SERVICE UNAVAILABLE

What do teachers in your school do when the internet is suddenly unavailable?

You can tell a lot (although maybe not everything) about a person who leaves a shopping cart in the parking lot without returning it to the cart bin or the store front. (This very event has its own study and stories galore.) Likewise, much can be said for how teachers respond on normal class days when internet access is unexpectedly unavailable.

The chasm is wide between a teacher who quickly gives up on the day's plans and one who adroitly modifies the class experience to a different but effective lesson format. Teachers are either prepared for this or they are not!

School leaders will eventually have opportunities to model what this looks like for a school-wide function (e.g. faculty meeting, parent night, field trip, etc.) and the tone that is set then will repeat itself in classrooms over and over.

#PrincipalExcellence can be seen through the actions of leaders who respond with calm, wisdom, and adherence to performance expectations regardless of the interruption.

Partner with us for this kind of school leadership preparation so you and your school are ready for the unknown.
