7:14
  those
• 7:14
  inequities
• 7:14
  in
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  system
• 7:16
  and
• 7:16
  help
• 7:17
  them
• 7:17
  to
• 7:17
  think
• 7:17
  about
• 7:17
  the
• 7:18
  ways
• 7:18
  that
• 7:18
  they
• 7:19
  can
• 7:19
  work
• 7:19
  from
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  very
• 7:20
  start
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  their
• 7:21
  entry
• 7:22
  into
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  profession
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  address
• 7:23
  those
• 7:24
  inequities
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  and
• 7:26
  help
• 7:26
  them
• 7:26
  to
• 7:26
  think
• 7:27
  about
• 7:27
  what
• 7:27
  can
• 7:27
  I
• 7:28
  do
• 7:28
  to
• 7:29
  fix
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  system
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  what
• 7:30
  type
• 7:31
  of
• 7:31
  teacher
• 7:31
  can
• 7:31
  I
• 7:32
  be
• 7:32
  to
• 7:33
  open
• 7:34
  those
• 7:34
  doors
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  invite
• 7:35
  students
• 7:36
  into
• 7:37
  these
• 7:37
  spaces.
• 7:38
  I'm
• 7:39
  thinking
• 7:39
  of
• 7:40
  a
• 7:40
  quote
• 7:40
  attributed
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  Michelangelo.
• 7:42
  Maybe
• 7:42
  it's
• 7:42
  apocryphal,
• 7:43
  but
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  like
• 7:43
  it.
• 7:44
  I
• 7:44
  saw
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  angel
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  marble
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  I
• 7:46
  carved
• 7:46
  until
• 7:46
  I
• 7:47
  set
• 7:47
  him
• 7:47
  free.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:48
  when
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  think
• 7:48
  of
• 7:49
  equity,
• 7:50
  it's
• 7:50
  what
• 7:51
  do
• 7:51
  we
• 7:52
  need
• 7:52
  to
• 7:52
  do
• 7:53
  for
• 7:53
  each
• 7:53
  student
• 7:55
  and
• 7:55
  to
• 7:56
  set
• 7:56
  them
• 7:56
  free
• 7:57
  and
• 7:57
  you
• 7:57
  know,
• 7:58
  within
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  system
• 7:58
  that
• 7:59
  doesn't
• 7:59
  always
• 7:59
  allow
• 8:00
  us
• 8:00
  or
• 8:00
  we
• 8:00
  feel
• 8:01
  like
• 8:01
  we
• 8:01
  don't
• 8:01
  have
• 8:01
  that
• 8:02
  freedom.
• 8:02
  What
• 8:03
  do
• 8:03
  we
• 8:03
  do
• 8:04
  to
• 8:04
  get
• 8:04
  past
• 8:04
  the.
• 8:05
  Help
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  student
• 8:05
  get
• 8:06
  past
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  barriers
• 8:07
  and
• 8:08
  you
• 8:08
  know,
• 8:09
  another
• 8:09
  big
• 8:10
  piece
• 8:10
  of
• 8:10
  opening
• 8:11
  door
• 8:11
  to
• 8:11
  equity
• 8:11
  in
• 8:12
  this
• 8:12
  challenging
• 8:13
  political
• 8:13
  moment.
• 8:15
  There's
• 8:15
  this
• 8:16
  mindset.
• 8:17
  Heather
• 8:17
  McGee
• 8:18
  did
• 8:18
  it
• 8:18
  in
• 8:18
  her
• 8:18
  book
• 8:18
  for
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  Sum
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  Us
• 8:19
  that
• 8:20
  like
• 8:20
  life
• 8:21
  is
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  zero
• 8:21
  sum
• 8:21
  game.
• 8:22
  And
• 8:22
  so
• 8:22
  if
• 8:22
  I
• 8:22
  do
• 8:22
  something
• 8:23
  for
• 8:23
  student
• 8:23
  A,
• 8:24
  that
• 8:24
  somehow
• 8:24
  student
• 8:25
  B
• 8:25
  is
• 8:25
  being
• 8:25
  cheated
• 8:26
  out
• 8:26
  of
• 8:26
  something
• 8:26
  or
• 8:27
  getting
• 8:28
  lesser.
• 8:29
  And
• 8:29
  I
• 8:29
  think
• 8:29
  we
• 8:30
  have
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  work
• 8:30
  really
• 8:30
  intentionally
• 8:32
  about
• 8:32
  backing
• 8:33
  away
• 8:33
  from
• 8:33
  that
• 8:34
  zero
• 8:34
  sum
• 8:34
  mentality
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  say,
• 8:36
  you
• 8:36
  know,
• 8:36
  when
• 8:37
  I
• 8:37
  have
• 8:37
  a
• 8:37
  student
• 8:37
  like
• 8:37
  I
• 8:37
  had
• 8:38
  Zach
• 8:38
  with
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  reading
• 8:38
  disability,
• 8:40
  he's
• 8:40
  going
• 8:40
  to
• 8:40
  the
• 8:40
  resource
• 8:41
  room.
• 8:41
  The
• 8:41
  tests
• 8:42
  were
• 8:42
  not
• 8:42
  going
• 8:42
  well.
• 8:43
  I
• 8:43
  asked
• 8:43
  him,
• 8:43
  hey,
• 8:44
  how
• 8:44
  about
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  redo
• 8:44
  the
• 8:45
  test
• 8:45
  in
• 8:45
  class?
• 8:45
  We
• 8:46
  try
• 8:46
  that
• 8:46
  once.
• 8:46
  He
• 8:47
  should
• 8:47
  have
• 8:47
  said
• 8:47
  no.
• 8:47
  A
• 8:48
  16
• 8:48
  year
• 8:48
  old
• 8:48
  boy
• 8:48
  getting
• 8:49
  read
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  in
• 8:49
  class,
• 8:49
  there's
• 8:50
  a
• 8:50
  million
• 8:50
  reasons
• 8:50
  he
• 8:50
  should
• 8:51
  have
• 8:51
  said
• 8:51
  no.
• 8:51
  He
• 8:51
  goes,
• 8:51
  okay,
• 8:52
  let's
• 8:52
  try
• 8:52
  it.
• 8:52
  And
• 8:53
  we
• 8:53
  did.
• 8:53
  And
• 8:54
  he
• 8:54
  started
• 8:54
  getting
• 8:54
  70s
• 8:55
  and
• 8:55
  80s
• 8:55
  on
• 8:55
  the
• 8:55
  test
• 8:56
  that
• 8:57
  detracted
• 8:57
  nothing
• 8:58
  from
• 8:58
  any
• 8:58
  other
• 8:58
  student
• 8:59
  in
• 8:59
  class.
• 9:00
  That
• 9:00
  little
• 9:00
  bit
• 9:00
  of
• 9:01
  equity
• 9:02
  and
• 9:02
  I
• 9:02
  think
• 9:02
  we
• 9:03
  have
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  really
• 9:03
  work
• 9:04
  on
• 9:04
  that
• 9:04
  mindset
• 9:04
  about
• 9:05
  helping
• 9:06
  one
• 9:06
  person
• 9:06
  or
• 9:06
  one
• 9:07
  group
• 9:07
  of
• 9:07
  people
• 9:07
  does
• 9:07
  not
• 9:07
  detract
• 9:08
  from
• 9:08
  others.
• 9:09
  Let's
• 9:09
  explore
• 9:10
  that
• 9:10
  mindset
• 9:11
  shift.
• 9:12
  Duane
• 9:12
  Chisholm
• 9:12
  has
• 9:13
  written
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  whole
• 9:13
  book
• 9:13
  about
• 9:13
  that.
• 9:15
  Right?
• 9:16
  How
• 9:17
  we
• 9:17
  need
• 9:17
  to
• 9:17
  shift
• 9:18
  that
• 9:18
  mindset.
• 9:18
  Sir,
• 9:19
  what's
• 9:19
  going
• 9:19
  on.
• 9:20
  What
• 9:20
  can
• 9:20
  you
• 9:21
  add,
• 9:21
  what
• 9:21
  brilliance
• 9:21
  can
• 9:22
  you
• 9:22
  add
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  this
• 9:22
  conversation
• 9:23
  about
• 9:23
  mindset?
• 9:24
  Yeah,
• 9:24
  I
• 9:24
  was
• 9:25
  just,
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  know,
• 9:25
  I
• 9:26
  think
• 9:26
  someone
• 9:26
  Opal
• 9:27
  talked
• 9:27
  about,
• 9:27
  you
• 9:27
  have
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  have
• 9:28
  this
• 9:28
  willingness.
• 9:29
  I
• 9:29
  think
• 9:29
  we
• 9:30
  all
• 9:30
  have
• 9:30
  blinders,
• 9:31
  and
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  think
• 9:31
  sometimes
• 9:32
  we're
• 9:32
  not
• 9:32
  willing
• 9:32
  to
• 9:33
  admit
• 9:33
  that
• 9:34
  there
• 9:34
  are
• 9:34
  things,
• 9:34
  quite
• 9:34
  frankly,
• 9:35
  that
• 9:35
  we
• 9:35
  can't
• 9:35
  see.
• 9:36
  And
• 9:36
  I
• 9:36
  think
• 9:37
  part
• 9:37
  of
• 9:37
  what
• 9:38
  we
• 9:38
  have
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  do
• 9:38
  is
• 9:38
  really
• 9:39
  break
• 9:39
  it
• 9:39
  down
• 9:39
  to
• 9:40
  what
• 9:41
  looking
• 9:41
  at
• 9:41
  each
• 9:42
  individual
• 9:42
  kid.
• 9:43
  You
• 9:43
  know,
• 9:43
  as
• 9:44
  much
• 9:44
  as
• 9:44
  we
• 9:44
  talk
• 9:44
  about
• 9:45
  differentiation
• 9:46
  and
• 9:46
  all
• 9:46
  these
• 9:46
  different
• 9:47
  types
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  things,
• 9:48
  I
• 9:48
  seldom
