1) The document discusses leading change in schools and finding one's "why" for their work. It emphasizes that when facing difficulties, it is not the problems themselves but forgetting one's reasons for taking them on that causes struggle. 2) It discusses envisioning what schools should look like in the future and how change is difficult due to the "tyranny of the urgent." Effective teams have clarity of purpose, avoid behaviors like blaming and complaining, and understand student needs using Maslow's hierarchy. 3) One truth emphasized is that teachers have an enormous impact on students and deserve support in their challenging work of changing lives. Progress requires everyone realizing their brilliance and potential to lead change.

Pocantico presentation (keynote - August)

- 5. In the really difficult times it is not WHAT we are dealing with that brings us struggle and stress. It is simply forgetting WHY we are dealing it. What is your WHY?
- 8. MY WHY Time is a finite resource. Live a life of purpose Teachers can change the trajectory of kid’s lives My kids do not deserve any better – AND they Deserve the best
- 9. MISSION 2029 What should school look like in 2029 to best serve kids?
- 10. So, if we know it should look different why is change so hard to create in schools?

- 14. The TYRANNY of the urgent makes CHANGE incredibly difficult in schools.
- 16. What is the best team you have ever been a part of? Why was it so effective?
- 17. “Responsible to the element, accountable to the mission.” • Responsibility is about trust, reliability, and dependability. • Accountability is about loyalty, commitment, and not letting each other down. • For true teamwork to take place, be responsible to yourself and accountable to others.
- 18. As to why we ignore the merits of those who disagree with us, we do it because it’s easy to distance ourselves from “the other.” It takes enormous courage to consider different different views to our own, but it’s from here that real progress and growth can begin to turn everyone’s fortunes around around for the better and greater good.
- 20. Whether or not a team is successful, usually depends on how they interact on around three themes

- 29. EXAMPLE • BLAME – The kids do not take the test seriously. • COMPLAIN – I wish the state would realize how ridiculous it is to mandate HS students take a standardized assessment • DEFEND – And I know what I did for those kids this year and that test just does not measure it

- 31. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs PHYSIOLOGICAL OR SURVIVAL NEEDS SAFETY NEEDS LOVE, AFFECTION, AND BELONGINGNESS NEEDS ESTEEM NEEDS SELF- ACTUALIZATION
- 33. TRUTH #3 We would never, ever invent school to look this way Progress is dependent upon EVERYONE realizing their realizing their brilliance and taking the chance to lead chance to lead change
- 34. Life can be much broader once you discover one SIMPLE fact: and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were NO SMARTER than you. And you CAN change it. You CAN influence it. You CAN build your own things other people can use. Steve Jobs

Editor's Notes
- I once ate the exact same dinner for 21 straight days I prefer to brush my teeth in the shower I use the same hair gel I used in high school despite being able to afford and realizing that other products are clearly superior I change up my work out routines but always find myself returning to one that my HS basketball coach wrote for me twenty years ago I like to sleep on the left side of the bed I like to park on the right side of the garage I have to sit facing the exit in restaurants I once totaled a car and could afford a much nicer car and I bought the EXACT same car again . . . that was three months ago

- I have come to this realization after attending just about every conference in the world, reading an intense amount of books, visiting lots of schools, and hearing the very best speakers in the world. Schools change from the inside out. Students, teachers, and principals change schools. District offices, state agencies, and the Feds can ONLY create conditions for change if they are really going to take root. And – the most important driver of change in schools is undoubtedly the teachers. That is a lot of pressure. But really, it is the only way this tide is going to turn . . . . Disrupting the status quo is about micro-decision after micro-decision finding problems and finding solutions to problems.
- So – Mr. Motivational Speaker – where do we start? I am glad you asked. I think that in order to move forward we must be very intentional about what our truths are. And when I talk about truths – I mean facts PLUS. I am thinking about the things that inarguably or disproportionately impact our school systems in the current state. And how we either BATTLE that or LEVERAGE that in order to create a better holistic product.
