WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.”

Abraham Lincoln

CREATING A SENSE OF URGENCY• Becoming Aware of what we want.

• Creating enough pain behind us for what has happened in the past.

• Step into being that individual…

A Decision Must Be Made

HOW DO WE IMPROVE CASTLEBERRY ISD?

School Improvement/District Improvement can not and will not happen unless we have PEOPLE IMPROVEMENT!When you talk about school improvement, you are talking about people improvement. That is the only way to improve schools, unless you mean painting the buildings, and fixing the floors. But that’s not the school: it is the shell…we are talking about the people who make up the building.

TRIVIA TIME!

NAME A MOVIE THAT FOCUSED ON THE LIFE OF AN EDUCATOR.

WE MUST ALSO BE WILLING TO…RECULTURE

CASTLEBERRY ISD

SCHOOL CULTURESchool Culture is the set of

norms, values, beliefs, rituals and ceremonies, symbols, and

stories that make up the persona of the school.

“TOXIC” SCHOOL CULTUREEducators believe that student

success is based upon students’ level of concern, attentiveness, prior knowledge, and willingness to comply with the demands of the school, and they articulate that belief in overt and covert

ways. Educators create policies and procedures and adopt

practices that support their belief in the impossibility of universal

achievement.

“HEALTHY” SCHOOL CULTUREEducators have an unwavering belief in the ability of all of their

students to achieve success, and they pass that belief on to

others in overt and covert ways. Educators create policies and

procedures and adopt practices that support their belief in the

ability of every student.

LOU HOLTZ ONCE SAID…Ability is what you’re capable of

doing.

Motivation determines what you do.

ATTITUDE determines how well you do it.

GROWTH MINDSETPEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEIR MOST BASIC ABILITIES CAN BE DEVELOPED THROUGH

DEDICATION AND HARD WORK – BRAINS AND TALENT ARE JUST THE STARTING POINT.

Coming Together Is A Beginning,

Keeping Together Is Progress,

Working Together Is Success!