• 9:49
  walk
• 9:49
  into
• 9:49
  classrooms
• 9:50
  where
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  see
• 9:50
  it
• 9:50
  happening
• 9:51
  masterfully
• 9:52
  and
• 9:52
  well.
• 9:52
  And
• 9:53
  I
• 9:53
  think
• 9:53
  we
• 9:53
  have
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  get
• 9:53
  to
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  point
• 9:54
  where
• 9:54
  we're
• 9:54
  really
• 9:54
  co
• 9:55
  creating
• 9:55
  experiences
• 9:57
  with
• 9:57
  kids.
• 9:59
  So
• 9:59
  as
• 9:59
  much
• 9:59
  as
• 9:59
  we
• 9:59
  talk
• 10:00
  about
• 10:00
  these
• 10:01
  systems
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  about
• 10:02
  equity,
• 10:02
  I
• 10:02
  think
• 10:02
  we
• 10:03
  have
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  realize
• 10:04
  who
• 10:04
  are
• 10:04
  our
• 10:04
  schools
• 10:05
  actually
• 10:05
  designed
• 10:06
  for
• 10:07
  and
• 10:07
  making
• 10:07
  sure
• 10:08
  that
• 10:08
  we're
• 10:08
  delivering
• 10:08
  on
• 10:08
  that
• 10:09
  promise
• 10:09
  of
• 10:09
  designing
• 10:10
  it
• 10:10
  with
• 10:10
  each
• 10:11
  kid
• 10:11
  actually
• 10:12
  in
• 10:12
  mind.
• 10:13
  And
• 10:13
  what
• 10:14
  voice
• 10:14
  do
• 10:14
  we
• 10:15
  need
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  give
• 10:15
  to
• 10:15
  them
• 10:16
  to
• 10:16
  actually
• 10:16
  empower
• 10:17
  them
• 10:17
  to
• 10:17
  help
• 10:17
  us
• 10:18
  create
• 10:18
  and
• 10:18
  shape
• 10:18
  the
• 10:18
  environments?
• 10:19
  And
• 10:20
  what
• 10:20
  role
• 10:20
  does
• 10:21
  leadership
• 10:21
  play
• 10:22
  in
• 10:23
  all
• 10:23
  of
• 10:23
  that?
• 10:23
  We've
• 10:23
  had
• 10:24
  many
• 10:24
  of
• 10:24
  you
• 10:24
  have
• 10:24
  been
• 10:25
  principals,
• 10:26
  you
• 10:26
  coach
• 10:26
  principals,
• 10:27
  you
• 10:28
  work
• 10:28
  with
• 10:28
  principals
• 10:29
  and
• 10:29
  teachers.
• 10:30
  You
• 10:30
  know,
• 10:30
  and
• 10:31
  when
• 10:31
  I
• 10:31
  say,
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  know,
• 10:32
  leadership
• 10:33
  can
• 10:33
  be
• 10:34
  teacher
• 10:34
  leaders,
• 10:35
  it
• 10:35
  can
• 10:35
  be
• 10:35
  student
• 10:36
  leaders,
• 10:36
  it
• 10:36
  can
• 10:36
  be
• 10:37
  principal
• 10:37
  leaders,
• 10:37
  the
• 10:38
  leadership
• 10:38
  looks
• 10:39
  a
• 10:39
  lot
• 10:39
  of
• 10:39
  different
• 10:39
  ways
• 10:40
  in
• 10:40
  a
• 10:40
  lot
• 10:40
  of
• 10:40
  different
• 10:41
  parts
• 10:41
  of
• 10:41
  the
• 10:41
  organization.
• 10:43
  But
• 10:43
  what
• 10:43
  does
• 10:44
  it
• 10:44
  look
• 10:44
  like
• 10:44
  when
• 10:44
  leadership
• 10:45
  becomes
• 10:46
  a
• 10:46
  door
• 10:46
  opener?
• 10:47
  I
• 10:47
  think
• 10:47
  it's
• 10:47
  a
• 10:48
  combination
• 10:48
  of
• 10:48
  what
• 10:48
  Rich
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  Dwayne
• 10:49
  just
• 10:50
  said
• 10:50
  in
• 10:51
  terms
• 10:51
  of
• 10:52
  as
• 10:53
  a
• 10:53
  leader,
• 10:54
  I'm
• 10:55
  not
• 10:55
  necessarily
• 10:56
  focused
• 10:57
  on.
• 10:58
  I'm
• 10:58
  focused
• 10:59
  on
• 10:59
  the
• 10:59
  collective.
• 11:00
  But
• 11:00
  it's
• 11:00
  not
• 11:00
  all
• 11:00
  I
• 11:01
  see.
• 11:01
  I'm
• 11:02
  asking
• 11:02
  myself
• 11:03
  questions
• 11:03
  about
• 11:04
  who
• 11:04
  is
• 11:04
  not
• 11:05
  being
• 11:05
  seen,
• 11:06
  heard,
• 11:08
  you
• 11:08
  know,
• 11:08
  valued
• 11:09
  in
• 11:09
  this
• 11:09
  space.
• 11:10
  And
• 11:10
  then
• 11:10
  I'm
• 11:10
  making
• 11:11
  shifts
• 11:11
  and
• 11:12
  adjustments.
• 11:13
  And
• 11:14
  that
• 11:14
  being
• 11:14
  a
• 11:15
  part
• 11:15
  of
• 11:15
  the
• 11:16
  professional
• 11:17
  support
• 11:18
  and
• 11:18
  learning
• 11:18
  that
• 11:19
  is
• 11:19
  happening
• 11:20
  with
• 11:20
  my
• 11:21
  school
• 11:21
  staff,
• 11:22
  that
• 11:22
  it
• 11:23
  becomes
• 11:23
  again
• 11:24
  that
• 11:24
  expectation
• 11:25
  that
• 11:26
  we
• 11:26
  are
• 11:26
  intentionally
• 11:27
  there
• 11:27
  to
• 11:28
  serve
• 11:28
  the
• 11:28
  needs
• 11:28
  of
• 11:29
  students,
• 11:29
  that's
• 11:29
  all
• 11:30
  students.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:31
  that
• 11:31
  we
• 11:31
  are
• 11:31
  really
• 11:32
  looking
• 11:33
  at
• 11:33
  not
• 11:33
  only
• 11:33
  the
• 11:34
  academic,
• 11:34
  but
• 11:34
  the
• 11:35
  social,
• 11:35
  emotional
• 11:36
  welfare
• 11:36
  of
• 11:37
  students
• 11:37
  and
• 11:37
  how
• 11:38
  we
• 11:38
  make
• 11:39
  those
• 11:39
  adjustments
• 11:40
  and
• 11:40
  embed
• 11:40
  those
• 11:40
  supports
• 11:41
  to
• 11:41
  help.
• 11:42
  We've
• 11:42
  been
• 11:42
  saying
• 11:43
  all
• 11:44
  students
• 11:44
  for
• 11:45
  about
• 11:46
  three
• 11:46
  decades
• 11:47
  now.
• 11:48
  Many
• 11:48
  states
• 11:49
  have
• 11:49
  different
• 11:50
  laws
• 11:51
  and
• 11:51
  different,
• 11:52
  you
• 11:52
  know,
• 11:52
  I'm
• 11:52
  thinking
• 11:53
  about
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  requirements
• 11:54
  in
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  state
• 11:55
  that
• 11:55
  I
• 11:55
  live
• 11:55
  in,
• 11:55
  and
• 11:55
  they're
• 11:56
  all
• 11:56
  different
• 11:56
  and
• 11:57
  state
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  state,
• 11:57
  but,
• 11:58
  you
• 11:58
  know,
• 11:58
  everybody
• 11:58
  has
• 11:59
  continuous
• 11:59
  improvement
• 12:00
  plans.
• 12:00
  Everybody
• 12:00
  has
• 12:01
  all
• 12:01
  this
• 12:01
  stuff.
• 12:01
  And
• 12:01
  we
• 12:01
  say
• 12:02
  all
• 12:02
  students
• 12:02
  will,
• 12:03
  all
• 12:03
  students
• 12:03
  will.
• 12:04
  All
• 12:04
  students
• 12:04
  will.
• 12:05
  And
• 12:06
  for
• 12:06
  30
• 12:06
  years,
• 12:06
  we've
• 12:07
  met,
• 12:07
  we've
• 12:07
  really
• 12:08
  only
• 12:08
  met
• 12:08
  some.
• 12:09
  Yeah,
• 12:10
  we're
• 12:10
  going
• 12:10
  to
• 12:10
  say
• 12:10
  all.
• 12:11
  But
• 12:11
  you
• 12:11
  know,
• 12:12
  if
• 12:12
  we,
• 12:12
  if
• 12:12
  we
• 12:13
  increase
• 12:13
  reading
• 12:13
  by
• 12:14
  10%,
• 12:14
  we're
• 12:14
  going
• 12:14
  to
• 12:14
  be
• 12:15
  thrilled,
• 12:15
  really.
• 12:15
  I
• 12:16
  mean,
• 12:16
  you
• 12:16
  know,
• 12:17
  who
• 12:17
  we
• 12:17
  leaving
• 12:17
  in
• 12:18
  the
• 12:18
  dust?
• 12:19
  So
• 12:19
  what
• 12:20
  fundamentally
• 12:22
  has
• 12:22
  to
• 12:23
  shift
• 12:24
  so
• 12:24
  that
• 12:24
  we
• 12:25
  stop
• 12:25
  talking
• 12:26
  about
• 12:26
  all
• 12:27
  until
• 12:27
  we
• 12:27
  really
• 12:28
  mean
• 12:28
  each
• 12:28
  and
• 12:29
  every
• 12:29
  one?
• 12:30
  Well,
• 12:31
  if
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  think
• 12:31
  about
• 12:31
  it,
• 12:31
  when
• 12:32
  we
• 12:32
  look
• 12:32
  in
• 12:32
  classrooms
• 12:33
  or
• 12:34
  when
• 12:34
  we
• 12:34
  look
• 12:34
  at
• 12:35
  leaders,
• 12:35
  it's
• 12:35
  easier
• 12:36
  to
• 12:36
  teach.
• 12:38
  It's
• 12:38
  easier
• 12:39
  to
• 12:39
  teach
• 12:40
  a
• 12:40
  certain
• 12:41
  Right.
• 12:42
  We
• 12:42
  look
• 12:42
  at
• 12:42
  teachers
• 12:43
  who
• 12:43
  teach
• 12:44
  to
• 12:44
  the
• 12:44
  group
• 12:45
  they're
• 12:45
  most
• 12:45
  comfortable
• 12:46
  teaching.
• 12:47
  Right.
• 12:48
  Or
• 12:49
  the
• 12:49
  student
• 12:49
  that
• 12:50
  they
• 12:50
  were.
• 12:51
  It's
• 12:51
  easier
• 12:51
  to
• 12:52
  lead
• 12:52
  the
• 12:52
  teacher
• 12:53
  that
• 12:54
  they,
• 12:55
  the
• 12:56
  principal
• 12:57
  or

