Managing Your Critics 2.0
The Fires are STILL Burning and The Waves are STILL High
Despite some of our best efforts, public schools continue to be getting attacks from all sides. It seems that there is no end to the tactics our critics will use in an effort to distract us from our core mission. We are exhausted by the need to continually respond to misinformation and defend our practices focused on serving the individual needs of each and every student. We know the best strategy is to proactively promote a positive narrative about what is really happening in our classrooms. But what else can you do? Building on our successful “The Fires and Burning and The Waves are High” presentation shared last year, and reflecting on what has been happening in schools around the country over the last 12 months, this session will explore even more ways to tell your district’s story, address criticisms, build trust with stakeholders, and lead the way in bringing civility and respect back into community dialogues.
