Today our panelists will be discussing the following three questions:
• How do you create and sustain a culture focused on student learning in your building?
• How do you structure intervention in middle and high schools to ensure the success of all students?
• How do you manage instructional change in the transition to the Common Core State Standards?

Building Student-Centered Leadership and Culture
What drives you?

Student-Centered Culture
• Begin with the end in mind. “To envision in your mind what you cannot see presently with your eyes.” Steven Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
• Possess a growth, not fixed mindset. Growth is the foundation of great results-not the fixation on grades.
• Praise the “practice, persistence and effort.”

Student-Centered Culture
• Student program of study must be “dialed in” to a specific point of difficulty. Zone of Proximal Development.
• Students’ sense of accomplishment must outweigh their labor of learning.
• Student learning should be “customized,” not “standardized.” The student-centered educator will gain knowledge of the importance and singularity of each child.

Student-Centered Culture
• Must have “safety nets” for their students. Students by the age of 18 years have spent only 13% of their waking hours in school.
• 5:1 Ratio- To improve student engagement and performance in learning, they need five positive experiences for every negative one.
• Value the areas of strength in each child and seek to nurture.

Building Collaborative Culture
• Speaking English, Not “Core”• Sharing Useful Resources Beyond Routine Borders• Liberating Teachers from Textbooks & Worksheets
![Page 24: Secondary School Leadership Panel](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568165ae550346895dd89c83/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Speak English, Not Core
• Don’t lose good people to jargon.• Stated simply, Common Core emphasizes – Reading Comprehension– Supporting Arguments with Evidence not Emotions– Understanding Mathematical Practices and Concepts– Applying Skills to Solve Realistic, Real-World Problems