  It's

  you

  we

  that

  you

  meeting

• 14:51
  Standards
• 14:52
  are
• 14:52
  important,
• 14:52
  but
• 14:52
  sometimes
• 14:53
  growth

  is

  more

  important

  and

  we

  you

  we

  a

  way

  to

  value

  that

  honor

  that.
• 15:01
  And

  I

  Think
• 15:03
  that's
• 15:03
  an
• 15:03
  important
• 15:04
  connection,
• 15:06
  especially
• 15:06
  to
• 15:06
  what
• 15:07
  Kesha
• 15:07
  just
• 15:07
  said,
• 15:08
  that
• 15:08
  if
• 15:08
  we're
• 15:09
  cultivating
• 15:09
  a
• 15:10
  culture
• 15:11
  where
• 15:11
  growth
• 15:11
  is
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  goal,
• 15:13
  not
• 15:13
  only
• 15:13
  achievement
• 15:14
  and
• 15:15
  reaching
• 15:16
  those
• 15:16
  top
• 15:16
  tiers,
• 15:17
  we
• 15:18
  have
• 15:18
  to
• 15:18
  make
• 15:18
  it
• 15:18
  safe
• 15:19
  spaces.
• 15:20
  We
• 15:20
  can't
• 15:20
  penalize
• 15:21
  teachers
• 15:21
  who
• 15:22
  struggle.
• 15:23
  Right.
• 15:23
  And
• 15:23
  then
• 15:24
  all
• 15:24
  of
• 15:24
  a
• 15:24
  sudden
• 15:24
  they
• 15:25
  become
• 15:25
  ineffective
• 15:25
  and
• 15:26
  we're
• 15:26
  moving
• 15:26
  them
• 15:26
  out
• 15:26
  the

• 15:27
  without

  giving

  them

  the

  right
• 15:29
  supports
• 15:30
  to
• 15:30
  try
• 15:30
  to
• 15:31
  grow
• 15:31
  them
• 15:31
  into
• 15:31
  being
• 15:32
  better
• 15:32
  teachers.
• 15:33
  It's
• 15:33
  the
• 15:33
  same
• 15:34
  thing
• 15:34
  that
• 15:35
  we
• 15:35
  equate
• 15:35
  to
• 15:35
  teachers
• 15:36
  and
• 15:36
  students
• 15:36
  in

• 15:38
  If
• 15:38
  we're
• 15:38
  not
• 15:39
  throwing
• 15:39
  away
• 15:40
  students
• 15:40
  per
• 15:41
  se
• 15:41
  because

  they're

  not

  achieving
• 15:42
  as
• 15:43
  fast
• 15:43
  as
• 15:43
  they
• 15:43
  should,
• 15:44
  shouldn't
• 15:45
  there
• 15:45
  be
• 15:46
  some
• 15:46
  type
• 15:46
  of
• 15:47
  parallel
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  what
• 15:49
  happens
• 15:49
  with

  teachers,
• 15:50
  especially
• 15:51
  new
• 15:51
  teachers
• 15:52
  who
• 15:52
  come
• 15:52
  into
• 15:53
  the
• 15:53
  classroom
• 15:54
  and
• 15:54
  we
• 15:54
  give
• 15:55
  them
• 15:55
  really
• 15:55
  a
• 15:55
  really
• 15:56
  short
• 15:56
  learning
• 15:56
  curve.
• 15:57
  Right.
• 15:57
  We're
• 15:58
  talking
• 15:58
  about,
• 15:58
  you
• 15:59
  got
• 15:59
  a
• 15:59
  year
• 15:59
  or
• 16:00
  two
• 16:01
  to
• 16:01
  be
• 16:01
  what
• 16:02
  we
• 16:02
  consider
• 16:02
  proficient
• 16:03
  in
• 16:03
  the
• 16:03
  classroom.
• 16:04
  And
• 16:04
  when
• 16:04
  they're
• 16:05
  not,
• 16:05
  we're
• 16:05
  looking
• 16:06
  at
• 16:06
  ways
• 16:06
  to
• 16:06
  get
• 16:06
  rid
• 16:07
  of
• 16:07
  them.
• 16:07
  Shavita,
• 16:08
  that's
• 16:08
  the
• 16:08
  same
• 16:09
  for
• 16:09
  leaders.
• 16:10
  You
• 16:11
  know,
• 16:11
  how
• 16:11
  do
• 16:11
  we
• 16:12
  support
• 16:13
  teachers
• 16:14
  if
• 16:14
  those
• 16:14
  leaders
• 16:15
  aren't
• 16:16
  in
• 16:16
  turn
• 16:16
  supported?
• 16:17
  And
• 16:17
  then
• 16:18
  what
• 16:18
  does
• 16:18
  that
• 16:18
  look
• 16:18
  like
• 16:19
  at
• 16:19
  every
• 16:19
  level
• 16:20
  of
• 16:20
  the
• 16:20
  organization?
• 16:22
  And
• 16:22
  then
• 16:22
  going
• 16:23
  back
• 16:23
  to
• 16:24
  Opal,
• 16:25
  mentioning
• 16:25
  that
• 16:26
  it's
• 16:26
  about
• 16:26
  that
• 16:26
  desire
• 16:27
  to
• 16:28
  want
• 16:28
  the
• 16:29
  door
• 16:29
  to
• 16:29
  be
• 16:29
  open.
• 16:30
  So
• 16:31
  coaching
• 16:32
  individuals
• 16:33
  within
• 16:33
  the
• 16:34
  organization
• 16:34
  that
• 16:35
  do
• 16:35
  desire
• 16:36
  that
• 16:36
  can
• 16:36
  admit,
• 16:37
  like
• 16:37
  Dwayne
• 16:38
  mentioned,
• 16:39
  that
• 16:39
  there
• 16:39
  are
• 16:40
  some
• 16:40
  things
• 16:40
  that
• 16:40
  are
• 16:41
  broken.
• 16:41
  So
• 16:42
  all
• 16:43
  layers
• 16:43
  of
• 16:43
  the
• 16:44
  system
• 16:45
  have
• 16:45
  to
• 16:45
  be
• 16:46
  working
• 16:46
  towards
• 16:47
  that.
• 16:48
  Otherwise
• 16:48
  you're.
• 16:49
  You're
• 16:49
  in
• 16:49
  this
• 16:49
  space
• 16:50
  of
• 16:51
  I'm
• 16:51
  going
• 16:51
  to
• 16:51
  do
• 16:52
  what
• 16:52
  I
• 16:52
  do
• 16:52
  within
• 16:52
  my
• 16:53
  classroom.
• 16:54
  And
• 16:54
  then
• 16:54
  going
• 16:55
  back
• 16:55
  to
• 16:55
  what
• 16:55
  Kesha
• 16:56
  said
• 16:56
  about
• 16:56
  this,
• 16:56
  okay,
• 16:57
  as
• 16:57
  a
• 16:57
  society,
• 16:58
  which
• 16:59
  is
• 16:59
  just
• 16:59
  ginormous,
• 17:01
  what
• 17:02
  does
• 17:02
  that
• 17:02
  look
• 17:02
  like
• 17:03
  then?
• 17:03
  To
• 17:03
  ensure
• 17:04
  that
• 17:04
  each
• 17:05
  layer
• 17:05
  of
• 17:05
  the
• 17:06
  organization
• 17:07
  is
• 17:07
  ready
• 17:08
  to
• 17:08
  do
• 17:09
  that
• 17:09
  work.
• 17:10
  That's
• 17:10
  really
• 17:10
  good.
• 17:11
  And
• 17:11
  I
• 17:11
  think
• 17:11
  one
• 17:12
  of
• 17:12
  the
• 17:12
  things
• 17:12
  I
• 17:12
  was
• 17:12
  also
• 17:14
  just
• 17:14
  thinking
• 17:14
  about
• 17:15
  is
• 17:15
  I
• 17:15
  think
• 17:15
  we
• 17:15
  also
• 17:16
  have
• 17:16
  to.
• 17:16
  Thinking
• 17:17
  about
• 17:17
  the
• 17:17
  mind
• 17:17
  shift
• 17:18
  is
• 17:18
  stop
• 17:19
  treating
• 17:19
  the
• 17:19
  conditions
• 17:20
  that
• 17:20
  some
• 17:20
  of
• 17:20
  our
• 17:20
  kids
• 17:21
  go
• 17:21
  through
• 17:21
  like
• 17:21
  a
• 17:21
  death
• 17:21
  sentence.
• 17:23
  I
• 17:23
  think
• 17:23
  we
• 17:23
  have
• 17:23
  to
• 17:23
  stop
• 17:24
  writing
• 17:24
  kids
• 17:24
  off,
• 17:25
  which
• 17:25
  is
• 17:25
  sometimes
• 17:26
  real
• 17:26
  easy,
• 17:26
  that
• 17:26
  we
• 17:27
  tend
• 17:27
  to
• 17:27
  do
• 17:27
  that.
• 17:28
  We
• 17:28
  take
• 17:28
  a
• 17:28
  look
• 17:28
  at
• 17:29
  where
• 17:29
  we
• 17:29
  perceive
• 17:30
  that
• 17:30
  they
• 17:30
  come
• 17:30
  from,
• 17:31
  and
• 17:32
  it
• 17:32
  affects
• 17:32
  how
• 17:32
  we
• 17:33
  interact
• 17:33
  with
• 17:33
  them
• 17:33
  every
• 17:34
  single
• 17:34
  day.
• 17:34
  And
• 17:34
  I
• 17:34
  think
• 17:35
  part
• 17:35
  of
• 17:35
  what
• 17:35
  systems
• 17:36
  have
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  do
• 17:36
  with
• 17:37
  is
• 17:37
  really
• 17:37
  drill
• 17:38
  down
• 17:38
  in
• 17:38
  the
• 17:39
  appropriate
• 17:39
  mindset
• 17:41
  of
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  people
• 17:41
  that
• 17:42
  we
• 17:42
  put
• 17:42
  in
• 17:42
  front
• 17:42
  of
• 17:43
  our
• 17:43
  kids
• 17:43
  every
• 17:43
  single
• 17:44
  day.
• 17:45
  Because
• 17:45
  you
• 17:45
  hear
• 17:46
  kids
• 17:46
  talk
• 17:46
  about
• 17:46
  adults
• 17:47
  that
• 17:47
  don't
• 17:47
  understand
• 17:48
  and
• 17:49
  some
• 17:49
  things
• 17:49
  like
• 17:49
  that.
• 17:49
  And
• 17:50
  I
• 17:50
  think
• 17:50
  in
• 17:50
  order
• 17:50
  to
• 17:50
  teach
• 17:51
  kids,
• 17:51
  you
• 17:51
  have
• 17:51
  to
• 17:51
  know
• 17:52
  them
• 17:52
  and
• 17:53
  so
• 17:53
  we
• 17:53
  have
• 17:53
  to
• 17:53
  really
• 17:54
  double
• 17:54
  down
• 17:54
  on
• 17:55
  getting
• 17:55
  to
• 17:55
  know
• 17:56
  who
• 17:56
  they
• 17:56
  are
• 17:57
  and
• 17:57
  some
• 17:58
  of
• 17:58
  the
• 17:58
  real
• 17:58
  things
• 17:59
  that
• 17:59
  they
• 17:59
  go
• 17:59
  through
• 17:59
  in
• 18:00
  our
• 18:00
  systems
• 18:01
  in
• 18:01
  order
• 18:01
  to
• 18:01
  reach
• 18:01
  them,
• 18:01
  in
• 18:02
  order
• 18:02
  to
• 18:02
  do
• 18:02
  better
• 18:02
  for
• 18:02
  them.
• 18:03
  I
• 18:03
  want
• 18:04
  to
• 18:04
  dovetail
• 18:04
  on
• 18:05
  that
• 18:05
  Dr.
• 18:05
  Shisum
• 18:08
  Grant
• 18:09
  in
• 18:10
  powerful
• 18:10
  student
• 18:10
  care.
• 18:11
  One
• 18:11
  of
• 18:12
  the
• 18:12
  early
• 18:14
  challenges
• 18:15
  you
• 18:15
  make
• 18:15
  to
• 18:15
  readers
• 18:16
  is
• 18:17
  to
• 18:17
  understand
• 18:17
  the
• 18:17
  difference
• 18:18
  between
• 18:18
  all
• 18:19
  and
• 18:19
  each.
• 18:20
  And
• 18:20
  when
• 18:21
  we
• 18:21
  think
• 18:21
  about
• 18:21
  the
• 18:21
  shift.
• 18:22
  What
• 18:23
  I
• 18:23
  hear
• 18:24
  in
• 18:25
  your
• 18:26
  call
• 18:26
  to
• 18:26
  action,
• 18:27
  Dr.
• 18:27
  Chisholm,
• 18:28
  is
• 18:28
  to
• 18:28
  talk
• 18:29
  and
• 18:29
  to
• 18:29
  think
• 18:30
  about
• 18:30
  each
• 18:31
  other
• 18:31
  student,
• 18:31
  and
• 18:32
  to
• 18:32
  understand
• 18:33
  how
• 18:33
  the
• 18:33
  learner
• 18:34
  learns.
• 18:35
  And
• 18:36
  a
• 18:36
  lot
• 18:36
  of
• 18:36
  the
• 18:36
  work
• 18:37
  we
• 18:37
  spend
• 18:38
  our
• 18:38
  energies
• 18:39
  as
• 18:39
  educational
• 18:40
  leaders
• 18:42
  on
• 18:43
  is
• 18:44
  instructional
• 18:45
  for
• 18:45
  good
• 18:45
  reason.
• 18:46
  What
• 18:46
  are
• 18:46
  the
• 18:46
  instructional
• 18:47
  moves
• 18:47
  that
• 18:48
  are
• 18:48
  going
• 18:48
  to
• 18:48
  produce
• 18:49
  learning
• 18:49
  results?
• 18:50
  But
• 18:50
  ultimately
• 18:51
  we
• 18:52
  have
• 18:52
  to
• 18:52
  get
• 18:52
  close
• 18:53
  to
• 18:54
  each
• 18:54
  learner
• 18:55
  to
• 18:55
  understand
• 18:55
  these
• 18:56
  aren't
• 18:56
  empty
• 18:57
  vessels
• 18:57
  who
• 18:57
  are
• 18:58
  coming
• 18:58
  into
• 18:58
  our
• 18:59
  space
• 18:59
  and
• 18:59
  sharing
• 19:00
  learning
• 19:00
  with
• 19:00
  us.
• 19:01
  These
• 19:01
  are
• 19:01
  human
• 19:02
  beings
• 19:02
  rich
• 19:02
  with
• 19:03
  experience.
• 19:04
  And
• 19:05
  how
• 19:05
  do
• 19:05
  we
• 19:06
  understand
• 19:06
  how
• 19:07
  this
• 19:07
  learner
• 19:08
  learns?
• 19:08
  How
• 19:09
  do
• 19:09
  we
• 19:09
  help
• 19:09
  that
• 19:10
  learner
• 19:10
  develop
• 19:10
  the
• 19:11
  vocabulary
• 19:11
  so
• 19:12
  she
• 19:12
  begins
• 19:13
  to
• 19:13
  understand
• 19:14
  how
• 19:14
  she
• 19:14
  learns
• 19:15
  what
• 19:15
  she
• 19:15
  needs
• 19:15
  to
• 19:16
  learn?
• 19:17
  That
• 19:17
  shift
• 19:18
  to
• 19:18
  me
• 19:18
  is
• 19:19
  what
• 19:19
  is
• 19:19
  so
• 19:19
  exciting
• 19:20
  and
• 19:20
  powerful
• 19:21
  about
• 19:21
  working
• 19:21
  with
• 19:22
  teachers,
• 19:23
  because
• 19:24
  when
• 19:24
  we
• 19:24
  put
• 19:24
  our
• 19:25
  focus
• 19:25
  there,
• 19:26
  it
• 19:26
  seems
• 19:27
  to
• 19:27
  then
• 19:28
  release
• 19:29
  intense
• 19:29
  amounts
• 19:30
  of
• 19:31
  highly
• 19:31
  productive
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  useful
• 19:33
  information
• 19:34
  that
• 19:34
  builds
• 19:34
  upon
• 19:35
  what
• 19:35
  that
• 19:35
  learner
• 19:36
  is
• 19:36
  already
• 19:36
  carrying.
• 19:38
  And
• 19:38
  that
• 19:39
  requires
• 19:39
  a
• 19:40
  lot
• 19:40
  of
• 19:40
  work
• 19:41
  on
• 19:41
  the
• 19:41
  part
• 19:41
  of
• 19:41
  the
• 19:41
  practitioner
• 19:42
  going
• 19:42
  forward,
• 19:43
  because
• 19:44
  you
• 19:44
  may
• 19:44
  begin
• 19:44
  to
• 19:44
  understand
• 19:45
  some
• 19:45
  things,
• 19:46
  but
• 19:46
  you
• 19:46
  don't
• 19:47
  know
• 19:47
  them
• 19:47
  the
• 19:47
  way
• 19:47
  you'll
• 19:48
  need
• 19:48
  to.
• 19:48
  And
• 19:49
  that's
• 19:49
  the
• 19:49
  journey
• 19:49
  that
• 19:50
  I'm
• 19:50
  hearing.
• 19:51
  Over
• 19:51
  the
• 19:51
  past
• 19:52
  30
• 19:52
  years,
• 19:53
  I've
• 19:53
  been
• 19:54
  grappling
• 19:54
  this
• 19:55
  definition
• 19:55
  of
• 19:56
  all.
• 19:56
  And
• 19:57
  all
• 19:57
  is
• 19:57
  not
• 19:58
  universally
• 19:59
  defined,
• 20:00
  unfortunately,
• 20:01
  in
• 20:01
  several
• 20:02
  cases
• 20:03
  in
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  educational
• 20:04
  spaces
• 20:05
  that
• 20:05
  I've
• 20:05
  occupied,
• 20:06
  that
• 20:07
  all
• 20:07
  has
• 20:07
  been
• 20:07
  subjective.
• 20:08
  So
• 20:08
  as
• 20:09
  we
• 20:09
  look
• 20:10
  at
• 20:10
  the
• 20:11
  definition
• 20:11
  and
• 20:12
  common
• 20:12
  language
• 20:14
  and
• 20:14
  how
• 20:14
  we
• 20:14
  language
• 20:15
  together
• 20:15
  through
• 20:16
  communicative
• 20:17
  action,
• 20:18
  how
• 20:18
  do
• 20:18
  we
• 20:19
  develop
• 20:19
  common
• 20:20
  understanding
• 20:21
  words
• 20:22
  like
• 20:22
  all,
• 20:23
  each
• 20:25
  and
• 20:25
  every,
• 20:26
  so
• 20:26
  that
• 20:27
  we
• 20:27
  really
• 20:28
  are
• 20:28
  intentional,
• 20:29
  as
• 20:29
  Dr.
• 20:30
  West
• 20:30
  mentioned
• 20:31
  about
• 20:32
  our
• 20:32
  work,
• 20:33
  about
• 20:33
  our
• 20:34
  expectations,
• 20:35
  about
• 20:35
  our
• 20:36
  goals,
• 20:36
  and
• 20:37
  about
• 20:37
  student
• 20:37
  success.
• 20:38
  I
• 20:39
  think
• 20:39
  dovetailing
• 20:40
  on
• 20:41
  Mike
• 20:41
  And
• 20:42
  Alicia
• 20:43
  and
• 20:43
  Dr.
• 20:43
  Chisholm
• 20:44
  just
• 20:44
  said,
• 20:45
  when
• 20:45
  I
• 20:45
  look
• 20:45
  at
• 20:45
  districts,
• 20:46
  school
• 20:47
  districts
• 20:47
  in
• 20:47
  the
• 20:48
  area
• 20:48
  that
• 20:48
  are
• 20:48
  on
• 20:49
  the
• 20:49
  in
• 20:50
  need
• 20:50
  of
• 20:50
  help
• 20:50
  list,
• 20:51
  typically
• 20:51
  there
• 20:51
  are
• 20:52
  schools
• 20:52
  at
• 20:52
  the
• 20:52
  elementary
• 20:53
  and
• 20:53
  the
• 20:53
  test
• 20:53
  scores
• 20:54
  aren't
• 20:54
  that
• 20:54
  bad.
• 20:54
  They're
• 20:55
  doing
• 20:55
  okay
• 20:55
  because
• 20:56
  the
• 20:56
  student
• 20:56
  is
• 20:57
  with
• 20:57
  that
• 20:57
  teacher
• 20:57
  all
• 20:58
  day
• 20:58
  long.
• 20:58
  And
• 20:59
  even
• 20:59
  if
• 20:59
  he
• 20:59
  or
• 20:59
  she
• 21:00
  sees
• 21:01
  it
• 21:01
  like
• 21:01
  little
• 21:01
  Mikey,
• 21:01
  Pipa
• 21:02
  is
• 21:02
  not
• 21:02
  great
• 21:02
  at
• 21:03
  math,
• 21:03
  but
• 21:03
  boy,
• 21:03
  we
• 21:03
  get
• 21:03
  to
• 21:04
  English,
• 21:04
  he's
• 21:04
  got
• 21:04
  that,
• 21:05
  and
• 21:05
  we
• 21:05
  start
• 21:05
  to
• 21:06
  see
• 21:06
  not
• 21:06
  just
• 21:06
  the
• 21:06
  deficits,
• 21:07
  but
• 21:07
  the
• 21:07
  strengths.
• 21:08
  And
• 21:08
  I
• 21:08
  think
• 21:09
  when
• 21:09
  we
• 21:09
  get
• 21:09
  to
• 21:09
  know
• 21:09
  our
• 21:10
  kids.
• 21:10
  When
• 21:10
  we
• 21:10
  have
• 21:10
  kids
• 21:11
  for
• 21:11
  that
• 21:11
  big
• 21:11
  block
• 21:11
  of
• 21:11
  time
• 21:12
  we
• 21:12
  know
• 21:12
  them,
• 21:13
  it's
• 21:13
  easier
• 21:13
  to
• 21:14
  tap
• 21:14
  in
• 21:14
  regardless
• 21:15
  of
• 21:15
  the
• 21:15
  life
• 21:16
  circumstances
• 21:16
  and
• 21:17
  the
• 21:17
  baggage
• 21:17
  they
• 21:17
  come
• 21:17
  in.
• 21:18
  I
• 21:18
  think
• 21:18
  at
• 21:18
  the
• 21:18
  secondary
• 21:19
  level,
• 21:20
  for
• 21:20
  those
• 21:20
  of
• 21:20
  us
• 21:20
  to
• 21:20
  see
• 21:20
  150
• 21:21
  kids
• 21:21
  a
• 21:22
  day,
• 21:22
  one
• 21:23
  of
• 21:23
  the
• 21:23
  systemic
• 21:23
  changes
• 21:24
  we
• 21:24
  have
• 21:24
  to
• 21:24
  look
• 21:24
  at
• 21:24
  is
• 21:25
  say,
• 21:25
  how
• 21:26
  do
• 21:26
  we
• 21:26
  allow
• 21:27
  those
• 21:27
  teachers
• 21:28
  the
• 21:28
  time
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  get
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  know?
• 21:30
  Do
• 21:30
  we
• 21:30
  do
• 21:30
  looping
• 21:31
  classrooms
• 21:31
  at
• 21:31
  secondary?
• 21:32
  Do
• 21:32
  we
• 21:32
  reduce
• 21:32
  the
• 21:33
  class
• 21:33
  load?
• 21:33
  Do
• 21:33
  we
• 21:33
  have
• 21:34
  another
• 21:34
  adult
• 21:34
  in
• 21:34
  the
• 21:35
  room?
• 21:35
  And
• 21:35
  some
• 21:36
  of
• 21:36
  those
• 21:36
  things
• 21:36
  that
• 21:36
  will
• 21:37
  give
• 21:37
  the
• 21:37
  beleaguered
• 21:38
  10th
• 21:38
  grade
• 21:38
  English
• 21:39
  teacher
• 21:39
  bringing
• 21:40
  home
• 21:40
  125
• 21:41
  essays
• 21:41
  that
• 21:42
  she
• 21:42
  or
• 21:42
  he
• 21:43
  can
• 21:43
  have
• 21:44
  the
• 21:44
  time
• 21:44
  on
• 21:44
  top
• 21:44
  of
• 21:44
  that
• 21:45
  to
• 21:45
  try
• 21:46
  to
• 21:46
  drill
• 21:46
  down,
• 21:46
  which
• 21:47
  is
• 21:47
  an
• 21:47
  essential
• 21:47
  part
• 21:47
  of
• 21:48
  teaching.
• 21:48
  And
• 21:48
  I
• 21:49
  don't
• 21:49
  want
• 21:49
  to
• 21:49
  make
• 21:49
  an
• 21:49
  excuse,
• 21:50
  but
• 21:50
  when
• 21:50
  you
• 21:50
  have
• 21:50
  125
• 21:51
  kids
• 21:51
  in
• 21:51
  a
• 21:52
  day,
• 21:52
  it's
• 21:52
  a
• 21:52
  very
• 21:52
  different
• 21:52
  thing
• 21:53
  than
• 21:53
  when
• 21:53
  you're
• 21:54
  with
• 21:54
  22
• 21:54
  kids
• 21:54
  all
• 21:55
  day
• 21:55
  long.
• 21:56
  So
• 21:56
  we
• 21:56
  really
• 21:56
  have
• 21:56
  to
• 21:56
  look
• 21:57
  at,
• 21:57
  when
• 21:57
  we
• 21:57
  look
• 21:57
  at
• 21:57
  the
• 21:57
  discomfort
• 21:58
  that
• 21:59
  Kesha
• 21:59
  was
• 22:00
  talking
• 22:00
  about,
• 22:00
  we
• 22:00
  have
• 22:01
  to
• 22:01
  look
• 22:01
  at
• 22:02
  that
• 22:02
  level
• 22:02
  of
• 22:02
  discomfort
• 22:04
  systemically
• 22:05
  as
• 22:06
  well
• 22:06
  as
• 22:08
  individually,
• 22:09
  because
• 22:09
  our
• 22:10
  system,
• 22:11
  none
• 22:11
  of
• 22:11
  us
• 22:11
  are
• 22:12
  old
• 22:12
  enough
• 22:12
  to
• 22:12
  have
• 22:12
  created
• 22:13
  it.
• 22:13
  Right.
• 22:14
  Our
• 22:14
  system
• 22:15
  is.
• 22:16
  There
• 22:16
  are
• 22:17
  lots
• 22:17
  of
• 22:17
  flaws
• 22:17
  in
• 22:18
  that
• 22:18
  system.
• 22:19
  And
• 22:19
  if
• 22:19
  we're
• 22:19
  really
• 22:20
  going
• 22:20
  to
• 22:20
  be
• 22:21
  successful
• 22:22
  at
• 22:22
  this
• 22:23
  mission,
• 22:23
  we've
• 22:24
  really
• 22:24
  got
• 22:24
  to
• 22:24
  really
• 22:24
  think,
• 22:25
  rethink,
• 22:26
  right?
• 22:26
  Rethink
• 22:27
  what
• 22:27
  this
• 22:28
  really
• 22:28
  looks
• 22:28
  like.
• 22:29
  Can
• 22:29
  I
• 22:29
  add
• 22:29
  a
• 22:30
  thread
• 22:30
  there?
• 22:31
  Yes.
• 22:31
  And
• 22:31
  not
• 22:32
  to
• 22:32
  let
• 22:32
  it
• 22:33
  go.
• 22:34
  I
• 22:34
  do
• 22:34
  get
• 22:34
  that
• 22:35
  there
• 22:35
  is
• 22:35
  a
• 22:35
  fundamental
• 22:36
  difference
• 22:36
  between
• 22:38
  having
• 22:38
  a
• 22:39
  small
• 22:39
  group
• 22:39
  of
• 22:39
  students
• 22:40
  as
• 22:41
  opposed
• 22:41
  to
• 22:41
  the
• 22:41
  rotation
• 22:42
  of
• 22:42
  many
• 22:42
  students.
• 22:43
  What
• 22:43
  I
• 22:43
  think
• 22:44
  becomes
• 22:46
  a
• 22:46
  common
• 22:46
  thread
• 22:47
  is
• 22:47
  relationship
• 22:48
  and
• 22:48
  connection
• 22:50
  that
• 22:50
  you
• 22:51
  don't
• 22:51
  necessarily
• 22:53
  have
• 22:53
  to
• 22:55
  from
• 22:56
  an
• 22:56
  academic
• 22:56
  lens.
• 22:57
  In
• 22:58
  terms
• 22:58
  of
• 22:58
  how
• 22:59
  well
• 22:59
  I
• 22:59
  can
• 23:00
  differentiate
• 23:01
  and
• 23:01
  support
• 23:02
  125
• 23:03
  students,
• 23:04
  as
• 23:04
  well
• 23:05
  as
• 23:05
  how
• 23:05
  can
• 23:05
  I
• 23:05
  connect
• 23:06
  with
• 23:06
  125
• 23:07
  students
• 23:08
  to
• 23:08
  understand
• 23:09
  that
• 23:09
  in
• 23:09
  certain
• 23:10
  spaces
• 23:11
  kids
• 23:11
  don't
• 23:11
  regulate.
• 23:12
  Well,
• 23:12
  you
• 23:13
  know,
• 23:13
  sensory
• 23:13
  learning
• 23:14
  is
• 23:14
  kind
• 23:14
  of
• 23:14
  my
• 23:15
  jam,
• 23:15
  what
• 23:15
  I'm
• 23:16
  passionate
• 23:16
  about,
• 23:17
  and
• 23:17
  that
• 23:17
  if
• 23:18
  I
• 23:18
  don't
• 23:18
  know
• 23:19
  that
• 23:20
  certain
• 23:21
  spaces
• 23:21
  dysregulate
• 23:22
  you,
• 23:23
  then
• 23:23
  it
• 23:24
  is
• 23:24
  hard
• 23:24
  for
• 23:24
  me
• 23:25
  to
• 23:25
  even
• 23:25
  tap
• 23:25
  into
• 23:26
  your
• 23:26
  academic
• 23:27
  potential.
• 23:27
  Because
• 23:28
  you're
• 23:28
  not
• 23:29
  comfortable
• 23:29
  in
• 23:30
  this
• 23:30
  space.
• 23:30
  You're
• 23:31
  not
• 23:31
  able
• 23:31
  to,
• 23:32
  to
• 23:32
  even
• 23:34
  discriminate
• 23:35
  in
• 23:35
  certain
• 23:36
  things
• 23:36
  in
• 23:36
  this
• 23:36
  space
• 23:37
  in
• 23:38
  order
• 23:38
  to
• 23:38
  really
• 23:39
  open
• 23:39
  up
• 23:39
  the
• 23:39
  door
• 23:40
  to
• 23:40
  learning.
• 23:41
  And
• 23:41
  so
• 23:41
  I
• 23:42
  do
• 23:42
  think
• 23:42
  it's
• 23:42
  important
• 23:43
  that
• 23:43
  from
• 23:44
  a
• 23:44
  getting
• 23:44
  to
• 23:44
  know
• 23:44
  you
• 23:45
  standpoint,
• 23:46
  I
• 23:46
  may
• 23:46
  not
• 23:46
  know
• 23:47
  everything
• 23:47
  about
• 23:47
  you,
• 23:47
  but
• 23:48
  I
• 23:48
  do
• 23:48
  need
• 23:48
  to
• 23:48
  know
• 23:49
  some
• 23:49
  key
• 23:49
  things
• 23:50
  about
• 23:50
  you.
• 23:51
  And
• 23:51
  that's
• 23:51
  intentional
• 23:52
  work
• 23:52
  for
• 23:52
  every
• 23:52
  teacher.
• 23:53
  Whether
• 23:53
  they
• 23:54
  have
• 23:54
  25
• 23:55
  or
• 23:55
  they
• 23:55
  have
• 23:55
  125.
• 23:57
  Absolutely.
• 23:58
  So
• 23:58
  as
• 23:59
  we
• 23:59
  prepare
• 24:00
  to
• 24:00
  wrap
• 24:00
  up
• 24:00
  this
• 24:01
  particular
• 24:02
  episode
• 24:02
  and
• 24:02
  get
• 24:03
  ready
• 24:03
  to
• 24:03
  move
• 24:03
  to
• 24:03
  the
• 24:04
  next
• 24:04
  one,
• 24:04
  my
• 24:05
  question
• 24:05
  is,
• 24:05
  as
• 24:06
  we
• 24:06
  take
• 24:06
  all
• 24:06
  of
• 24:07
  this
• 24:07
  great
• 24:08
  conversation,
• 24:09
  how
• 24:10
  do
• 24:10
  we
• 24:10
  move
• 24:10
  beyond
• 24:11
  simply
• 24:13
  managing
• 24:13
  this
• 24:14
  system
• 24:14
  and
• 24:15
  truly
• 24:15
  transforming
• 24:16
  it?
• 24:16
  What
• 24:16
  do
• 24:16
  we
• 24:17
  need
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  do
• 24:17
  to
• 24:17
  truly
• 24:18
  transform
• 24:19
  this
• 24:20
  system?
• 24:20
  And
• 24:20
  I
• 24:20
  want
• 24:20
  to
• 24:21
  start
• 24:21
  with
• 24:22
  the
• 24:22
  inaugural
• 24:23
  award
• 24:23
  winner
• 24:24
  of
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  ISTIA
• 24:25
  ASCD
• 24:26
  Transformational
• 24:27
  Leader
• 24:27
  Award
• 24:28
  winner.
• 24:29
  Right.
• 24:29
  Terry
• 24:30
  Perez.
• 24:31
  What
• 24:31
  do
• 24:31
  we
• 24:31
  do?
• 24:32
  How
• 24:33
  do
• 24:33
  we
• 24:33
  transform
• 24:33
  it?
• 24:34
  Well,
• 24:35
  I
• 24:35
  think
• 24:35
  we
• 24:35
  really
• 24:35
  have
• 24:35
  to
• 24:35
  focus
• 24:36
  on
• 24:36
  the
• 24:37
  culture
• 24:38
  of
• 24:38
  the
• 24:39
  organization
• 24:39
  within
• 24:40
  that
• 24:40
  system.
• 24:40
  Right.
• 24:41
  It's
• 24:42
  to
• 24:42
  what
• 24:43
  Alicia
• 24:43
  said,
• 24:44
  that
• 24:44
  collective
• 24:44
  action
• 24:45
  that
• 24:45
  we've
• 24:45
  got
• 24:46
  to
• 24:47
  move
• 24:47
  towards.
• 24:48
  And
• 24:48
  it
• 24:48
  really
• 24:49
  happens
• 24:49
  with
• 24:50
  exactly
• 24:50
  what
• 24:51
  everybody's
• 24:51
  been
• 24:51
  saying,
• 24:52
  those
• 24:52
  connections
• 24:52
  that
• 24:52
  we
• 24:53
  make
• 24:53
  with
• 24:53
  students,
• 24:54
  but
• 24:54
  we
• 24:54
  have
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  make
• 24:54
  them
• 24:55
  with
• 24:55
  the
• 24:55
  adults
• 24:55
  who
• 24:56
  are
• 24:56
  doing
• 24:57
  the
• 24:57
  work.
• 24:58
  You
• 24:58
  know,
• 24:58
  when
• 24:58
  we
• 24:59
  expect
• 24:59
  adults
• 24:59
  to
• 24:59
  connect
• 25:00
  with
• 25:00
  students,
• 25:00
  we
• 25:00
  need
• 25:00
  to
• 25:00
  be
• 25:00
  able
• 25:01
  to
• 25:01
  connect
• 25:01
  with
• 25:01
  the
• 25:01
  adults
• 25:02
  as
• 25:02
  well.
• 25:02
  And
• 25:03
  so
• 25:03
  at
• 25:03
  an
• 25:03
  organizational
• 25:05
  level,
• 25:05
  it's
• 25:06
  about
• 25:06
  having
• 25:06
  a
• 25:07
  mindset
• 25:08
  shift,
• 25:08
  right?
• 25:09
  This
• 25:09
  paradigm
• 25:09
  shift
• 25:10
  that
• 25:10
  people
• 25:10
  are
• 25:11
  important.
• 25:12
  Yes.
• 25:12
  The
• 25:12
  processes,
• 25:13
  the
• 25:13
  accountability,
• 25:14
  that
• 25:14
  all
• 25:15
  is
• 25:16
  extremely
• 25:17
  elevated.
• 25:18
  However,
• 25:19
  the
• 25:19
  very
• 25:19
  first
• 25:20
  step
• 25:20
  is
• 25:21
  how
• 25:21
  do
• 25:21
  you
• 25:21
  create
• 25:22
  an
• 25:22
  organizational
• 25:22
  culture
• 25:23
  that
• 25:24
  has
• 25:24
  the
• 25:24
  same
• 25:25
  collective
• 25:26
  vision,
• 25:27
  the
• 25:27
  same
• 25:27
  shared
• 25:28
  vision,
• 25:28
  and
• 25:29
  that
• 25:30
  you
• 25:30
  make
• 25:30
  that
• 25:31
  vision
• 25:31
  be.
• 25:32
  How
• 25:32
  do
• 25:32
  we
• 25:32
  reach
• 25:33
  each
• 25:33
  and
• 25:34
  every
• 25:35
  so
• 25:35
  that
• 25:35
  we
• 25:35
  can
• 25:35
  get
• 25:36
  all.
• 25:37
  Every
• 25:37
  school
• 25:37
  has
• 25:38
  some
• 25:38
  really
• 25:38
  great
• 25:38
  teachers
• 25:39
  in
• 25:39
  it.
• 25:39
  I
• 25:39
  think
• 25:39
  what
• 25:39
  we're
• 25:40
  not
• 25:40
  great
• 25:40
  at
• 25:40
  systemically
• 25:41
  is
• 25:41
  scaling
• 25:42
  that
• 25:42
  up.
• 25:43
  So
• 25:43
  if
• 25:43
  you
• 25:43
  go
• 25:43
  to
• 25:44
  a
• 25:44
  particular
• 25:44
  school
• 25:44
  and,
• 25:45
  you
• 25:45
  know,
• 25:45
  this
• 25:46
  Mr.
• 25:47
  Pipa's
• 25:47
  English
• 25:47
  class
• 25:48
  kids
• 25:48
  are
• 25:48
  clamoring
• 25:49
  to
• 25:49
  get
• 25:49
  in,
• 25:50
  how
• 25:50
  do
• 25:50
  we
• 25:50
  take
• 25:50
  Mike's
• 25:51
  genius
• 25:52
  and
• 25:52
  then
• 25:52
  share
• 25:53
  it
• 25:53
  in
• 25:53
  a
• 25:53
  way
• 25:54
  that,
• 25:55
  you
• 25:55
  know,
• 25:55
  I
• 25:55
  teach
• 25:55
  in
• 25:55
  the
• 25:55
  room
• 25:56
  next
• 25:56
  to
• 25:56
  him
• 25:56
  for
• 25:56
  30
• 25:56
  years
• 25:57
  and
• 25:57
  we
• 25:57
  say
• 25:57
  hi
• 25:57
  at
• 25:57
  lunch,
• 25:58
  but
• 25:58
  I
• 25:58
  never
• 25:58
  actually
• 25:58
  watch
• 25:59
  him
• 25:59
  teach.
• 25:59
  And
• 26:00
  so
• 26:00
  I
• 26:00
  think
• 26:00
  systemically,
• 26:01
  that's
• 26:01
  one
• 26:01
  step
• 26:02
  is
• 26:02
  scaling
• 26:03
  up
• 26:03
  the
• 26:03
  gifted
• 26:03
  people
• 26:04
  that
• 26:04
  we
• 26:04
  have
• 26:04
  so
• 26:05
  that
• 26:05
  we
• 26:05
  can
• 26:05
  all
• 26:05
  kind
• 26:06
  of
• 26:06
  learn
• 26:06
  from
• 26:06
  each
• 26:06
  other.
• 26:07
  Yeah.
• 26:07
  I
• 26:07
  think
• 26:08
  it's
• 26:08
  about,
• 26:08
  you
• 26:09
  know,
• 26:09
  tearing
• 26:09
  down
• 26:09
  the
• 26:09
  walls
• 26:10
  and
• 26:10
  stop
• 26:10
  being
• 26:10
  competitive
• 26:11
  with
• 26:11
  each
• 26:11
  other.
• 26:12
  And
• 26:12
  you
• 26:12
  said
• 26:12
  the
• 26:12
  right
• 26:13
  word,
• 26:13
  share.
• 26:14
  Right.
• 26:15
  That
• 26:15
  these.
• 26:16
  That
• 26:16
  this
• 26:16
  knowledge
• 26:17
  and
• 26:17
  how
• 26:17
  Mike
• 26:18
  does
• 26:18
  his
• 26:19
  English
• 26:19
  class
• 26:20
  is
• 26:20
  valuable
• 26:21
  and
• 26:21
  it
• 26:22
  should
• 26:22
  be
• 26:22
  shared,
• 26:22
  and
• 26:23
  it
• 26:23
  can't
• 26:23
  be
• 26:23
  kept
• 26:24
  just
• 26:24
  within
• 26:24
  his
• 26:25
  four
• 26:25
  walls.
• 26:26
  Right.
• 26:26
  And
• 26:27
  how
• 26:27
  do
• 26:27
  we,
• 26:28
  at
• 26:28
  the
• 26:28
  building
• 26:29
  level,
• 26:29
  at
• 26:29
  the
• 26:30
  organization
• 26:30
  level,
• 26:31
  honor,
• 26:32
  you
• 26:32
  know,
• 26:32
  the
• 26:33
  work
• 26:33
  that
• 26:33
  he
• 26:33
  does
• 26:34
  and
• 26:34
  elevate
• 26:34
  him
• 26:35
  to
• 26:35
  the.
• 26:35
  To
• 26:35
  the
• 26:36
  point
• 26:36
  where
• 26:36
  he
• 26:36
  feels
• 26:36
  comfortable
• 26:38
  sharing
• 26:38
  with
• 26:39
  his
• 26:39
  colleagues?
• 26:40
  I
• 26:40
  was
• 26:40
  just
• 26:40
  going
• 26:40
  to
• 26:41
  say,
• 26:41
  as
• 26:41
  I'm
• 26:41
  thinking
• 26:41
  about
• 26:42
  what
• 26:42
  everyone
• 26:42
  is
• 26:42
  saying
• 26:43
  now,
• 26:44
  that
• 26:44
  whole
• 26:45
  idea
• 26:45
  of
• 26:46
  with
• 26:46
  leadership.
• 26:47
  I
• 26:47
  can
• 26:47
  remember
• 26:48
  getting
• 26:48
  this
• 26:49
  set
• 26:49
  of
• 26:49
  keys
• 26:50
  when
• 26:50
  I
• 26:50
  first
• 26:50
  got
• 26:51
  my
• 26:51
  job
• 26:51
  back
• 26:51
  in
• 26:51
  the
• 26:52
  90s.
• 26:53
  And
• 26:53
  I'm
• 26:54
  like,
• 26:54
  okay,
• 26:54
  so
• 26:54
  what
• 26:54
  am
• 26:55
  I
• 26:55
  doing
• 26:55
  with
• 26:55
  all
• 26:55
  of
• 26:55
  them?
• 26:55
  They're
• 26:56
  like
• 26:56
  100
• 26:56
  keys,
• 26:57
  no
• 26:57
  exaggeration,
• 26:59
  and
• 26:59
  you
• 26:59
  never
• 27:00
  know
• 27:00
  what
• 27:00
  door
• 27:00
  they
• 27:00
  open.
• 27:01
  And
• 27:02
  so
• 27:02
  I
• 27:02
  realized
• 27:03
  that
• 27:03
  it
• 27:03
  wasn't
• 27:04
  for
• 27:04
  me
• 27:04
  to
• 27:04
  figure
• 27:04
  out
• 27:05
  every
• 27:05
  key,
• 27:05
  but
• 27:06
  to
• 27:06
  share
• 27:06
  those
• 27:07
  keys
• 27:07
  so
• 27:08
  we
• 27:08
  could
• 27:08
  then
• 27:08
  figure
• 27:09
  out
• 27:09
  what
• 27:09
  they
• 27:09
  open.
• 27:10
  And
• 27:10
  so
• 27:11
  with
• 27:11
  that,
• 27:12
  that's
• 27:12
  what
• 27:13
  has
• 27:13
  to
• 27:13
  happen.
• 27:14
  We
• 27:14
  have
• 27:14
  to.
• 27:15
  You
• 27:15
  know,
• 27:15
  you
• 27:15
  all
• 27:15
  have
• 27:15
  talked
• 27:16
  about
• 27:16
  culture,
• 27:17
  but
• 27:17
  build
• 27:17
  a
• 27:18
  culture
• 27:18
  where
• 27:19
  those
• 27:19
  keys
• 27:19
  are
• 27:20
  shared
• 27:21
  and
• 27:21
  people
• 27:22
  understand
• 27:22
  the
• 27:23
  importance
• 27:24
  of
• 27:24
  wanting
• 27:25
  to
• 27:25
  open
• 27:25
  up,
• 27:27
  having
• 27:27
  access
• 27:28
  the
• 27:28
  doors,
• 27:29
  the
• 27:30
  belief
• 27:30
  that
• 27:31
  students
• 27:31
  can
• 27:32
  and
• 27:32
  will
• 27:33
  reach
• 27:33
  their
• 27:34
  fullest
• 27:34
  potential.
• 27:36
  And
• 27:36
  that
• 27:37
  does
• 27:37
  start
• 27:37
  with
• 27:38
  will
• 27:38
  and
• 27:38
  skill
• 27:39
  of
• 27:39
  those
• 27:39
  individuals
• 27:40
  that
• 27:40
  are
• 27:40
  serving
• 27:41
  those
• 27:41
  students.
• 27:42
  So
• 27:42
  is
• 27:42
  it
• 27:43
  the
• 27:43
  wheel
• 27:44
  of
• 27:45
  wanting
• 27:45
  to
• 27:45
  do
• 27:45
  it,
• 27:46
  not
• 27:46
  wanting
• 27:46
  to
• 27:46
  do
• 27:46
  it,
• 27:47
  belief,
• 27:47
  culture,
• 27:48
  you
• 27:48
  know,
• 27:48
  or
• 27:49
  is
• 27:49
  it
• 27:49
  the
• 27:49
  skill
• 27:50
  that
• 27:50
  they
• 27:50
  haven't
• 27:51
  been
• 27:51
  coached
• 27:51
  up
• 27:51
  enough
• 27:52
  yet
• 27:53
  to
• 27:53
  be
• 27:53
  able
• 27:53
  to
• 27:54
  do
• 27:54
  it
• 27:54
  in
• 27:54
  a
• 27:54
  way
• 27:54
  that.
• 27:55
  That's
• 27:55
  proficient,
• 27:56
  if
• 27:56
  you
• 27:56
  will?
• 27:57
  So
• 27:57
  it's
• 27:57
  not
• 27:57
  holding
• 27:58
  on
• 27:58
  to
• 27:58
  all
• 27:58
  the
• 27:59
  knowledge,
• 27:59
  is
• 27:59
  sharing
• 27:59
  it.
• 28:00
  And
• 28:01
  I
• 28:01
  think
• 28:02
  that
• 28:02
  would
• 28:02
  make
• 28:02
  a
• 28:03
  big
• 28:03
  difference
• 28:03
  in
• 28:03
  the
• 28:04
  systems.
• 28:04
  And
• 28:05
  you're
• 28:05
  chipping
• 28:06
  away
• 28:06
  at
• 28:06
  it
• 28:07
  one.
• 28:07
  One
• 28:07
  piece
• 28:07
  at
• 28:07
  a
• 28:08
  time.
• 28:08
  That's
• 28:09
  a.
• 28:09
  That's
• 28:09
  really
• 28:09
  powerful.
• 28:10
  And
• 28:10
  one
• 28:10
  of
• 28:10
  the
• 28:10
  things
• 28:11
  that
• 28:11
  popped
• 28:11
  up
• 28:11
  to
• 28:11
  me
• 28:12
  is
• 28:12
  the
• 28:13
  skill
• 28:13
  of
• 28:13
  listening
• 28:14
  and
• 28:15
  action.
• 28:16
  I
• 28:16
  think
• 28:16
  we.
• 28:17
  Sometimes
• 28:17
  we.
• 28:18
  We
• 28:18
  get
• 28:18
  people's
• 28:19
  voice,
• 28:19
  but
• 28:19
  we
• 28:19
  don't
• 28:20
  always
• 28:20
  move,
• 28:21
  and
• 28:21
  we
• 28:21
  don't
• 28:21
  always
• 28:22
  take
• 28:22
  it
• 28:22
  in
• 28:23
  and
• 28:23
  do
• 28:23
  the
• 28:24
  right
• 28:24
  things
• 28:24
  with
• 28:24
  it.
• 28:24
  So
• 28:25
  I
• 28:25
  think
• 28:25
  we
• 28:25
  have
• 28:25
  to
• 28:25
  also
• 28:26
  be
• 28:26
  skilled
• 28:26
  at
• 28:27
  continuing
• 28:28
  to
• 28:28
  get
• 28:28
  the
• 28:28
  voice
• 28:29
  of
• 28:29
  the
• 28:29
  voiceless
• 28:31
  and
• 28:31
  give
• 28:31
  power
• 28:31
  to
• 28:32
  their
• 28:32
  voice
• 28:32
  and
• 28:32
  actually
• 28:33
  shape
• 28:33
  things
• 28:33
  that
• 28:34
  actually
• 28:35
  speak
• 28:35
  to
• 28:35
  their
• 28:35
  needs
• 28:35
  and
• 28:36
  show
• 28:36
  value.
• 28:36
  If
• 28:36
  we're
• 28:37
  going
• 28:37
  to
• 28:37
  transform
• 28:37
  it,
• 28:38
  we
• 28:38
  have
• 28:38
  to
• 28:38
  understand
• 28:39
  what
• 28:39
  their
• 28:39
  actual
• 28:40
  needs
• 28:40
  and
• 28:40
  what
• 28:40
  their
• 28:41
  challenges
• 28:41
  are.
• 28:42
  So
• 28:42
  we
• 28:42
  have
• 28:42
  to
• 28:42
  continue
• 28:42
  to
• 28:43
  push
• 28:43
  for
• 28:44
  that
• 28:44
  listening
• 28:44
  and
• 28:44
  getting
• 28:45
  that
• 28:45
  voice
• 28:45
  so
• 28:45
  we
• 28:45
  can
• 28:46
  get
• 28:46
  to
• 28:46
  action
• 28:46
  that
• 28:46
  actually
• 28:47
  makes
• 28:47
  a
• 28:47
  difference
• 28:48
  and
• 28:48
  make
• 28:48
  sure.
• 28:49
  That
• 28:49
  all
• 28:49
  the
• 28:49
  right
• 28:50
  voices
• 28:50
  are
• 28:51
  seated
• 28:51
  around
• 28:51
  the
• 28:51
  table.
• 28:52
  And
• 28:52
  as
• 28:52
  we
• 28:53
  think
• 28:53
  about
• 28:53
  each
• 28:53
  student
• 28:54
  and
• 28:54
  we
• 28:54
  think
• 28:54
  about
• 28:55
  where
• 28:56
  we
• 28:56
  are
• 28:56
  as
• 28:56
  a
• 28:56
  country,
• 28:57
  many
• 28:57
  of
• 28:57
  our
• 28:57
  students,
• 28:59
  many
• 28:59
  of
• 28:59
  our.
• 28:59
  And
• 28:59
  it's
• 29:00
  a
• 29:00
  growing
• 29:00
  number
• 29:00
  every
• 29:01
  single
• 29:01
  day.
• 29:01
  Many
• 29:01
  of
• 29:02
  our
• 29:02
  students
• 29:02
  speak
• 29:02
  a
• 29:02
  language
• 29:03
  other
• 29:03
  than
• 29:03
  English
• 29:04
  and
• 29:05
  at
• 29:05
  home.
• 29:06
  Right.
• 29:06
  And
• 29:07
  so,
• 29:07
  Gretchen,
• 29:08
  how
• 29:08
  important
• 29:08
  is
• 29:09
  language
• 29:10
  as
• 29:10
  a
• 29:11
  doorway
• 29:11
  to
• 29:11
  this
• 29:12
  work
• 29:12
  as
• 29:12
  well?
• 29:13
  Yeah,
• 29:13
  I
• 29:13
  think
• 29:13
  it's
• 29:14
  really
• 29:14
  important
• 29:14
  to
• 29:14
  celebrate
• 29:15
  bilingualism,
• 29:17
  to
• 29:17
  send
• 29:17
  the
• 29:17
  message
• 29:18
  that
• 29:18
  bilingualism
• 29:19
  is
• 29:19
  a
• 29:20
  superpower.
• 29:21
  And
• 29:21
  it's
• 29:22
  really
• 29:22
  incredible
• 29:23
  when
• 29:23
  a
• 29:23
  student
• 29:23
  is
• 29:24
  able
• 29:24
  to
• 29:25
  read,
• 29:25
  write,
• 29:26
  and
• 29:26
  speak
• 29:27
  in
• 29:27
  More
• 29:27
  than
• 29:28
  one
• 29:28
  language.
• 29:29
  We
• 29:29
  want
• 29:30
  to
• 29:30
  celebrate
• 29:30
  that.
• 29:31
  We
• 29:31
  want
• 29:32
  to
• 29:32
  send
• 29:32
  the
• 29:32
  message
• 29:33
  that,
• 29:33
  you
• 29:33
  know,
• 29:33
  your
• 29:34
  home
• 29:34
  language
• 29:34
  is
• 29:35
  very
• 29:35
  valued.
• 29:36
  We
• 29:36
  want
• 29:36
  you
• 29:37
  to
• 29:37
  continue
• 29:38
  to
• 29:38
  cultivate
• 29:39
  that
• 29:39
  language,
• 29:41
  use
• 29:41
  it
• 29:41
  as
• 29:41
  a
• 29:42
  resource
• 29:43
  and,
• 29:44
  you
• 29:44
  know,
• 29:45
  whatever,
• 29:45
  whatever
• 29:46
  we
• 29:46
  can
• 29:46
  do
• 29:46
  to
• 29:47
  help
• 29:47
  you
• 29:47
  to
• 29:48
  continue
• 29:48
  to
• 29:48
  develop
• 29:49
  it,
• 29:49
  we
• 29:50
  want
• 29:50
  to
• 29:50
  support
• 29:51
  that
• 29:51
  as
• 29:51
  you
• 29:52
  continue
• 29:52
  to
• 29:53
  learn
• 29:53
  English
• 29:53
  as
• 29:53
  a
• 29:54
  new
• 29:54
  language.
• 29:55
  Gretchen,
• 29:55
  when
• 29:56
  I
• 29:56
  listened
• 29:56
  to
• 29:56
  your
• 29:56
  episode,
• 29:57
  I
• 29:57
  thought
• 29:57
  of
• 29:57
  a
• 29:57
  Vietnamese
• 29:58
  student
• 29:58
  of
• 29:58
  mine,
• 29:59
  Minh,
• 29:59
  who
• 29:59
  was
• 29:59
  esl,
• 30:00
  enl,
• 30:01
  and
• 30:01
  it
• 30:01
  wasn't
• 30:02
  until
• 30:02
  pandemic
• 30:03
  and
• 30:03
  we
• 30:03
  were
• 30:03
  in
• 30:04
  lockdown
• 30:04
  maybe
• 30:05
  the
• 30:05
  third
• 30:05
  week,
• 30:05
  and
• 30:05
  I
• 30:06
  was
• 30:06
  roaming
• 30:06
  my
• 30:06
  house
• 30:06
  like,
• 30:07
  you
• 30:07
  know,
• 30:07
  Jack
• 30:07
  Nicholson
• 30:07
  and
• 30:08
  the
• 30:08
  Shining,
• 30:09
  trying
• 30:09
  to
• 30:09
  find
• 30:10
  people.
• 30:11
  I
• 30:11
  decided
• 30:11
  I
• 30:12
  was
• 30:12
  going
• 30:12
  to
• 30:12
  start
• 30:12
  texting
• 30:13
  students
• 30:13
  to
• 30:13
  see
• 30:14
  how
• 30:14
  they're
• 30:14
  doing.
• 30:15
  And
• 30:15
  when
• 30:15
  I
• 30:16
  got
• 30:16
  to
• 30:16
  Min,
• 30:17
  he
• 30:18
  was
• 30:19
  always
• 30:19
  very
• 30:20
  good
• 30:20
  in
• 30:20
  physics,
• 30:20
  could
• 30:21
  do
• 30:21
  the
• 30:21
  math,
• 30:21
  did
• 30:21
  not
• 30:21
  say
• 30:22
  a
• 30:22
  lot.
• 30:22
  He
• 30:23
  turned
• 30:23
  like
• 30:24
  verbose
• 30:24
  into
• 30:25
  this
• 30:25
  Chatty
• 30:25
  Cathy
• 30:26
  through
• 30:26
  text.
• 30:27
  And
• 30:27
  I
• 30:27
  realized
• 30:28
  he
• 30:28
  had
• 30:28
  much
• 30:29
  more
• 30:29
  vocabulary
• 30:30
  than
• 30:30
  I
• 30:31
  had
• 30:31
  given
• 30:31
  him
• 30:31
  credit
• 30:32
  for.
• 30:32
  I
• 30:32
  just
• 30:32
  had
• 30:32
  not
• 30:33
  yet
• 30:33
  given
• 30:33
  him
• 30:34
  the
• 30:34
  mode
• 30:34
  of
• 30:35
  communicating.
• 30:36
  Like,
• 30:36
  this
• 30:36
  kid
• 30:37
  knows
• 30:37
  language
• 30:37
  structure.
• 30:38
  He
• 30:38
  is
• 30:39
  really
• 30:39
  impressing
• 30:40
  me.
• 30:40
  That
• 30:41
  was
• 30:41
  an
• 30:41
  epiphany.
• 30:41
  I'm
• 30:42
  not
• 30:42
  an
• 30:42
  ESL
• 30:42
  ENL
• 30:43
  teacher.
• 30:44
  And
• 30:44
  recognizing
• 30:45
  that
• 30:45
  we
• 30:45
  have
• 30:45
  to
• 30:45
  give
• 30:46
  kids
• 30:46
  opportunities
• 30:47
  to
• 30:48
  communicate
• 30:48
  in
• 30:48
  ways
• 30:49
  that
• 30:49
  show
• 30:49
  their
• 30:50
  strengths
• 30:51
  in
• 30:51
  whatever
• 30:52
  way
• 30:52
  that
• 30:52
  might
• 30:52
  be.
• 30:53
  Absolutely.
• 30:55
  I
• 30:55
  love
• 30:55
  that
• 30:55
  story.
• 30:56
  That's
• 30:56
  great.
• 30:58
  So
• 30:58
  today
• 30:58
  we've
• 30:58
  heard
• 30:59
  that
• 30:59
  equity
• 31:00
  is
• 31:00
  a
• 31:00
  mindset,
• 31:01
  language
• 31:01
  is
• 31:01
  a

  doorway,
• 31:02
  and
• 31:02
  transformational
• 31:03
  leadership
• 31:04
  is
• 31:04
  the
• 31:04
  hinge
• 31:04
  that
• 31:04
  holds
• 31:05
  the
• 31:05
  door
• 31:05
  open.
• 31:05
  But
• 31:06
  here's
• 31:06
  the
• 31:06
  real
• 31:06
  question,

  it

  in

  That's

  about

  creating

  spaces

  that

  affirm
• 31:20
  their

  identity.
• 31:21
  Spaces

  filled

  with

  belonging,

  humanity,
